<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2>Hello B-Greekers,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I am presently
working through Hebrews 11:4 to preach tomorrow (I know, but we had VBS this
week) Nonetheless, I was wondering about the EINAI following the
EMARTURHQH.&nbsp; While I do not think it affects exegesis much, is the
infinitive functioning as a direct object?&nbsp; </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I think that the
DIKAIOS is a predicate nominative.&nbsp; is the EINAI making this emphatic or is
it just a different way of formulating the sentence?&nbsp; (by the way, I
skimmed Wallace and the archives before posting this - even Lane's Word
commentary wasn't much help)</FONT></DIV>
