Help with French commentary, please (yes, it's relevant to Greek

Came across the following in the Traduction Oecuménique de la Bible in the notes on μιας γυναικος ανηρ in 1 Timothy 3. Selon les commentateurs, l’apôtre viserait l’inconduite (mais cela n’allait-il pas de soi qu’il faille s’en abstenir?), ou bien il interdirait le remariage après veuvage, ou encore ...

Re: In Romans 11:15 who is doing the refusing/accepting?

I think your sudden realization is correct, but I don't think it's a Greek issue.

Re: 2 Corinthians 1:11 - Middle semantics?

People always talk about Hebrews being the most difficult in the NT, but I also always found 2 Corinthians even more challenging You're not alone. seeing χάρισμα as an accusative of respect, εὐχαριστηθῇ as an impersonal usage, and διὰ πολλῶν as a simple prepositional phrase used adverbially, but wi...

Re: Wwho or what is the referent of αὐτῶν in Mk. 9:48

I'd guess this was a common adage with no specific antecedent. The "they" implicit in αὐτῶν would be those who enter γέεννα.

Re: ἔνδοξος and εὐδόκησεν

I’m not sure in what text you’re finding ἔνδοξος in SS 5:16. Both Swete and Rahlfs have ἐπιθυμία, ‘desire’, for מַחְמָד. (As for what the Song has to do with Jesus, that’s a theological issue.) Nor do I see in what psalm ἔνδοξος renders any form of הלל. The only occurrence of ἔνδοξος I can find in P...

Re: ἔνδοξος and εὐδόκησεν

The most obvious difference is that ἔνδοξος is an adjective while εὐδόκησεν is a verb.

The two words are related to each other in that both incorporate the root δοκ-, which has to do with thought, opinion, that sort of thing.
