Mark 4 : 19

Greek uses the article αἱ with the plural noun μέριμναι; Vulgate employs the articleless plural ærumnæ; Peshitta uses ܘܪܢܝܐ (singular with prefixed conjunction), a typical Syriac idiom treating abstract mass-nouns as singular collectives.

The Peshitta omits the second coordinating conjunction καί / et before 'the deceit of riches,' instead using the prefixed waw on ܘܛܘܥܝܝ. This reflects Syriac's preference for incorporating conjunctions into the following word rather than as separate particles.

The Peshitta again omits the third coordinating conjunction καί / et, using the prefixed waw on ܘܫܪܟܐ ('and the rest') to express coordination, consistent with Syriac syntactic norms.

Greek uses the prepositional phrase αἱ περὶ τὰ λοιπὰ ἐπιθυμίαι ('the desires concerning the other things'); Vulgate mirrors this with circa reliqua concupiscentiæ; Peshitta reverses the order to ܘܫܪܟܐ ܕܪܓܝܓܬܐ ܐܚܪܢܝܬܐ ('and the rest of other desires'), placing the head noun before its modifiers in typical Semitic construct-state fashion.

The Peshitta inserts the pronominal suffix ܠܗ ('to it') before ܠܡܠܬܐ ('the word'), making the indirect object explicit. Greek and Latin use only the article + noun (τὸν λόγον / verbum) without an additional pronoun, relying on context for the object reference.

The Peshitta omits the fourth coordinating conjunction καί / et before the final clause, instead using the prefixed waw on ܘܕܠܐ ('and without') to express the coordination, maintaining its pattern of incorporating conjunctions into subsequent words.

Greek uses the single adjective ἄκαρπος ('unfruitful'); Vulgate employs the prepositional phrase sine fructu ('without fruit'); Peshitta uses the negative particle + noun construction ܘܕܠܐ ܦܐܪܐ ('and without fruit'), semantically equivalent but syntactically distinct from the Greek adjectival form.
