Search English tagged texts for Greek article rendered with possessive pronoun

[EricC]

Is there a way to search English tagged texts for the Greek article rendered as a possessive pronoun?

 

I see that in II Cor. 6:3, the translations render the article ἡ either as "the" or as "our".

"the" – KJV, HCSB, NASB

"our" – NKJV, NIV84, ESV, NET

 

2Co 6:3 (TR-Scr)   μηδεμίαν ἐν μηδενὶ διδόντες προσκοπήν, ἵνα μὴ μωμηθῇ ἡ διακονία·

2Co 6:3 (KJV)   Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:

2Co 6:3 (NIV84) We put no stumbling block in anyone’s path, so that our ministry will not be discredited.

 

How can I find other instances in an English tagged text? (I intend to search the KJV tagged text, but I think it should be possible with any tagged text.)

 

Thank you!

Eric,

It doesn't appear that any of the Strong's Bibles tag "our" as the Greek article. You could search for it like this: [KEY G3588]@"our". 

However, the NIV (84 & 11) does. You could search using the G/K number: [KEY G3836] @ "our".

 

Obviously, you can substitute the word "our" for anything else you want, like "the."

Finally, you could do a Key number search [KEY G3588] and use "Analysis" (in the analytics drop down menu) to see how the ESV (or any version) translates a specific word. Here are the results of the ESV for the Greek article:

I take that back. The HCSBS does translate the Greek article as "our."

[Rick Bennett]

Assuming that places where the article ο is translated as "our" are the instances you are looking for, then you could run this search: our@ [KEY G3588] (Strong's), or our@ [KEY G3836] (GK).

 

I ran this search in a text set of all Strong's texts, and it only returned hits in the HCSBS. I went through a couple of them, and generally speaking the article is not consistently tagged in the majority of our texts.

 

As I've said elsewhere, the NIV11-GKE is the best English text we have in terms of tagging, but even then it is not intended to represent perfectly the relationship between the translation and its underlying text. 

 

I hope this helps…

[EricC]

Thank you very much, Jordan.

 

Interesting. In the NIV2011 with G/K #s, the first hit is Matt 8:17. In that case the KJV has "our", but in italics. Therefore, I assume, it did not get tagged. This is precisely what I was looking for.

Thank you also, Rick!

 

Edit: I had "the", where I should have had "our".
