Greek NT οἱ δύο

Peshitta ܬܪܝܗܘܢ

Vulgate duo

Greek employs the article with the numeral (οἱ δύο, 'the two'), while Syriac uses the emphatic state with pronominal suffix (ܬܪܝܗܘܢ, 'the-two-of-them') and Latin uses the bare numeral (duo). All three convey definiteness through different grammatical strategies.

Greek NT εἰς σάρκα μίαν

Peshitta ܚܕ ܒܣܪ

Vulgate in carne una

Greek and Vulgate place the numeral after the noun (εἰς σάρκα μίαν / in carne una, 'into flesh one'), whereas Syriac inverts to numeral-noun order (ܚܕ ܒܣܪ, 'one flesh'). This reflects standard Semitic attributive syntax versus Greek/Latin post-positive adjective placement.

Greek NT ὥστε

Peshitta ܡܟܝܠ

Vulgate Itaque

Greek ὥστε ('so that') is rendered by Syriac ܡܟܝܠ ('therefore, now') and Latin Itaque ('therefore'). The Syriac and Latin both emphasize logical consequence more strongly than the Greek consecutive particle, though all three signal inferential transition.

construction All three attest

Greek NT οὐκέτι

Peshitta ܠܐ

Vulgate jam non

Greek uses the compound negative adverb οὐκέτι ('no longer'), Syriac employs simple negation ܠܐ ('not'), and Vulgate adds the temporal adverb jam ('already, now') to non ('not'). The Vulgate's jam non construction parallels the Greek's temporal dimension more explicitly than the Syriac.

Greek NT μία σάρξ

Peshitta ܚܕ ܒܣܪ

Vulgate una caro

Greek and Vulgate again use post-positive adjective order (μία σάρξ / una caro, 'one flesh'), while Syriac maintains Semitic numeral-first order (ܚܕ ܒܣܪ, 'one flesh'). This mirrors the earlier construction and reflects consistent syntactic preferences across the traditions.
