writing G_d

I'm hoping someone can enlighten me on a question I was recently asked. In the 1) Hebrew OT, is the name elohim, or other names of God, written with a letter or two missing, as we might english it "G_d" to illustrate the Hebrew custom? And, is this the same in the 2) LXX? In the LXX, do we...

Re: Answer Key to Machen

And, with all due respect, how can you recommend a text you've never seen?
The recommendation was from the original poster. I tried to indicate that but it seems I was a bit unclear. Sorry.

Re: Answer Key to Machen

In the archives...

There are also answers in "Study Guide for J.Greham Machen's New Testament
Greek for Beginners" by David L. Thompson. It is still in print and a VERY
helpful guide to the textbook.

1 Cor 3.5

τί οὖν ἐστιν Ἀπολλῶς; τί δέ ἐστιν Παῦλος; διάκονοι δι' ὧν ἐπιστεύσατε, καὶ ἑκάστῳ ὡς ὁ κύριος ἔδωκεν.

The final phrase needs some clarification and I'm wondering how others take it. What is the antecedent of ἑκάστῳ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hebrew OT vs LXX

Please forgive me if this question is placed in the wrong location, but I think it does bear on how we should understand a NT text when reading it. Has anyone done a study on the number of OT passages quoted in the NT with reference to how many quotes appear to be taken from the 1) Hebrew text versu...

Middle Voice with Object and without Object

I've been trying to read through the Middle/Passive voice material and just wanted to clarify a few issues: Luke 22:2b ἐφοβοῦντο γὰρ τὸν λαόν. Mark 16:8c ἐφοβοῦντο γάρ. The Luke passage is a transitive use while Mark's passage is an intransitive use. What is going on underneath the surface of the MP...

Rom 1:20 νοουμενα καθοραται which prep phrase do they modify

Can either of νοουμενα or καθοραται modify either prep phrase that immediately precedes them? Rom 1:20 τα γαρ αορατα αυτου απο κτισεως κοσμου τοις ποιημασιν νοουμενα καθοραται η τε αιδιος αυτου δυναμις και θειοτης εις το ειναι αυτους αναπολογητους For example, are any of the below eliminated syntact...

Re: Free Textual Commentary

For an interestingly brief commentary on the Greek text go to Misselbrook [http://www.misselbrook.org.uk/]. DTS' Constable [http://www.soniclight.com/constable/notes.htm] has a commentary on all books of the Bible, both OT and N. These have the text to which you make reference.
