Regarding your question about #9.....

Use the genitive case in places where we use "of" in English. Just as the word "of" may mean more than possession so may the genitive case in Greek.

Let me know what you come up with.

You have the genitive right now, but look at your nominatives. Nominative means that they are subjects of the verbs. Are the words and laws doing the writing or is the word doing the speaking? Maybe you should consider a different case for these words.

You need an accusative ending on lovgoV and #11 and #15 need the accusative ending (not vocative).

Way to post!

On the last chapter #11 and #13 you now have death in the genitive instead of accusative.

On this chapter, it looks like you are still missing the accussative case. Remember

Subject = nominative
verb = verb
object = accusative.

How would a reader know who is speaking in #3 (voice or servant)? This is not a rhetorical question. I really would like you to answer. The same goes for #5 how does the reader know who is doing the possessing (churches or peace and glory). Check the rest for a similiar trend.

About last week's 11.and 15.; if you're trying to say just 'death', with no article, it would be accusative plural, right? I think the plural makes more sense, but I'm not sure if it is correct. Confused Neutral

you have qanavtou which is genitive singular (of death) --- side note -- the accenting shifts with the long ending---

It should be qavnaton accusative singular (death -- as object of the verb)

good work


Chapter 6
#3 you don't need the verb "to be" in this sentence. You may simply put the adjective in the predicate position. Make sure the adjectives agree with the nouns which they are modifying.

#5 the objects of the verb must be in the accusative case

#9 look at my discussion with david on this one

#15 just a spelling problem with "house"

Keep it up

you translated "in the world" as dative. It should be accusative because dative implies "to" or "for" while accusative is just a plain and simple noun that is not the subject.

We decided not to make suggestions on any of your other sentences in case some other people need to make suggestions still. Also before making changes you might want to check with Mr. Schwandt that our suggestion is correct.

Sincerely,
Jonathan and Tatiana
