Grammar Uses Version

This translation was from 30 years of dedication. The source of this translation is from BYZ (Majority Text). We have included the variant readings from the Testus Receptus. A better understanding of the typing skills to highlight the grammar nuances: the underline is to show the main thought of the writer. The bold is to show the first word in the sentence for emphasis. The italics are to show word or words that are not in the Greek text but added for better reading. The word or words in (bracket) are prepositions in the Greek text. The designation of God, Christ or the Holy Spirit, the pronouns will be capitalized. Since Greek is a participle loving language, this translation will give only one use, but in the notes, other translations are mentioned to supply other possible uses.

Nouns and adjectives: nominatives are subjects of the verbs; genitives are possessions of other nouns; datives are indirect objects of the verb; and accusatives are direct objects. This is normal interpretations with these, but there are exceptions as in all other languages.

Second person personal pronoun: You (se) as Subject: thou (Singular); ye (Plural). Possession: thy (Singular); your (Plural). Direct Object: thee (Singular); you (Plural).

Verbs:

The Greek grammar does have six tenses: Present (is doing); Imperfect (was doing); Aorist which in the notes: Past (did); Perfect (have done); Pluperfect (had done); and Future (will do).

There are six modes: Indicative (normal); Participle (present: doing; aorist: having done; there is also future and perfect); Infinitive (present: to be doing; aorist: to have done); Imperative (present:
keep doing or stop doing; aorist: (do or do not); Subjunctive (present: might be doing; aorist: may do); Optative (may do with wishful thinking).

There are three voices: Active, Middle and Passive.
