Grammar / Voice / Passive

When a verb is in the passive voice, the subject of the verb receives the action.

Examples

  • εἰ περισσοτέρως ὑμᾶς ἀγαπῶν ἧσσον ἀγαπῶμαι
    Though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.
  • τί γάρ ἐστιν εὐκοπώτερον εἰπεῖν Ἀφίενταί σου αἱ ἁμαρτίαι ἢ εἰπεῖν Ἔγειρε καὶ περιπάτει
    For which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven;' or to say, 'Get up, and walk?'
