comment Is there any significance behind Jesus' use of the word “love” in “John 21:15-17”
@Qoheleth-Tech I have Carson's book on my shelf and never thought to reference it. Dough! Thanks for the pointer!

comment How should the Valley of Hinnom be translated?
I'm intrigued by this question, but I'm not sure I understand it entirely. You seem to answer your own question. I can definitely help you understand the terms (גהנום/גהנם / γέεννα), but I want to make sure that's what you're looking for before attempting.

comment Does John distinguish between terms for love?
Hannes, I appreciate that you are participating in this community! However, this question is specifically about two historical dialects of the Greek language and the specific Greek words in Johannine literature that are translated into English as "love." As it currently stands, this is not an answer to the question. Please consider revising your response.

@swasheck If I played on anything linguistically it would be that "being" (ὑπάρχων) in the form of God was natural (he was 'in the form of God'), while 'taking' (λαβών) the form of a slave was an active choice.

comment What are the evidences that 'morphe theou' in Philippians 2:6 means 'God's nature'?
@swasheck not particularly, just the role they play in each sentence. In v. 6 it is in the dative because of the preposition. In v. 7 it is in accusative because it is the direct object of the participle. The genitive 'slave' just modifies the object here to explain what type/kind of form was taken. Am I missing something?

As written, this question is off topic for this site. Perhaps it could be edited to resolve this?

Let me know if you want to know more about any of the works referenced in the lexicon. I have a guide to the abbreviations used; I know they are not always clear.
