Re: 1 John 3.17 and 4.3
The object of θεωρῆ is not χρείαν but τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ. So I think this is a bit of an aside now that I understand what I was getting wrong originally, but why is "τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ" rather than "τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ χρείαν ἔχοντα" the object? Because there are two nouns in the ac...

Re: 1 John 3.17 and 4.3
Hi again, I've run into another couple of verses that I'm confused by. First is 3.17: ὃς δ’ ἂν ἔχῃ τὸν βίον τοῦ κόσμου καὶ θεωρῇ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ χρείαν ἔχοντα καὶ κλείσῃ τὰ σπλάγχνα αὐτοῦ ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ, πῶς ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ Θεοῦ μένει ἐν αὐτῷ; I can't figure out what the subject of ἐχω is. It seems from t...

Re: Understanding ἀνήρ in Ephesians 5:23
The strongest argument in favor of husband is context. The passage is about the marriage relationship and it is part of a larger household code. The burden has to be on the one arguing against context for a grammatical rule that forbids the "husband" reading, and there isn't one. Don't get...

Re: Differentiating Aorist and Imperfect 3rd person singular liquid verbs
Looking at ἤγειρεν - https://biblehub.com/greek/e_geiren_1453.htm , there appear to be 21 instances, all of which are being shown as Aorist, but how can you tell? Is there a convention or is it just a question of working it out from context? Or have I in fact missed some obvious reason why "sh...

Re: John A. Lee on αγαπαω and φιλεω in John 21:15-17
What sort of resources would a reader of the GNT need to look at to see whether a particular lexeme is becoming more obsolescent than another at a certain time to help make such a formality judgement. That coupled with the register of the sources it appears in. It strikes me that this sort of analy...

Re: Kantor - The Pronunciation of New Testament Greek
I’m willing to bet the apostles spoke Greek with a foreign accent. Probably correct, it will be interesting to see how / whether he touches on that. I do believe that some of his currently published research looks at pronunciation in different broad regions but I can’t recall where I saw that. Do y...

Re: Beekman - One or Two Translators? Translation Technique and Theology of LXX Proverbs and Its Relation to LXX Job
Is that final “their” an actual plural (so two translation) or a singular “they” (so just one translator)?
