Mark 9 : 48

Greek expresses the possessive analytically with article + noun + genitive pronoun (ὁ σκώληξ αὐτῶν), and the Vulgate mirrors this with vermis eorum; Syriac compresses the entire phrase into a single inflected form ܕܬܘܠܥܗܘܢ bearing the relative particle and the 3mp possessive suffix, a typical Semitic synthetic construction.

Greek τελευτᾷ ('comes to an end, dies') and Latin moritur both share the sense of dying, while Syriac ܡܝܬܐ from the root m-w-t likewise denotes dying; the renderings are semantically equivalent, though Greek τελευτάω carries a slightly broader nuance of 'cease' than the strictly mortal verbs of the versions.

Greek joins the clause with καί + article + noun (καὶ τὸ πῦρ), and the Vulgate follows with et ignis; Syriac again synthesises conjunction and noun into the single form ܘܢܘܪܗܘܢ, which additionally supplies a 3mp possessive suffix ('their fire') absent from both Greek and Latin, where the fire is anarthrously general.

Greek σβέννυται is a passive ('is quenched'), matched by Latin passive extinguitur; Syriac ܕܥܟܐ from root d-e-k is an active/intransitive form ('does not go out'), reflecting a construction shift from passive to intransitive while preserving the sense.
