Some Interesting Parts of Greek

There are many more details of Greek which are necessary to full Greek mastery

We will just briefly go over some of the features I find exegetically interesting


Moods

Only 2 basic moods reality and potential

Indicative is the only reality mood Subjunctive Optative and Imperative


Subjunctive Mood

The mood of potential Deals within the mind of the speaker Time is questionable possibly

irrelevant a tendency toward future time


Optative

Mood of remote possibility While the subjunctive has an

ldquoanticipation of realizationrdquo the optative has ldquono anticipation of realizationrdquo but it is still conceivable

Used to express a wish or desire 1 Thess 311-12


Imperative Mood

Commands Expresses action which is realized by

the exercise of the will of one person upon that of the other

For the Greek this is the farthest mood from reality

1 Pt 113


Prohibition

Expressed by present imperative w

mh Implies stop what you are now doing

Expressed by aorist subjective w

mh Implies donrsquot even begin


Perfect Tense

Meaning completed action with an emphasis on resultant state of being

Permanence Implies a process but looks at

process as completed in a perfect state

Lk 2446 (and many others) ldquoIt stands writtenrdquo
