nominativs with a sg. v. (S., 5, n. 1). 19. =saei=; rel. prn. (Gr.,

157; S., 60).--=þizô=; dem. prn., not art. (S., 63).--=gataíriþ=

the second a possibility (S., 99, c): _whosoever breaks and 'should'

teach_.--=minnista=; an exceptional case of a weak adj. without the

art.--=þiudangardjai himinê=; without the art. (in the Grk. text

τῇ....τῶν).

20. =managizô= (n. compar. uzed as sb.) =izwaraizôs garaíhteins=,

_more of your righteousness than of [the righteousness of] the

scribes_.--=þau= (conj.), _than_ =...þau= (adv.), _in any case_;

=ni þau=, _in no case_.--=qimiþ in þiudangardjai=; the dativ after

=qiman in= and similar vs. of 'motion towards' is distinctivly Gothic

(S., 55). 21. =qiþan ist=; stands for the Grk. aor. (S., 87, n., c)

= imperf. in English.--=maúrþrjais=; the hort. opt. for the second

pers. fut. in Grk.--=waírþiþ=; the prs. for the Grk. fut. (S., 86,

corresponding Grk. passage: ἔνοχος ἔσται εὶς τὴν γέενναν.

23. =jabai nu baírais...gamuneis= (Gr., 200, n. 1; and 196); a

conditional sentence, the vs. of the protasis being in the opt.,

those of the apodosis in the imper. (S., 102, e).--=aibr=; s.

'Vocabulary'.--=þeins=; attributes generally follow their sb. (S.,

10, n. 2).--=ƕa=; here indef. (Gr., 162, n. 2; S., 78, n. 2). 24. Here

the apodosis begins.--=þô=; the art. is uzed, because the sacrifice

(=aibr=) is again mentiond (as =giba=) (S., 67).--=þeina=; for its

strong inflection, s. Gr. 122, n. 1.--=brôþr þeinamma=; dat. after

thou wilt be cast_. 26. =usgaggis..usgibis=; the first prs. expresses

the first, the second the past future.--=minnistan=; this word does

not exactly answer ἔσχατον (which Wulfila in other places renders by

=aftuma=, =aftumists=, =spêdiza=, =spêdists=, =spêdumists=). It is not

impossibl, however, that =kintus= ment not one particular coin (or

mezure), but any coin (or mezure) of litl value.

27. For the tenses and opt. mood, see 21, abuv. 28. =saei saíƕiþ=;

opt. necessitated by the sense, not by the conj. =jabai= (S.,

the sequence of words (without the art.) with the similar expression

(with the art.) in 29, abuv.--=þô=, _this, that_; but αὐτήν in

Grk.--=batizô ist þus ei=, etc.; the dependent clause after =batizô

ist= is sumtimes an acc. w. inf. (S., 113); =þus= is dat. of advantage

(S., 36, (4)).--=fraqistnai....gadriusai=; both optativs imply

possibility (S., 103). 31. =-uh þan=; both particls (= =þan= alone)

ar here continuativ: _but farther, also_.--=saei aflêtai qên=; opt.

in a rel. clause which does not contain a statement of the speaker,

but of sum one else (cp. verse 32, below); =qên= is less definit

here than in the following verse, where =seina= is emfatic, and =qên

seina= means as much as '_his legitimate wife_'.--=gibai=; hort. opt.

(S., 91, (2)).--=afstassais bôkôs=, _a writing_ (lit. _letters_; cp.

the Latin 'littera': 'litterae') _of divorcement_ (lit. '_standing

aflêtiþ.....taujiþ=; the vs. ar in the ind. mood, because they contain

the speaker's statements (as opposed to the preceding ones).--=izê=;

(S., 91, (2)).--=fraujin=; without the articl, when signifying _God_

=andstandan=; inf., as in verse 34.--=allis=; adverbial gen., from the

factitiv of =rign=, n., _rain_. 46. =ƕô mizdônô=; the interr. =ƕô=

agrees with the following gen. in gender.--=niu= (i. e. =ni-u=);

interr. particl.--=þai þiudô=, _the (= those) of the Gentiles_, =

_the Gentiles_; =þiudô= is gen. pl. of =þiuda=, _peple_. 47. =þans

frijônds izwarans=, _the frends (of) yours, = your frends_; =frijônds=

is sb. in form (Gr., 115) and meaning, while =þans frijôndans= stil

has its verbal force; =izwarans= is a poss. prn. acc. pl. agreeing

with =frijônds=, but =izwis= is a personal prn. acc. pl. guvernd by
