The New Testament Greek Lexicon | Strong's Number: 5755 | Tense, Voice and Mood |
| Word Tense | | | Second Perfect
The second perfect is identical in meaning to that of the normal or "first" perfect tense, and has no additional effect on English translation. The classification merely represents a spelling variation in Greek.
See 5778
| | Word Mood | | | Infinitive
The Greek infinitive mood in most cases corresponds to the English infinitive, which is basically the verb with "to" prefixed, as "to believe."
Like the English infinitive, the Greek infinitive can be used like a noun phrase ("It is better to live than to die"), as well as to reflect purpose or result ("This was done to fulfil what the prophet said").
