INTRO: I know that very few if any of you really care much about grammar. I do not blame you. But an understanding of grammar is one of the most important tools in Bible study. I have a grievance against English grammarians and I have often wished for some English teacher who knows a whole lot more than I do that I might go nose to nose and file my grievance on a certain grammatical point. That's how my Jewish friends do in education. I know this does not mean much to you but at least I can let off a little steam. The English grammarians, unless I missunderstand them, teach that a participle is an adjective only and cannot modify a verb (an adverb). Now I have a serious disagreement with that but I have found a good way around that supposed English rule. You see, in English that is not allowed but in Greek it is a perfectly legitimate practice. So when I come to a text like we have before us this morning I go by Greek rules not English rules. Again, I know that is mostly meaningless to you but I feel a lot better now that I have kind of vented myself against this English grammar rule.
