Re: G1096 Ginomai - meaning of the word

Thanks a lot Jonathan for the answer. It looks like you are using Strong's Lexicon here? That doesn't tell you much about the Greek word, it only tells you how the King james translated it. Read the introduction to Strong's to see what I mean. Do you have access to other Greek lexicons? Do you read...

Re: G1096 Ginomai - meaning of the word

Here's my attempt to answer the basic questions you are asking. I used Abbott-Smith and GPT to generate this, working fairly quickly - there may be errors. I hope others on this forum will look at it and correct or improve anything that needs it. γίνομαι A versatile Greek verb widely used in the New...

Re: Analytical lexicon inquiry (physical book)

I finally got around to it and it took a lot longer than I thought, but my latest offering from the Center for New Testament Restoration, “The Analytical Lexicon and Concordance of the Greek New Testament”, was published by GlossaHouse and is now available at https://glossahouse.com/products/the-an...

Re: Genitives in Revelation 11:15

I can see how this is tricky. This is a subject / predicate construction. I have marked the verb, the subject, and the predicate below: v Ἐγένετο s ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ κόσμου p τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν καὶ τοῦ χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ So why is the predicate genitive rather than nominative? Because this tells us whose kingd...

Re: The spirit of "νυν" ?

Jonathan has a good response, but perhaps it would be better to take a look at the whole attributive phrase: τοῦ νῦν ἐνεργοῦντος. I would take the participle, ἐνεργοῦντος, to be governing the νῦν. Hence: "now working," which seems to be the way that most translations take it. James Yes, I...

Re: The spirit of "νυν" ?

This is a good question - and I think context is the best way to answer it. τὸ πνεῦμα can have a range of meanings in Greek, but it has to be interpreted in context, and these two phrases seem to be parallel: κατὰ τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ κόσμου τούτου κατὰ τὸν ἄρχοντα τῆς ἐξουσίας τοῦ ἀέρος, τοῦ πνεύματος τοῦ...

Re: Where do beginners go these days?

I also find it helpful to learn words in clusters of related meaning. A prompt that can help with that - you can then decide whether to learn some of these at the same time. If you want to learn a word from this cluster, go back to the earlier messages and use those promptss to learn the new word. G...
