noun ˈɛːrɪstˈeɪərɪstˈeɪərəst Grammar The aorist tense. Example sentencesExamples - When the forgiveness of sins is considered, the use of the aorist tense in the Lord's Prayer makes clear that only a final (one-time only) forgiveness is sought when the Lord comes.
- The previous section points out that Koine ‘preferred the aorist passive in the case of deponents (where a real passive meaning is at best a possibility)’.
- It is only in the aorist that separate passive forms had become fully established (and to a lesser extent the future passive which is based on the aorist passive).
- In this case, the understood verb is, as noted above, an aorist active indicative denoting an action (or beginning of an action) in past time.
- It is quite intriguing to notice that the majority of these active-present, future-middle verbs have a stem change in the aorist (a second aorist form).
