News of Koine Greek And Mounce's Basics of Biblical Greek

I was reading in Matthew chapter 6:1 and saw that Jesus uses an accusative + infinitive in an indirect command after prosecho. I could not find this construction after this verb in Liddell and Scott and was wondering whether anyone had seen it before?

Hi,

I'm wondering about the understanding of μὴ δÏ￾ναται ἡ πίστις σῶσαι αá½￾τόν;

Recently I've noticed that many modern English translation render "can that faith... or "can such (a) faith..." or even "can this kind of faith..." and I'm wondering what's the grammatical basis for such translations? I've read some sources that talk about an anaphoric use of the definite article, but it would seem to me (which obviously doesn't mean much) that an anaphoric ...

Hey all

There are files of the GNT read by Marilyn Phemster available at this site (supposedly):

When I try to access the files, I receive the following message

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Can anyone tell me what is wrong? Does anyone know of ...

Hello everyone :)

In another site someone has asked for a translation of the Spanish translation of "ave Maria". While I may never do it (he hasn't given any more information and I can only assume he doesn't want a translation into modern Greek ) it got me thinking. You see the Greek "version" does not include the last part as far as I know. I'm talking ...

Hi,

I was hoping someone could help with the following.

Ἄιδης πῶς ὑποίσει, ΣῶτεÏ￾ παÏ￾ουσίαν τὴν σήν, καὶ μὴ θᾶττον συνθλασθείη σκοτοÏ￾μενος, ἀστÏ￾απῆς φωτός σου αἴγλῃ á¼￾κτυφλωθεῖς;

I'm confused by the μὴ θᾶττον συνθλασθείη -- this seems to be an optative, but I'm not entirely sure why it's an optitive or how I'm supposed to understand it. Am I right to translate it as equivalent to a future, so you have

How will Hades endure, ...

ἰÍ￾σθι εὐνοω̃ν τω̨̃ ἀντιδίκω̨ σου ταχὺ ἑÍ￾ως ὁÍ￾του εἰ̃ μετ' αὐτου̃ ἐν τη̨̃ ὁδω̨̃ μήποτέ σε παÏ￾αδω̨̃ ὁ ἀντίδικος τω̨̃ κÏ￾ιτη̨̃ καὶ ὁ κÏ￾ιτὴς τω̨̃ ὑπηÏ￾έτη̨ καὶ εἰς φυλακὴν βληθήση̨
Matt. 5:25

How is "otou" functioning within this verse? I have looked at several translations, and none of them translate it?

I'm not sure if I can ask this on this forum. If I cannot, I appologize ahead of time.

Does anybody have the full audio lectures for Basis of Biblical Greek by Mounce that they would be willing to sell? I really want the lectures but I don't wanna shell out 90 bucks for it. Thanks.

Hey all, I was wondering what people thought about this passage in Genesis 37:15 . I know it's more of a theological question, but I'm wondering about what the text implies here. I read this in Hebrew and Greek. The story seems very odd to me, and uses odd wording. In Hebrew:
.וַיִּמְצָ×￾ֵהוּ ×￾ִיש×￾, וְהִנֵּה תֹעֶה בַּשָּׂדֶה; וַיִּש×￾Ö°×￾ָלֵהוּ ×”Ö¸×￾ִיש×￾ לֵ×￾מֹר, מַה-תְּבַקֵּש×￾. "
And in Greek:
"καὶ εὗÏ￾εν αá½￾τὸν ἄνθÏ￾ωπος πλανώμενον á¼￾ν Ï„á¿· πεδίῳ· ...

I was curious what anyone's take was on the English translation of Luke 11:17b ? In Greek it reads:
"πᾶσα βασιλειÌ￾α ἐφ᾿ ἑαυτὴν διαμεÏ￾ισθεῖσα, ἐÏ￾ημοῦται, καὶ οἶκος ἐπὶ οἶκον, πιÌ￾πτει."
I translate this as "Any kingdom divided against itself will become desolate, and any house against itself will fall. (or a house against a house will fall)"

Well, Rev John Dobson M.A., B.D. Translates this as: "Every kingdon in rebellion against itself is laid waste ...
