στεφανος vs βραβειον
I think I was taught that στεφανος was for the victor at the Olympic games, while βραβειον was a king's crown. After checking out BDAG, it seems that BOTH of these words were used for the Olympic/Isthmian games. It seems like the crown βραβειον was made to last longer, often having gold in it. My qu...

Re: Middle Voice for the Future Tense
Upon further reflection, would it be correct for me to say that γινωσκω is Active (default) in FORM, but Middle in MEANING. [I've noticed that Mounce seems to first translate γινωσκω as "I know," and then concludes that γινωσκω is Active in meaning since the ENGLISH is Active in his transl...

Middle Voice for the Future Tense
The change from γινωσκω in the Present to γνωσομαι in the Future seems hard for me to grasp. I have read other posts out here regarding the Middle Voice and the Deponent verbs. My question is Why does γινωσκω change to the Middle Voice (not deponent) in the Future? Which is to ask, Why is not the Mi...

Re: Μονογενης
Eeli, I followed your link to a previous discussion of this word and found a paragraph that caught my attention. Finally, I examined the suffix —γενής found in many Greek words, including εὐηγενής ("well born"), ἀγενής ("low born"), ἀλλογενής ("other born"), πατρογενής ...

Μονογενης
It appears to me that this word never meant "only BEGOTTEN." (per BDAG) Does this word have any meaning I'm not aware of that allows it to be translated, "only BEGOTTEN"?

Re: Gal 1:7
Hi Moon,
I can see that you have been gone for a few years. We no longer write using English characters. We are all to actually write in Greek now. Of course most just cut and paste a text I suppose. Welcome back.

But this is GOD's heart Luke is talking about, not David's. David is a man 'after God's heart.' So, it seems very difficult for this to mean devoted to God. I am sure I have misunderstood your answer here.So in other words, it means to be wholeheartedly devoted to God

22 και μεταστησας αυτον ηγειρεν τον δαυιδ αυτοις εις βασιλεα ω και ειπεν μαρτυρησας ευρον δαυιδ τον του ιεσσαι [ανδρα] κατα την καρδιαν μου ος ποιησει παντα τα θεληματα μου Is [ανδρα] κατα την καρδιαν μου an idiom, or is it simpler? The surface level meaning is plain enough, but I've heard (can't re...
