Subject: To be saved must we be baptised? |
Bible Note: Greetings Tim, I'm not misunderstanding Thayer's point. The appositional phrase "be baptized each one of ye" relates to the same people as those who were commanded "repent ye." That's what an appositional phrase does. I understand his point all too well. Thayer clearly shows, contrary to what you've been asserting for two years, that HEKASTOS (each one) is used alongside the PLURAL nouns, pronouns, and verbs. As for your statement that "Thayer is not saying that a singular verb (I assume you mean 'be baptized') can take a plural pronoun as its antecendent.' No one said this. The plural pronoun is not antecedent, it follows the singular verb: baptistheito hekastos HUMON. The plural pronoun follows, no one has said it is antecedent. The antecedent of the plural pronoun is the singular verb. The singular verb is followed by HEKASTOS, emphasizing the entire YE. Acts 2:3 is a verse that follows the same pattern. The appositional phrase "it sat upon each of one them" has the singular verb, and HEKASTOS, and the plural pronoun (just as we see in Acts 2:38). This appositional phrase of Acts 2:3 corresponds to "there appeared unto them cloven tongues" having a verb 3rd person plural and plural pronoun. Same pattern as we find in Acts 2:38. The Greek is fine and the translation depicts exactly what it says in the Greek. MAIN POINT: The same group that 'tongues' appeared to are the same ones 'it lit' upon. And in 2:38, the same ones being commanded to repent and the same ones being commanded to be baptized. To others who are interested, read post 77890 and 77929 |
