John 1:16
ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ πληρώματος αὐτοῦ ἡμεῖς πάντες ἐλάβομεν καὶ χάριν ἀντὶ χάριτος·
πληρώματος: ?
ελαβομεν
λαμβαν- present stem (see these different stems in MBG p. 306)
λαβ- aorist stem
ελαβ add the augment
ελαβo add the connecting vowel
ελαβoμεν add the verb ending
χάριν ἀντὶ χάριτος
?Note the prepositional phrase αντι χάριτος. grace in place of grace which means grace on top of grace or super-abounding grace.
John 1:17
ὅτι ὁ νόμος διὰ Μωϋσέως ἐδόθη, ἡ χάρις καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐγένετο.
οτι is a conjunction that usually means either “that…” or “because…”. Here it is likely the latter.
Let’s take εδοθη (from διδωμι) apart:
ε | δο- | θη | (no ending) |
augment | verb stem | tense formative | verb ending |
δια μωυσεως
The prepositional phrase δια μωυσεως is an adverbial prepositional phrase modifying εδοθη.
ἡ χάρις καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐγένετο.
