Tagged text: finding participles and imperatives in same verse or sentence

[EricC]

I want to find all instances where there is a Greek participle in the same verse with an imperative (maybe "in the same sentence" would be better, but I think the search would get complicated).

 

What I'm actually looking for is where the participle is subsidiary to the imperative verb. For my study I'm using Scrivener's TR, but Accordance doesn't even have that text (the closest being GNT-TR/GNT-TRS -Stephanus' 1550, and it's not grammatically tagged). Nonetheless, I could make a lot of progress with another NT Greek text.

 

What I want to do is find verses like James 5:14 with imperatives such as προσευξάσθωσαν ("let them pray", "they must pray") associated with participles such as αλειψαντες ("having anointed"). I may want to narrow the search to only 3rd person imperatives or only aorist infinitives, but my initial search would be broad.

 

Is there a way to do this in Accordance? How?

 

Thank you!

There are 76 verses with this basic search:

 

 [VERB third imperative] <AND> [VERB participle] 

 

If you have the syntax modules you can get a bit more complex, but that's your basic start.

 

If you want to broaden it out, you can change the scope (hit the plus at the end of the search bar) to sentence, which gives you a few more hits.

Thank you, Douglas.

 

I don't have the NT syntax module.

 

I have GNT-T (NA27 tagged), GNT28-T (NA28 Greek NT), and USB4-T (USB4 Greek NT (Sigla)). When I put your search

 

[VERB third imperative] <AND> [VERB participle]

 

into them, I got 220 hits each. I'm not sure how you're getting only 76 – oh! I see, there are 220 hits, but in 76 vv. Great. Thanks.

 

When I restricted the participle to aorist with this:

 

[VERB third imperative] <AND> [VERB aorist participle]

 

I had 15 hits.

 

Thanks very much! Maybe I can handle it from here
