why miniscule? why miniscule? Hello all,I am trying to better understand Rom 1:16: “OU GAR EPAISCHUNOMAI TO EUANGELION DUNAMIS GAR THEOU ESTIN EIS SOTERIAN PANTI TO PISTEUONTAI IUDAIO TE PROTON KAI hELLENI.”I have always thought that EUANGELION was the subject. Why is”EUANGELION” in the Accusative? Is “DUNAMIS” the subject? Is thesubject in “EPAISCHUNOMAI”? And lastly what is the antecedent of “ESTIN”? Thank you in advance.God bless,Glen Naftaniel

why miniscule? Romans 1:16 GlenHere is my understanding. Sometimes I goof up hereand there, so hopefully someone will correct me ifI am incorrect.——->I am trying to better understand Rom 1:16: “OU GAR EPAISCHUNOMAI TO>EUANGELION DUNAMIS GAR THEOU ESTIN EIS SOTERIAN PANTI TO>PISTEUONTAI IUDAIO TE PROTON KAI hELLENI.”———>I have always thought that EUANGELION was the subject. Why is>“EUANGELION” in the Accusative?——(This is rather insignificant, but above you say “to betterunderstand.” That is a split infinitive. It’s best to avoid those.)Now, to your questions:The gospel is what Paul is not ashamed of. The subject is “I” whichyou see in the verb’s first person singular, OMAI.I am not ashamed of what? The gospel. Hence, the gospel isin the accusative.Is “DUNAMIS” the subject?No. See below.Is the>subject in “EPAISCHUNOMAI”?Yes, as stated above. (It’s the subject of 16a)And lastly what is the antecedent of>“ESTIN”? Thank you in advance.The gospel.I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it (the gospel)is the power (predicate nominative, agreeing with “it.”)Hope that helps.Mark Wilson_________________________________________________________________Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com

why miniscule? why miniscule? Hello -I think I understand most of what is going on in this verse except why it can’t be translated:For I am not ashamed of the gospel[.] For the power of God is “to the end of” salvation..etc.i.e. why isn’t DUNAMIS QEOU simply the subject of ESTIN thus making 16[b] independent of 16[a]? why is ESTIN necessarily connected to EUAGGELION?thanks,Jack Stewart>From: c stirling bartholomew <cc.constantine at worldnet.att.net>>Reply-To: c stirling bartholomew <cc.constantine at worldnet.att.net>>To: Biblical Greek < at franklin.oit.unc.edu>>Subject: [] Re: Romans 1:16>Date: Thu, 04 Apr 2002 19:29:27 -0800> >on 4/4/02 7:17 PM, Glen L Naftaniel wrote:> > > I am trying to better understand> >ROM. 1:16 OU GAR EPAISCUNOMAI TO EUAGGELION, DUNAMIS GAR QEOU ESTIN EIS>SWTHRIAN PANTI TWi PISTEUONTI, IOUDAIWi TE PRWTON KAI hELLHNI.> >> > I have always thought that EUANGELION was the subject.

Could we perhaps be a bit less particular with eachother’s English grammar? After all, this is a Greek discussion list, not anEnglish discussion list. And besides that, the notion that the infinitiveshould not be “split” is a Romance language rule (it is in fact impossibleto split a Latin or Greek infinitive, since it consists of a single verbrather than the pariphrastic form of English) that English teachers trainedin the classics tried to impose on the English language. English is not aRomance language, but a Saxon language.glenn blankPensacola FL

Finegan, Hidden Records 2 Co 1:5 Displacement in Chiasm? Dear Mark and all,Thank you for your response to my questions regarding Romans 1:16 (andfor correcting my English). I have learned more about English bystudying Greek than I did studying English in school. If I may ask twomore questions regarding Romans 1:16 I would appreciate it. Rom 1:16: “OU GAR EPAISCHUNOMAI TO EUANGELION DUNAMIS GAR THEOU ESTIN EIS SOTERIAN PANTI TO PISTEUONTAI IUDAIO TE PROTON KAI hELLENI.”1. I asked– “What is the antecedent of ESTIN?” Mark said– “The gospel.” “I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it (thegospel) is the power (predicate nominative, agreeing with “it.”)”Q’s– 1) How do we know that the power (DUNAMIS) is the predicatenominative and 2) that ESTIN refers back to EUAGGELION? Thank you in advance. God bless,Glen Naftaniel

For God’s power is….”As you can see, this doesn’t work since there is no completepredicate. More specifically:For God’s power is ___________ resulting in salvation…And attempting to understand “is ________” as “is it (the gospel)…”will not work since that would require ESTIN to function as thepredicate nominative, which I would think has no such usagein the GNT.So, I think the only option is “I am not ashamed of the gospel,for it [TO EUANGELION] is God’s power…”BTW, I was really just having fun with the “split infinitive.”Sorry for getting some of us off track.Mark Wilson_________________________________________________________________Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com

If we understand the subject as “it” then it can have an antecedent. As to the question of what the antecedent of “it” is, I would say TO EUAGGELION because even though it is accusative as it appears as the dir. obj. of EPAISCHUNOMAI, it can be the antecedent of the understood subject of ESTIN for pronouns agree with their antecedents in gender and number but their case is determined by their function within the clause. If DUNAMIS were the subject of ESTIN, I think it would likely have the article hH in front of it especially when followed by the genitive QEOU.Carlton WinberyLouisiana College

If we understand the > subject as “it” then it can have an antecedent. This caught my attention primarily because of thewording.I know it is true in “English” that verbs to dohave antecedents. But I have noticed that Greekfinite verbs are completely different animals thanthe English variety.ESTIN is not “is” but “he/she/it is”. And, at leastin English, he/she/it is a pronoun and ALWAYS hasan antecedent, even if it is an implied one. My Greek teacher uses the expression that “a finite verb agrees with its subject/noun”.Technically speaking, Carlton, is your statement “ESTIN is a verb and does not have an antecendent” anEnglish statement or a Greek one? It seems to me thatevery Greek verb has a Person (1st, 2nd, 3rd) attachedto the ending, and therefore every Greek verb has anantecedent.Waldo SlusherCalgary, AL__________________________________________________Do You Yahoo!?Yahoo!

Have you ever read any of Chomsky’s other stuff(non-linguistic)? Anyway, that is off topic.I don’t remember saying that verbs have antecedents. But when someone asksWhat is the antecedent of ESTIN in Rom. 1:16? I have no troubleunderstanding the question. They want to know what the anaphoric pronominalsuffix of the verb points to in the previous context. If you don’t want tocall this an antecedent that is OK by me. I didn’t suggest this use of theterm. Just answered the question.Some of us with defective formal educational backgrounds (i.e., no formaltraining in Greek or Latin) tend to play fast and loose with theterminology. This drives the veteran professors up the wall but we can’thelp it. We don’t know any better.greetings,Clay– Clayton Stirling BartholomewThree Tree PointP.O.

All Greek finite verbslook like this: (verb + PERSON).The “verb half” of a Greek verb AGREES with its noun; the”person half” AGREES with the same noun. I really don’tknow if “person” has an ANTECEDENT in Greek.I think you might be viewing the Greek finite verb somethinglike this: (verb + PRONOUN). That may be your problem. ChangePRONOUN TO PERSON and then begin your research.My thoughtsMark Wilson_________________________________________________________________Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
