Greetings, 2 Corinthians 13:5: Εαυτους πειραζετε ει εστε εν τη πιστει EAUTOUS PEIRAZETE EI ESTE EN TH PISTEI Every translation I have access to online since my Bible Works has been down, translates this passage with something to the effect of “test yourselves to see if you are in the faith.” It seems to me…

“O DE AGRIPPAS PROS TON PAULON, EN OLIGWi ME PEIQEIS CRISTIANON POIHSAI” (Acts 26:28). My question is, what are the reasons for reading (and punctuating) this as a statement, as opposed to a question? As I read it again just now, both Agrippa’s words to Paul and the context seemed to suggest to me the…

I’m translating Rev 21:5 and the word καθήμενος is giving me some trouble. The parsing code for this word is pt.pm.nsm (participle.present middle.nominative singular masculine). I would form this word as follows: καθη + ο + μενο + ς So my question is: why doesn’t the η + ο contract to ω? thank-you for your…

[bible passage=”Romans 3:3″] PISTIS vs PISTOS I don’t believe there is a separate Greek word for “faithfulness” in the N.T.; at least I don’t see one. That being said, it would seem to me that if Paul or any other N.T. author intended for an existing word like PISTIS or PISTOS to be used to…
[bible passage=”Romans 16:1″] Greetings to all: I’ve been wandering recently, about the use of the word “deacon” (noun masc. sing.) in Romans 16:1-2 in reference to Phoebe who was a woman. How common of usage that was in the Biblical Greek language? Does it stand out as wrong or was it commonly applied that way?…
1 Corinthians 11:33 Dear list, CAIREIN I am trying to look at I Cor. 11:33 from every angle. If we focus on the infinitive, what is the purpose of EIS TO with purpose infinitive in this verse? I was admonished by one grammar to not forget Meyer’s dictum that EIS with the articular…
[bible passage=”Matthew 11:12″] David Stern adds to this natural understanding by stating that not only was it a physical assault but a spiritual one (demons), as well. But this only supersaturates an already bloated teaching. He writes, ‘The Greek is difficult. As rendered, it means that violent ones (demons and their human vehicles) are trying…

Let me add a bit to the discussion form the perspective of semantics and being a translator. In the African language I have worked with the most, we need to use three difference words to translate PISTEUW, depending on the semantics and context. One word entails complete trust in a person. The other means to…

BDAG 3rd edition offers the definition ‘open-minded’ for εὐγενής in Acts 17:11, ουτοι δε ησαν ευγενεστεροι των εν θεσσαλονικη οιτινες εδεξαντο τον λογον μετα πασης προθυμιας το καθ ημεραν ανακρινοντες τας γραφας ει εχοι ταυτα ουτως.
