This is probably a Greek 101 question, so forgive me for its
simplicity. (I hope this hasn't been asked a hundred times!)
In I John 2:2 we have
KAI AUTOS hILASMOS ESTIN PERI TWN hAMARTIWN hHMWN, OU PERI TWN
hHMETERWN DE MONON ALLA KAI...
MONON, being an accusative, surprised me. I would have thought it
should agree with hHMETERWN. Does MONON modify the whole
prepositional phrase (PERI TWN hHMETERWN)?
Also, and I suspect this is related to the first question, what
function is DE performing?
Could MONON be adverbial, thus giving: "He is the expiation, the
only one existing..."?
Thanks for any help as PARAKOLOUQEW FRONOUNTA EN TNi hELLHNIKHi.
