Strong's is not a proper resource for any kind of real work in ancient Greek. There are much better lexigraphical resources, and nobody who actually knows Greek thinks that ῥύομαι in any way is related to ῤέω. You are simply in error here.

Even if this were true, it's an opinion not related to the understanding of the Greek of the passage under discussion.

These kinds of sentence fragments make your posts extremely difficult to understand.

Now, a second warning -- you really need to learn some Greek before you post anymore on any subject, or at least demonstrate that you are making progress in learning the language in a meaningful way. A third warning will put you on moderation.

Sir, may I remind you that source is from the Greek and not just from STRONG/THAYER?

I am not trying to offend you, but apparently you seem to know more than those who have written subjects on the word ῥύομαι, so I would, being a novice, admonish you to read carefully the exegesis of ρύω or rather ῥύομαι.

It would appear that you have come to the B-Greek Forum with the intention of preaching and teaching, not of learning or exchanging information with other members of this community. You need to understand that we don’t preach here -- we come from a very broad range of faith-perspectives and prefer to discuss not matters concerning faith but rather matters concerning the Greek text of the Biblical books and how that text is to be understood as a Greek text.

You write, “I am not trying to offend you, but apparently you seem to know more than those who have written subjects on the word ῥύομαι, so I would, being a novice, admonish you to read carefully the exegesis of ρύω or rather ῥύομαι. “

I’m not really sure what you’re trying to do. You admit you’re a novice, but in the capacity of a novice you “admonish” Barry to read carefully “the exegesis of ρύω or rather ῥύομαι. “ Did you perhaps mean “the etymology of ρύω or rather ῥύομαι”? I assure you that Barry doesn’t need that “admonition.” His competence in Greek, his qualifications as a teacher, and his discernment of significant distinctions in Greek texts is well-respected in this community.

What I find astonishing here is the authority you attribute to a Greek and English Dictionary published by John Groves in 1834. With regard to etymology a very great amount of water has passed under the bridge since 1834. Serious students and scholars now regard two lexica as authoritative reference works for the study of the Greek Bible: one is “BDAG” A Greek - English Lexicon of the New Testament and other Early Christian Literature, Third Edition revised and edited by Fredrick William Danker. University of Chicago Press, 2000; the other is “LSJ” A Greek-English Lexicon, Ninth Edition with a Revised Supplement by Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, Henry Stuart Jones and Roderick McKenzie (Aug 1, 1996).

Neither of these two lexicographical authorities recognize any linkage between the two verbal roots ῥεϝ/ῥοϝ/ῥυ “flow/stream” and ἐρῠ- ῥῡ- from ser̆- srū-, cogn. with Lat. seruare, v. οὖρος ‘guard’, ἔρυμα, ἐρυμνοίς. It is true that there are two nouns derived from these roots that look very much alike but are different in that one of them has a long-vowel υ while the other has a short-vowel υ· :
(1) from ῥεϝ/ῥοϝ/ῥυ derives ῥύσις [ῠ], εως, ἡ, (ῥέω) flow -- note the short vowel and the acute accent --
(2) from ἐρῠ- ῥῡ-derives ῥῦσις, εως, ἡ, ( ἐρύω (b)) deliverance

The verb in Matthew 6:13 is ῥῦσαι, 2 sg. aorist imperative middle of ῥύομαι, “save, rescue, deliver, preserve.” It has nothing to do with the verb ῥέω or a verbal root meaning "flow."
οὔτοι ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς πάντα θεοὶ θνητοῖς ὑπέδειξαν,
ἀλλὰ χρόνῳ ζητέοντες ἐφευρίσκουσιν ἄμεινον. (Xenophanes, Fragment 16)

Yes, Roy, we all are quite aware of all this data and these clauses with these verbs. We're all trying to tell you that they don't mean what you think they mean. Barry is right. You are wrong. Asserting the same thing over and over again doesn't change that.

And as Carl has said, if you're here to preach at everyone rather than learn and dialogue, then you're in the wrong place.

I humbly beg your pardon, the word is in the CODEX is all caps, no puncuation, and is spelled ῥῦσαι. It is NOT spelled ῥύομαι.

If you'll note the accentuation, you'll see what I indicated in my previous message, that there are two different words here, one with a long υ and a circumflex accent, ῥῦσις, meaning “deliverance”, the other with a short υ and an acute accent, ῥύσις, meaning “flow”. You have ignored this difference. And, as Heraclitus (fragment 48) noted with regard to βίος ("life") and βιός ("bow"), a difference in accentuation can be a life-death difference.

Re: Mat 6:13 Who is addressed?

Post by cwconrad »

I had thought you were relying upon a supposed single verb bearing both meanings, namely "flow" and "protect." The evidence is there for the two different verbs from two different roots, even if one wants to rely upon an unaccented form ΡΥΣΑΙ as form in the MS of Codex Alexandrinus. That doesn't really resolve the issue about Mt 6:13, however, The attested form of the aorist stem of the verb ῥέω is ῥεύσα-

BDAG: "aor. impv. 3 pl. ῥευσάτωσαν SSol 4:16; ptc. gen. sg. ῥεύσαντος (Just., D. 67, 2)."

LSJ: " aor. ἔρρευσα Ar.Eq.526 (anap.), Hp.Loc.Hom.11, Int.23, Mosch.3.33, AP5.32 (Parmen.), Plb.5.15.7 (ἀπ-), Paus.5.7.4, etc."

The 2 sg. aorist middle imperative from ῥέω should be ῥεὐσαι (the 2 sg. aorist active imperative would be ῥεῦσον.

The form we have in Mt 6:13 is ῥῦσαι -- from the verb ῥύομαι.
