Re: Buying - ὠνήσασθαι v. ἀγοράζειν, ἀγορᾶσαι

Does anyone have any thoughts as to why the older verb ὠνήσασθαι is used in καὶ μετετέθησαν εἰς Συχέμ , καὶ ἐτέθησαν ἐν τῷ μνήματι ὃ ὠνήσατο Ἀβραὰμ τιμῆς ἀργυρίου παρὰ τῶν υἱῶν Ἐμμὸρ τοῦ Συχέμ. and they were brought back to Shechem, and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver fro...

Re: John 8:33 Antecedant of "they"

In v. 15 Jesus is teaching in the temple, and a mixed group is standing around him. v. 19 ends with "Why are you seeking to kill me?" V. 19 has to be directed to the hostile leaders, not the crowd. It is possible that v. 16-17 is directed to people in general, while v. 18 looks like a sub...

Re: John 8:33 Antecedant of "they"

v. 30 marks a paragraph break where the author again makes a comment, this time not about the Pharisees, but some of the common people in the crowd. How Jesus knew that some had come to believe in him is not stated, but Jesus spoke to this group in v. 32-33. I take this as a parenthesis and intrusi...

Re: Phil.1:21 κέρδος/κερδῆσαι, κτᾶσθαι, χρῆμα, αὐξάνειν/αὔξη

Starting with κερδῆσαι, which seems to mean "to work and strive to get" and (sometimes) even with the sense "to obtain after the striving and working for something". The final attainment is an optional part of the meaning I think. ... If κέρδος is the gain / acquisition that one...

Re: 2 Cor. 5:20

Andreas Köstenberger in an article in the Bible Translator follows a number of commentators (Alford, Bruce, Hughes, Plummer, Thrall [in her comments]) in arguing that Paul is in 5.20 still describing his general task rather than making an appeal to the Corinthians in particular. "We Plead on Ch...

Re: Κύριος

Re: Is ποτε really enclitic in Gal 1:23

FYI (and I suppose you already know): It is also orthotonic in both RP 2005 (oxytone with the comma) and the 1905 EP edition (barytone with no comma). Actually, I didn't know, and I appreciate your pointing them out to me. I agree with either (not being so wedded to the comma). Ἐκπλήκτως, TR which ...

Re: Help with kai (Rev 12:2)

I'm wondering if I can try and take this one level deeper, if that's ok. Still looking at that final kai in Rev. 12:2. It's clear that ὠδίνουσα (being in birth pains) is a result of her being ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχουσα (with child). But what if anything might the conjunction (ὠδίνουσα καὶ βασανιζομένη τεκεῖν...
