[] 1 Corinthians 12:7-11 and spiritual gifts/manifestations [] Heb 6:9 KAI ECOMENA SWTHRIAS I would like to thanks all who shed some light on my previous question.The pharse “KAI ECOMENA SWTHRIAS” is translated almost uniformly as “the things that accompany salvation”.It would seem to me that the particple “ECOMENA” is being used substantively in this case, however I don’t understand why in the translation they are the things “that accompany” and why SWTHRIAS is in the genitive case. My question:Is this an idiomatic expression?If so, are there any books, preferably online, that would list all idiomatic expression in New Testament Greek.ThanksErich

[] Heb 6:9 KAI ECOMENA SWTHRIAS [] Mark 1:33 I will simply add to what Maurice has already stated that in classicalAttic the middle ECOMAI and the participle are often used in thesense,”touch upon” or “be adjacent to” with a partitive genitive complementexpressing what is touched or adjacent.At 11:01 AM +0100 7/25/03, Maurice A.
