Mark 8 : 36

Greek uses the article τὸν with ἄνθρωπον (generic article construction); Syriac ܒܪܢܫܐ and Latin homini are anarthrous, both languages lacking the Greek article system and expressing generic reference through bare nominal forms.

Greek places the adjective ὅλον after the noun κόσμον (postpositive); Syriac ܥܠܡܐ ܟܠܗ mirrors this order with the enclitic pronoun suffix; Latin mundum totum follows the same postpositive pattern, all three traditions agreeing semantically despite minor morphological differences in how 'whole' is expressed.

Greek uses the passive infinitive ζημιωθῆναι ('to be damaged/forfeited') with accusative object τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ; Syriac employs an active construction ܘܢܦܫܗ ܢܚܣܪ ('and his soul he loses') with the verb in active voice; Latin expands to a periphrastic construction detrimentum animæ suæ faciat ('should make loss of his soul'), transforming the Greek passive infinitive into an active subjunctive with a cognate object, representing a substantive syntactic divergence while preserving the semantic core.
