Greek NT ὃς ἂν

Peshitta ܘܐܝܢܐ

Vulgate quicumque

Greek uses the relative pronoun ὅς with the modal particle ἄν (ὃς ἂν, 'whoever'); Latin renders this with the single indefinite relative quicumque; Syriac ܘܐܝܢܐ ('and whoever') fuses the conjunction and relative into one word, an indefinite construction without a separate modal element.

Greek NT ἐν ὑμῖν

Peshitta ܡܢܟܘܢ

Vulgate in vobis

Greek ἐν ὑμῖν and Latin in vobis express 'among you' with preposition plus dative/ablative; Syriac ܡܢܟܘܢ ('of/among you') uses the prefixed preposition ܡܢ with the enclitic second-plural suffix, a single fused word that also shifts position to follow the relative.

Greek NT εἶναι πρῶτος

Peshitta ܕܢܗܘܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ

Vulgate primus esse

All three render 'to be first', but the constituent order differs: Greek places εἶναι πρῶτος (infinitive then predicate) while Syriac ܕܢܗܘܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ uses a finite subordinate verb ('that he be') plus the adjective, and Latin primus esse inverts predicate and infinitive.

Greek NT πάντων

Peshitta ܕܟܠܢܫ

Vulgate omnium

Greek πάντων and Latin omnium are partitive genitive plurals ('of all'); Syriac ܕܟܠܢܫ ('of every man/everyone') employs the compound ܟܠܢܫ (kol-nāš, 'everyone'), a collective singular idiom rather than a plural, and follows rather than precedes the noun 'servant'.
