We hear that a brother wishes to believe.
ἀκούομεν ὅτι ἀδέλφος θέλω πιστεύειν

Do you know that they are not writing?
γιώσκετε ὅτι οὔ γράφωυοιν;

I say that you are destroying and you do not see
λέγω ὅτι σύ λύει καὶ σέ ...

Hi all,

i've been reading Matthew lately, and repeatedly i find the phrase:

o ἔχων ὦτα ἀκούειν ἀκουέτω.

(hmm... i hope that will show up alright...)

i keep wondering whether this is grammatically good Greek. I'm very much a novice still, but i wonder whether there shouldn't be an article between w)=ta and a)kou/ein, particularly the genitive 'tou='.

I've checked my dutch bible which has "oren om te horen", and seems to confirm my suspicion. ...

Thayer's has some interesting breaks in the spellings of the Greek words:

απο-δι-οριζω / επι-συν-αγω etc...

These can’t be syllabification or stem helpers, what do these breaks represent?


Thanks,

Alan

I’m trying to learn NT Greek from Clayton Croy's Primer of Biblical Greek and it turns out, there is no
answer key for the exercises. So it would be most appreciated if I could get any critiques for my translations.


γινώσκομεν ὅτι πιστεύετε καί θέλετε διδάσκειν
we know that you believe and you wish to teach.

ἀκούω καὶ βλέπω ὅτι ἀδελφὴ γράφει
I know and I see that a sister writes.

λέγεις ὅτι ἀδελφὸς λύει ...

Has anybody taken the time to make a chart of the BBG vocabulary words with the associated strongs number? It would be helpful as I'm learning the word to have a verse to associate it with.

I find that Mounce's index in the back of his book is totally lacking. I would like it to be complete (such as Smyth's index), both for Greek words and topics. Has anyone created such a thing?

The Greek for "at his birth" is epi plus genitive (epi te gennesei if transliterating can do the job). Here is the verse itself: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?se ... ersion=70;


Both the KJV and ESV have "at his birth," which to me, implies "at the time of." I'm wondering if this is in fact the meaning, or maybe, if "on account of his birth," or "because of his birth."

Are these alternatives ...

Would someone be able to comment on the subtleties of grammar in 1 John 2:19, particularly the role of the pluperfect?

Thanks,

Okay,

I'm just starting greek verbs and I have a question regarding aspect. In chapter 15, 15.17 specifically. Mounce states that..."the basic genius of the Greek verb is not its ability to indicate when.....but what type of action..., or what we call "aspect."

Then in chapter 16, specifically 16.13 he states that in the present tense..."choose the aspect which best fits the context".


My quesiton: how is that genius if I'M HAVING TO DECIED THE ...
