As a way to prepare for Easter, I invite you to join me on a 58 day journey through the 58 verses of 1 Corinthians 15 in Greek. At this point, there will no longer be any videos or PowerPoint PDFs, though I may finish those at some later time in the future.

1 Corinthians 15:45

45 Thus also it has been written, “The first person, Adam, is a living person,” the last Adam (is) a life-giving Spirit.

οὕτως – adv. referring to what precedes it.

καὶ – additive/adjunctive conj. [W671]. Adverbial use of καί (“also”).

γέγραπται· – impl. subj. and main verb [perf-pass-ind-3-s-γράφω].

ἐγένετο – main verb [aor-mid/dep-ind-3-s-γίνομαι]. Acts as a copular verb [W47-48].

ὁ πρῶτος ἄνθρωπος – nom. subj. with an ordinal adj.

 Ἀδὰμ – nom. in simple apposition to the subj. [W48-49].

εἰς ψυχὴν ζῶσαν, – pred. nom. εις + acc. can function as the pred. nom. with the verb γίνομαι, ειμί, and λογίζομαι [W47-48]. ζῶσαν is anarth-adj-attr-ptc [pres-act-ptc-fem-sg-acc-ζάω]. Normally, anarthrous ptcs. are adverbial, but here it is adjectival [W617-19].
