Temporal Dative in John 2:20

εἶπαν οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι · τεσσεράκοντα καὶ ἓξ ἔτεσιν οἰκοδομήθη ὁ ναὸς οὗτος, καὶ σὺ ἐν τρισὶν ἡμέραις ἐγερεῖς; What's the meaning of the temporal dative τεσσεράκοντα καὶ ἓξ ἔτεσιν in John 2:20? Translations seem to be all over the map. The NRSV and NET have "This temple has been under construct...

Re: Gender of EKEINOS in Joh 16,13

In both cited cases, it seems clear that the antecedent to ἐκεῖνος is the masculine ὁ παράκλητος.

Re: Romans 2:21-23, Change from article to relative pronoun

Oh I am getting that from the context, which does is not addressed to a single person. I know that it is grammatically singular in that section, but it clearly conveys groups of people, even as verse 24 implies with its explicit "υμας". Well, I think it's clear that you recognize what Pau...

Re: Writing Greek by Anderson & Taylor

I don't see anything wrong with doing the exercises in a thread on this forum. Someone could post the questions and a group of people can offer their take on the translations.

Re: Romans 2:21-23, Change from article to relative pronoun

Hmm why does it have the same referent as the previous participles? In each clause, the question is directly related to the description of the relevant group of persons, and they all have second person constructions, which is why we read them as questions. Must the last clause be different? Do you ...

Re: What kind of genitive is «μορφῇ θεοῦ» in Phil. 2:6?

I know it's not good of me to say this, but, when asked what kind of genitive something is, my first thought is "aporetic" without even looking at the text.

Re: Romans 2:21-23, Change from article to relative pronoun

I think "ὃς" is a bit more appropriate for the final phrase, because it is more generic: "Whoever boasts in law, do you dishonour God through the transgression of the law? This proposal needs to take fuller account of the fact that καυχᾶσαι is second person singular and had the same ...

Re: Simple question on the 28th Nestle-Aland Greek NT

The apparatus has been updated throughout the NT, but only in the Catholic Epistles has the text changed.

Re: Aspectual interpretation of ἐβουλήθη in Matt 1:19?

Is it the English language filter which triggered the question, or is it the Greek grammar rules that I have come to being accustomed with?' I am proposing this because I (as a Romanian native speaker) would feel no need to analyse such a matter, simply because my language would accept verbs like '...
