Greek NT καὶ
Peshitta ܕܝܢ
Vulgate Et

Greek and Latin open with the coordinating conjunction καί/Et ('and'), whereas the Peshitta uses the postpositive adversative-connective particle ܕܝܢ ('but/and now'), which it places after the fronted adverb ܠܘܩܕܡ. The functional connective force is comparable, but the Syriac nuances the link as mildly contrastive.

construction All three attest
Greek NT δεῖ
Peshitta ܥܬܝܕܐ
Vulgate oportet

Greek δεῖ and Latin oportet are impersonal verbs of necessity ('it is necessary'), whereas the Peshitta renders the obligation with the verbal adjective ܥܬܝܕܐ ('it is destined/about to be'), shifting the modality slightly toward futurity and divine appointment rather than bare necessity.

Greek NT τὸ εὐαγγέλιον
Peshitta ܣܒܪܬܝ
Vulgate Evangelium

Greek τὸ εὐαγγέλιον and Latin Evangelium employ the loan-noun 'gospel/good news', whereas the Peshitta uses the native Semitic ܣܒܪܬܐ ('good tidings/proclamation') bearing the first-person suffix ('my gospel' in some witnesses), a lexical rather than borrowed rendering of the same concept.
