Infinitives

This study delves into the use of infinitives in ancient Greek literature, highlighting examples from the New Testament and classical texts. By parsing and translating phrases such as "qerapeu=sai" and "pisteu=sai," we reveal linguistic patterns and theological insights relevant to both historical context and contemporary interpretation. Key biblical passages are analyzed for their grammatical structure, enhancing understanding of Greek syntax and its significance in narratives about figures like Jesus and the function of the Jerusalem Temple.
