Re: James 1:5 αἰτείτω παρὰ τοῦ διδόντος θεοῦ πᾶσιν ἁπλῶς καὶ μὴ ὀνειδίζοντος parsing

Would a construction τοῦ διδόντος καὶ μὴ ὀνειδίζοντος θεοῦ make sense? τοῦ διδόντος [καὶ μὴ ὀνειδίζοντος] θεοῦ makes sense to me. Supposing this is so, one does wonder about the grammar and sense of πᾶσιν ἁπλῶς. Could it be "to all [who ask] simply"? Or "[giving, without reproaching]...

Re: οὐ... πᾶσα σάρξ (A discourse analysis of Gal 2:14b-16)

Matthew 24:22: καὶ εἰ μὴ ἐκολοβώθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι ἐκεῖναι, οὐκ ἂν ἐσώθη πᾶσα σάρξ· διὰ δὲ τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς κολοβωθήσονται αἱ ἡμέραι ἐκεῖναι.

Re: οὐ... πᾶσα σάρξ (A discourse analysis of Gal 2:14b-16)

Gregory, to convince me, I think you would have to give a consistent meaning to οῦ (μὴ) ... πᾶς, looking at all of the passages, not just a few - at least the passages I provided earlier. When I try to do that, I find myself agreeing with the traditional interpretation. And I would also find it hel...

Re: οὐ... πᾶσα σάρξ (A discourse analysis of Gal 2:14b-16)

According to the more common understanding, it used to be that the only flesh redeemable by the Law were those who lived in Palestine . Now however, all flesh is justified by faith in Jesus Christ, as his churches are being established all over the world." This itself needs interpretation. I s...

Re: οὐ... πᾶσα σάρξ (A discourse analysis of Gal 2:14b-16)

I think I can count Jerome's commentary as ancient support for my interpretation. I came up with this interpretation of Gal 2:16 after consulting Jerome. Later, I sought out a similar argument to my own and found Christopher J. Monaghan's. Here is what Jerome says at Gal 2:16b (which he had elaborat...

Re: οὐ... πᾶσα σάρξ (A discourse analysis of Gal 2:14b-16)

Yes. cf 1 Cor 1:29 (ὅπως μὴ καυχήσηται πᾶσα σὰρξ ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ). μὴ καυχήσηται negates the idea that "all flesh" will boast before God. But it does not rule out the possibility of some despised "flesh" appropriately boasting in weakness as Paul himself does (2 Cor 11:30). Para...

Re: ἵνα μὴ ἃ ἐὰν θέλητε ταῦτα ποιῆτε (Gal 5:17b)

It is pretty clear that you disagree with my exegetical thesis for ἵνα μὴ ἃ ἐὰν θέλητε ταῦτα ποιῆτε (Gal 5:17b), but I don't know what you are advocating. What is your exegesis of this New Testament Greek text? Exegesis isn’t generally among the purposes of B-Greek, though, is it? Hasn’t this speci...

Re: ἵνα μὴ ἃ ἐὰν θέλητε ταῦτα ποιῆτε (Gal 5:17b)

To be honest I don't see how this discussion fits into this forum. About everything which has been said could have been said without resorting to Koine. One reason is the nuance of the word θέλω and the nuance when Paul uses it combination of the word ποιέω. Quoting Greek words and passages feels l...
