G3588–ὁ–ho

So on every possible occasion I will also do my best to enable you to recall these things after my departure.

τὴν tēn “<the>”τὴν tēn “<the>”

For when we made known to you the power and Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not eagerly following cleverly devised legends, but we had been eye-witnesses of His majesty.

τὴν tēn “the”τοῦ tou “of the”τῆς tēs “<the>”

He received honour and glory from God the Father, and out of the wondrous glory words such as these were spoken to Him, "This is My dearly-loved Son, in whom I take delight."

τῆς tēs “the”ὁ ho “The”ὁ ho “<the>”

And we ourselves heard these words come from Heaven, when we were with Him on the holy mountain.

τὴν tēn “<the>”τῷ tō “the”τῷ tō “<the>”

And in the written word of prophecy we have something more permanent; to which you do well to pay attention--as to a lamp shining in a dimly-lighted place--until day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

τὸν ton “the”ταῖς tais “the”

for never did any prophecy come by human will, but men sent by God spoke as they were impelled by the Holy Spirit.

οἱ hoi “<the>”

But there were also false prophets among the people, as there will be teachers of falsehood among you also, who will cunningly introduce fatal divisions, disowning even the Sovereign Lord who has redeemed them, and bringing on themselves swift destruct

τῷ tō “the”τὸν ton “the”

And in their immoral ways they will have many eager disciples, through whom religion will be brought into disrepute.

ταῖς tais “<the>”ἡ hē “the”τῆς tēs “of the”

Thirsting for riches, they will trade on you with their canting talk. From of old their judgement has been working itself out, and their destruction has not been slumbering.

τὸ to “the”ἡ hē “the”

For God did not spare angels when they had sinned, but hurling them down to Tartarus consigned them to caves of darkness, keeping them in readiness for judgement.

ὁ ho “the”

But when righteous Lot was sore distressed by the gross misconduct of immoral men He rescued him.

τῆς tēs “the”τῶν tōn “of the”

(For their lawless deeds were torture, day after day, to the pure soul of that righteous man--all that he saw and heard whilst living in their midst.)

ὁ ho “that”

and especially those who are abandoned to sensuality--craving, as they do, for polluted things, and scorning control. Fool-hardy and self-willed, they do not tremble when speaking evil of glorious beings;

τοὺς tous “those”

But these men, like brute beasts, created (with their natural instincts) only to be captured or destroyed, are abusive in matters of which they are ignorant, and in their corruption will perish,

τῇ tēa “the”

being doomed to receive a requital for their guilt. They reckon it pleasure to feast daintily in broad daylight. They are spots and blemishes, while feeding luxuriously at their love-feasts, and banqueting with you.

τὴν tēn “<the>”ταῖς tais “the”

Forsaking the straight road, they have gone astray, having eagerly followed in the steps of Balaam, the son of Beor, who was bent on securing the wages of unrighteousness.

τὴν tēn “the”τῇ tēa “in the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τοῦ tou “<the>”

But he was rebuked for his transgression: a dumb ass spoke with a human voice and checked the madness of the Prophet.

τὴν tēn “the”τοῦ tou “of the”

These people are wells without water, mists driven along by a storm, men for whom the dense darkness has been reserved.

ὁ ho “<the>”τοῦ tou “<the>”

For, while they pour out their frivolous and arrogant talk, they use earthly cravings--every kind of immorality--as a bait to entrap men who are just escaping from the influence of those who live in error.

τοὺς tous “those”τοὺς tous “from those”

And they promise them freedom, although they are themselves the slaves of what is corrupt. For a man is the slave of any one by whom he has been worsted in fight.

τῆς tēs “<the>”

For if, after escaping from the pollutions of the world through a full knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, people are once more entangled in these pollutions and are overcome, their last state has become worse than their first.

τὰ ta “the”τοῦ tou “of the”τοῦ tou “of the”τὰ ta “the”τῶν tōn “than the”

For it would have been better for them not to have fully known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandments in which they were instructed.

τὴν tēn “the”τῆς tēs “<the>”τῆς tēs “the”

Their case is that described in the true proverb, "A dog returns to what he has vomited," and also in the other proverb, "The sow has washed itself and now goes back to roll in its filth."

τὸ to “the [thing]”τῆς tēs “of the”τὸ to “<the>”

This letter which I am now writing to you, dear friends, is my second letter. In both my letters I seek to revive in your honest minds the memory of certain things,

τὴν tēn “<the>”

so that you may recall the words spoken long ago by the holy Prophets, and the commandments of our Lord and Saviour given you through your Apostles.

τῶν tōn “the”τῶν tōn “the”τῆς tēs “of the”τῶν tōn “<the>”τοῦ tou “of the”
