Bible Question: How would I find some of the double and triple negatives in Greek sentences of the New Testament? |
Bible Answer: Rolff I know very little about Greek, just simple word studied and a little more. I am assuming from your profile that you teach at a seminary, or work at one and teach students in a Bible study setting at night. I must admit to enjoying very much to trying to figure out what you meant. So I first went hunting on the web and came up with these two examples according to the information on the site - Hebrews 13:5 Luke 22:15-18 http://www.faithfulbible.com/ However, the site off course fails to explain why these two would qualify as being double or triple negatives. I like the few features of this site however, I bookmarked it. Now, I need to ask you to please teach me why these two examples qualify as double or triple negatives, if they really do, when in English and in Greek to English translations the English grammar "concpet" of what a double or triple negative is does not appear. Thanks. blessings abound, bowler |
