Greek article differences
Greek uses the (definite) article, but English doesn’t, in the following cases:
- abstract nouns (e.g. ἡ ἀγαπη - love)
- names of persons (e.g. ὁ Πετρος - Peter)
- ὁ θεος - God
Greek vocative rules
- Usually vocative = nominative
- With 2nd declension masculine nouns like λογος, the vocative singular has an –ε ending
(e. g. Πετρε, βλεπω τον κυριον. - Peter, I see the Lord.) - With 1st declension masculine nouns like προφητης, the vocative singular has an –α ending
(e. g. Ἰουδα, βλεπω τον κυριον. - Judas, I see the Lord.) - The vocative of Ἰησους is Ἰησου
