1 In 'Our word to you was not ναὶ καὶ οὔ οὔ accented? It stands at the end of the clause, followed by a pause It is followed by an enclitic It negates an indicative verb It begins a question
Proclitics are accented when immediately followed by a pause, as at the end of a clause.
2 Which of these are Elusa middle subjunctive forms? Select all that apply γεύσηται γεύσῃ γευσάμενος γεύσωνται σαλεύσωμεν
γεύσηται , γεύσῃ , and γεύσωνται add σ and middle subjunctive endings. γευσάμενος is a participle and σαλεύσωμεν an active subjunctive.
3 Why is the feminine of ἰσχυρότερος spelled ἰσχυροτέρα , with α rather than η ? Comparatives use 3rd declension endings The preceding ρ calls for α The accent shifts to the ultima Feminine comparatives are not found in the NT
The suffix follows the regular -ος /α /ον pattern, with α in the feminine because of the preceding ρ .
4 A comparative always implies comparison with someone else, even when that other party is not stated. True or false True False
'Lydia is stronger' always means stronger than someone; the comparison may be implicit and clear from context.
5 What is ἑαυτοῦ ? 1s reflexive, genitive singular 2s reflexive, genitive singular 3rd person personal pronoun, genitive singular 3s reflexive, genitive singular
The 3s reflexive attaches ἑ- to αὐτός ; ἑαυτοῦ is the masculine/neuter genitive singular.
6 Why is εἰς τέλος ἠγάπησεν αὐτούς (John 13:1) considered ambiguous? Because τέλος can be either nominative or accusative Because ἠγάπησεν may be a subjunctive Because Greek outside the NT shows εἰς τέλος can also mean 'completely' Because εἰς may mean 'except'
Outside the NT (e.g. Shepherd of Hermas), εἰς τέλος means a high degree, so 'to the end' and 'completely' are both viable.
7 Which statements describe first-class conditionals? Select all that apply εἰ combines with any verb form in the indicativeThe negator is οὐ The protasis is assumed to be false The protasis must have a past tense verb They do not assert that the protasis is true
First-class conditionals use εἰ with any indicative form and οὐ , and say nothing about whether the protasis holds. Past tense and assumed falsity belong to second-class conditionals.
8 In οὐδεὶς ἔρχεται πρὸς τὸν πατέρα εἰ μὴ δι’ ἐμοῦ (John 14:6), what does εἰ μή mean? except if although whenever
With μή , εἰ means 'except,' negating all options but one.
9 In εἰ γὰρ καὶ τῇ σαρκὶ ἄπειμι (Col 2:5), what is true of the εἰ καί clause? It is assumed to be false It is a verb complement It says nothing about whether it is true It is presupposed to be true
With εἰ καί ('although'), the clause is presupposed true: Paul is indeed absent in the flesh.
10 In a second-class (counterfactual) conditional, the protasis is assumed to be true. True or false True False
In counterfactual conditionals, the protasis is assumed to be false, as in the Pharisee's εἰ ἦν προφήτης .
