Re: Squinting Modifiers
2. If κατακαυχᾶται is to be understood as definition #2, then the meaning of κατακαυχᾶται changes to "to glory in" and does not have to be used on a genitive.[/list] Is that right? Not quite. Here's that definition again: 2. seq. ἐν, to glory in (Za., l.c., Je 27:38).† In Romans, it is no...

Re: Squinting Modifiers
Before I can give a definitive answer as to whether James 2:13 is mercy boasting over judgment or judgment boasting over mercy, I'd need you to answer whether I interpreted the lexicon correctly with regard to κατακαυχᾶσαι and the absence of a genitive. If κατακαυχᾶσαι can switch meanings to "g...

Re: 1st Corinthians 14:14 & 19
My point did not hinge on whether ὁ νοῦς μου can be used as I implied it was being used in Philippians. My theory hinges on whether μου is requ red to be a possessive pronoun or whether it can be a normal personal pronoun. Everything hinges on that. In Modern Greek the genitive is (generally) restr...

Re: Squinting Modifiers
If you were simply desiring to tell a person to be silent, not for contentious reasons but maybe because there is a rare bird that just landed nearby, then which of the following words would you choose to use to tell them to be silent? A) σιγάω B) σιγή I would pick the verb, not the noun. What lexi...

Re: Squinting Modifiers
In relation to your initial question about post-positive conjunctions, have a look at this verse... Καὶ ἐπιστὰς ἐπάνω αὐτῆς, ἐπετίμησεν τῷ πυρετῷ, καὶ ἀφῆκεν αὐτήν· παραχρῆμα δὲ ἀναστᾶσα διηκόνει αὐτοῖς. . Looking at it in terms of left-to-right word order the παραχρῆμα "at once" could si...

Re: 1st Corinthians 14:14 & 19
John, you’ve told us in your introduction “I'm learning Koine and I know no one who knows Greek! So I need to get plugged in to a forum like this.” It would be helpful, in view of the questions you’re raising about translation, for us to have a better sense of where you are in the process of learni...

Re: 1st Corinthians 14:14 & 19
What do you think about μου being Genitive in 1st Corinthians 14:14 and verse 19 ἐὰν γὰρ προσεύχωμαι γλώσσῃ τὸ πνεῦμά μου προσεύχεται ὁ δὲ νοῦς μου ἄκαρπός ἐστιν ~1st Corinthians 14:14 Should it be translated "understanding of me" or "my understanding". We don't discuss translat...

Re: 1st Corinthians 14:14 & 19
I suggest you do two things: Look in a dictionary and see whether νοῦς means "understanding", as in the mental facility for understanding", "intellect", OR it means "understanding", as in "comprehension of input". [The English word "understand"...
