I like how you kept the word order in your initial translation for “is cut off and into fire is thrown”. I think word order is one of the benefits of knowing the original so if it’s possible to keep it in English then that is great. Once again, I am encouraged to keep going with learning Greek.

Thanks for being here. I appreciate you and believe you can do it. I am glad my videos are helpful.

Great video. Thank you so much for your help. I would recommend making the music in the intro quieter, and even just get rid of it all together (A short intro is better! 😊 ) Thanks again

[@colingr318]

I wonder if you can shed some light on a thorny question? Some scholars are reading 1 Cor. 15:35 as follows, due to the *Present* Indicative Middle or Passive Greek verb: But first we post the original KJV rendering... 1Co 15:35 But some man will say, How are the dead *raised* up? and with what body do they *come?* (I understand this as speaking of the future) But they read it like this: But some man will say, How are the dead BEING RAISED UP? and with what body ARE THEY COMING? They then claim that the last trumpet resurrection of the dead from out of Hades was already taking place as Paul was writing that epistle. This does not sound right. It sounds as if they are reading it as an Present Active verb.

[@GreekForAll]

Great question. I can assure you that the resurrection Paul is talking about is still a future event. Unfortunately some know little of Greek grammar and syntax, thus they come up with weird ideas. In addition, the Biblical teaching on resurrection is pretty clear that it will be a future event. I think I will make a video answering your question, but here is a brief reply: The time of Greek verbs is secondary, while aspect is primary (it’s advanced Greek, so don’t worry about it). What it means is that the present may be used to describe past, present, future, and even timeless events. You can learn more on this in Daniel Wallace’s Syntax of Biblical Greek. In 1Cor 15:35, it is, I think, a timeless present indicating a general truth without reference to time. It is similar if I say: “God raises the dead or God heals.” It is who God is. He always heals and raises the dead: in the past, present, and future. Or we could say, “God blesses the righteous.” Not just right now but always. The same applies to 1Cor 15:35.

[@colingr318]

@@GreekForAll Thank you so much for such a timely and helpful answer. And btw, the "scholars" who are teaching the 'already and ongoing resurrection of the dead' in 1 Cor. 15, at the time of it's writing, are what I call Hyper Preterist's, although they prefer to just call themselves Full Preterist's. I am in the process of refuting their false teachings. May I ask if Greek is your mother tongue?

[@GreekForAll]

@@colingr318 my mother tongue is Russian and Ukrainian, which originated from the Greek. We share a lot of grammar, phrase structures, and other elements.

Hello, can you explain the word: φαρμακεία since Revelation 18:23 tells us this is how all nations are deceived.

[@herbhansen2929]

Is there something amiss with the Flash Card app? The same 10 words keep recycling whether I try nouns or verbs. Love your short tutorials.

[@GreekForAll]

There should not be any errors in this regard. The app circulates 10 words from the bigger list until you learn some and click "GOT IT", then the app adds 5 more words and you will circulate another 10. It's called spaced repetition. Just click "Got it" 6 times, and see if the app adds new set of words. If I misunderstood the problem, please email me at stan @ greekforall dot com If you could provide screenshots or a video, it would help more. Thanks. Let me know.

[@jessedutch3086]

Hi, I just came across your channel and am interested in your app. I started with koine greek 6 months ago and need to up my vocab. I would like to keep building on my koine pronunciation and not get mixed with other dialects. Will I be safe using the app? Thanks in advance.

[@GreekForAll]

My vocabulary app offers the Erasmus pronunciation (the most common in theology schools and seminaries). If you need Modern Greek pronunciation then my app is not going to be helpful.

[@jessedutch3086]

[@miklosnemeth8566]

0:55 In every (French, Slavic) languages it is called reflexive voice or verb, why not use that term?

[@GreekForAll]

Great observation. I didn't create the terminology, so I guess the question should be redirected to the linguists and grammarians. In Greek, the term "reflexive" is used for reflexive pronouns "myself" "yourself" "himself" and etc.

ok I just don't get why Documentary Hypothesis continues to show up after it has be debunked 15 well at the time of the narrative the writing at the time of the narrative would it have been I mean it would have largely been tribes and city-states this at least according to the original documentary hypothesis is a yahwist meaning I realize it's not that simple but I'm just general which would have been written in the southern Kingdom at some point so to them the land of the northeastern people it seems a little vague and hand wavy the way you do when you're mythologizing something Aron Ra (not sure what passage he is talking about) ok I realize this is isn't a greek concern but studying greek makes you aware of many of the side roads language and translation of the bible has taken

[@raysalmon6566]

Aron Ra and his blind rampage.... because it's in a book or compilation of books that are purported to be the word of God even though everybody knows that every book of the Bible was written by men men who lie so what does that mean about God does God lie _________________________ ok well, obviously an unsupported assertion. but AR also refers greek and Hebrew text but has a very butchered exegesis. one the main reasons for studying greek is learn how we got the New Testament ΠΡΟΣ ΕΒΡΑΙΟΥΣ 12:2 SBL Greek New Testament 2 ἀφορῶντες εἰς τὸν τῆς πίστεως ἀρχηγὸν καὶ τελειωτὴν Ἰησοῦν, ὃς ἀντὶ τῆς προκειμένης αὐτῷ χαρᾶς ὑπέμεινεν σταυρὸν αἰσχύνης καταφρονήσας, ἐν δεξιᾷ τε τοῦ θρόνου τοῦ θεοῦ κεκάθικεν.
