<x-charset iso-8859-1>On 16 December 1999 at 3:16PM, Carl W. Conrad commented:
<<This is not just the Greek of the NT but Greek of all periods,
particularly
in proverbs or cliché phrases such as SKHNH PAS hO BIOS ("all life is a
stage") or Callimachus' dictum MEGA BIBLION MEGA KAKON ("a long book-poem is
a huge pain-in-the-neck"); Paul does it frequently, e.g., AGAPH
ANUPOKRITOS: "love (should be) not-play-acting" (somewhere in Romans 14).>>
The one I always remember is 2 Tim 3:16, where it has always seemed to me an
explicit verb would have resolved some ambiguities in the sequence! Is
QEOPNEUSTOS a characterization or a qualification of PASA GRAFH?
