κυριε ελεησον με ι John 2:2 – hHMETERWN δε μονον This is probably a Greek 101 question, so forgive me for itssimplicity. (ι hope this hasn’t been asked a hundred times!)In ι John 2:2 we have και αυτοσ hILASMOS εστιν περι των hAMARTIWN hHMWN, ου περι TWNhHMETERWN δε μονον αλλα και…μονον, being an accusative, surprised me. ι would have thought itshould agree with hHMETERWN. Does μονον modify the wholeprepositional phrase (περι των hHMETERWN)?Also, and ι suspect this is related to the first question, whatfunction is δε performing?Could μονον be adverbial, thus giving: “He is the expiation, theonly one existing…”?Thanks for any help as παρακολουθεω φρονουντα εν TNi hELLHNIKHi.– Mike Sangreymike at sojurn.lns.pa.us
