Mark 10 : 18

Greek opens with the articular subject plus the postpositive connective δέ (Ὁ δὲ), and the Vulgate renders the connective with autem. The Peshitta omits any connective particle entirely, beginning paratactically with the verb ܐܡܪ, a stylistic feature typical of Syriac narrative.

Greek λέγεις and Latin dicis are synthetic present indicatives carrying the second-person subject within the verbal morphology. The Peshitta uses the participle ܩܪܐ ('call') with the independent pronoun ܐܢܬ as an enclitic subject marker, a periphrastic Syriac construction; the choice of the root q-r-a ('call/name') rather than 'say' is also a slight lexical nuance.

Greek substantivises the negation with οὐδείς ('no one'), and Latin matches with nemo. The Peshitta uses the existential negator ܠܝܬ ('there is not'), restructuring the clause as 'there is none good' rather than 'no one is good' — an equivalent sense via a different syntactic frame.

Greek expresses the exception with the two-word idiom εἰ μή ('except'), and the Peshitta likewise uses two particles ܐܠܐ ܐܢ. The Latin compresses this into the single conjunction nisi, an idiomatic one-for-two correspondence.
