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

I'm a bit confused by the verb (I hate this verb :evil: ) here:

teqnh/kasin ga\r zhtou~ntes th\n yuxh\n tou~ paidi/ou

have the jealous/envious killed the spirit of the child? it seems odd, yet to say they have been killed by the spirit of the child makes even less sense, both in the story and grammatically.
please help!

Luk 20:34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:


Luk 20:35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:


Luk 20:36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

Phl 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:


Phl 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of ...

Hello all,

I'm glad to have found this wonderful resource. As of late, I've rekindled my interest in Koine Greek, and have been going through an old textbook (An Introduction to New Testament Greek, Huber Drumwright) and was trying to work through an excersise which has stumped me. Here it is...

profh/thj profh/th| le/gei ei)rh/nhn

I get that profh/thj is Nom Sing. Subject. "Prophet."

The profh/th| is Dativ... indirect object (I'm most unsure about ...

Can anyone give me a simple translation of this verse?


34αμην λεγω υμιν ου μη παρελθη η γενεα αυτη εως αν παντα ταυτα γενηται

Ok, just two short questions...

'This is my mission, that you love each other like/because I loved you.'
Why did Saint Jerome translate it as like and not because?

and

No one has more love than this, so that anyone/someone sets his soul for his friends.

Why can't they just write proper Greek :wink: ? I know what it's suppose to be, but hina tis (+ conj.) ...

1:6

kai\ prosh=lqen pro\j au)t\n o( prwreu\j kai\ ei0=pen au)tw|=Ti/ su\ r(e/gxeij; a)na/sta kai\ e)pikalou= to\n qeo/n sou, o(/pwj diasw/sh= o( qeo\j h(ma=j kai\ mh\ a)polw/meqa.


prwreu\j doesn't appear to be in the LSJ. It's obviously some sort of ship's officer. Does anyone know more precisely?

Verse 24:

au)toi ei)/dosan ta\ e)/rga kuri/ou kai\ ta\ qauma/sia au)tou= e)n tw|= buqw=|


What is ei)/dosan ? I assume it's from o(ra/w , but I can't parse it -- and nor can Perseus!

Xai/rete pai=dej,

Holy Zeus! It's around 4am Saturday morning here in Montreal -- bad case of insomnia induced by Greek Grammar stress! So please bare with me if I'm a little incorent. :?

I have some questions about sentence patterns -- i.e., subordinate participial clauses, etc. -- and just plain grammar. For instance,

Acts 1:6: Oi( me\n ou)=n sunelqo/ntej h)rw/twn au)to\n le/gontej, Ku/rie, ei) e)n tw=| xro/nw| ...

Ku/rioj poimai/nei me, kai\ ou)de/n me u(sterh/sei

If I'm reading sedction IV of the LSJ entry correctly (http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0057%3Aentry%3D%23109734), why isn't this ou)de/n u(sterh/sw ?
