Re: greetings
How do you approach parsing verbs and understanding aspect in NT Greek do you use specific tools or rely on manual analysis? Hi Laura - can you give a little context for your question? You may be asking "how do I learn to read Greek". Or maybe you are asking "how can I use computer t...

Re: Servant of Jesus Christ
Remarcable: only the Introductions of the Letters of Jude and James have the Word Order ιησου χριστου (or:χρισταυ ιησου) δουλος. Id didn’t find this order in the other Catholic/Pauline letters in any transcription of the INTF/IGNTP. According to the ECM-Catholic Letters Jude has in the mss 180, 175...

Re: Servant of Jesus Christ
Paul identifies himself as a servant of Jesus Christ, Παῦλος δοῦλος Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ (Romans 1:1) Jude makes the same identification, Ἰούδας Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ δοῦλος (Jude 1:1) Is there any nuance to Jude's word order? In Greek, the usual order would be δοῦλος Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ (servant of Christ Jesus), with...

Re: Hello all forum members
I think that the combination of the available English translations rule out much difference between the meaning of the Greek and the meaning conveyed in English. Yet I think you miss a lot when you read in English. Particularly the very different writing styles of each author and the "feel&quo...

Re: Hello all forum members
The original post also asked for examples with word choice. Here are some - again, feel free to push back or disagree. Or add new ones! ἱλαστήριον Hyperliteral translation: "place of atonement / propitiatory covering" Comment: This word can mean the lid of the ark (the "mercy seat&quo...

Re: Hello all forum members
First off, I do think there is a lot of hype, but I don't think translations convey everything. Here are some examples involving tense and aspect - feel free to push back or disagree with my understanding of any of them: πᾶς ὁ πίνων ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος τούτου διψήσει πάλιν, ὃς δ’ ἂν πῇ ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος οὗ ἐγ...

Re: The meaning of ὁρίζω in Romans 1:4
Still noodling on this ... I think this refers to three distinct times: εἰς εὐαγγέλιον θεοῦ ὃ προεπηγγείλατο διὰ τῶν προφητῶν αὐτοῦ ἐν γραφαῖς ἁγίαις περὶ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, τοῦ γενομένου ἐκ σπέρματος Δαυὶδ κατὰ σάρκα, τοῦ ὁρισθέντος υἱοῦ θεοῦ ἐν δυνάμει κατὰ πνεῦμα ἁγιωσύνης ἐξ ἀναστάσεως νεκρῶν The t...

Re: The meaning of ὁρίζω in Romans 1:4
Dear fellow B-Greekers, I’m currently wrestling with the semantic range of ὁρίζω in Romans 1:4 (τοῦ ὁρισθέντος υἱοῦ θεοῦ ἐν δυνάμει), particularly in light of various translations and interpretations—most notably N.T. Wright’s rendering: “who was marked out powerfully as God’s son.” Wright appears ...

Re: ὑπερβυτεροι
Fascinating. As far as I can tell, ὑπερβυτεροι does not occur in any lexicon, not even in Evangelinos Apostolides Sophocles' Greek Lexicon of the Roman and Byzantine Periods (from B.C. 146 to A.D. 1100), which often contains words not described elsewhere. I haven't been able to find that word in use...
