| 115 | Let's break down the components of the Greek phrase "οὐ μὴ πίω αὐτό" (ou mē piō autó):
- "οὐ" (ou): This is a negation particle in Greek, indicating "not."
- "μὴ" (mē): This is another negation particle, often used for stronger negation or prohibition. In combination with "οὐ," it reinforces the negation.
- "πίω" (piō): This is the first-person singular aorist subjunctive active form of the verb "πίνω" (pinō), which means "to drink."
- "αὐτό" (autó): This is a pronoun meaning "self/itself."
So, putting it all together:
- "οὐ μὴ" (ou mē): "not ever" (strong negation)
- "πίω" (piō): "I drink" (subjunctive form)
- "αὐτό" (autó): "self"
This, the phrase "οὐ μὴ πίω αὐτό" (ou mē piō autó) translates to "I will not drink it" or "no I will not drink." There is no interrogative in this verse. There is a strong negation. |
