Matthew Chapter 5 Verse
4
μακάριοι
οἱ πενθοῦντες,
ὅτι αὐτοὶ
παρακληθήσονται
blessed
those who are mourning for they will be comforted
noteworthy
features
both
verbs are εω verbs whose stems end in an e so they follow this
contraction pattern ε + ω = ω ε + ει(ς) =εῖ(ς) ε + ο =
οῦ etc.
πενθέω
lament mourn grief here in 3rd person plural participle
form
παρακληθήσονται
is the future passive 3rd person plural of παρακαλέω
the
same verb from which paraklete and para kleetos derive
summon
call to help encourage exhort
however
receiving help from the divine does not excuse us from our human
obligations to try and help others so remember what is written in James
about faith and works.
