Hello B-Greek,
I have been a "lurker" for quite some time now, seeing as I now have a
valid question to ask, I have decided to come out of the shadows! I have
only been studying Greek formally for about 3 years (I'm in my 6th
semester as a NT Greek Major)so please bear with me if I'm asking a
question that might seem obvious to all.
I have recently been studying Eph 5:18-21 where Paul is talking about
being spirit filled. My question is this...The four participial clauses
Paul hangs off the word PLHROUSQE, what are they doing? Are they carrying
the force of the imperative, making them nearly equvalent to an
imperative? Are they the manner in which one expresses being "Spirit
filled." Is Paul using them as four examples of what being "Spirit
filled" looks like? What exactly are these clauses doing? Any help or
insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
In Christ,
Matthew T. Williams
