Mark 9 : 40

Greek γάρ and Latin enim are sentence-second postpositive connectives, while Syriac ܗܟܝܠ ('therefore/then') occupies a later slot in the clause; all three mark logical inference but the Syriac particle leans slightly more consecutive than causal.

Greek negates the copula directly (οὐκ ἔστιν) and Latin mirrors this (non est), whereas Syriac fronts the negation with relative ܕܠܐ ('who not') and supplies the perfect/copular ܗܘܐ; the Syriac construction is a periphrastic relative clause but semantically equivalent.

Greek and Latin read the first-person plural ('against us': καθ᾽ ἡμῶν / adversum vos in the Vulgate already shifts to second person), but the Syriac ܠܘܩܒܠܟܘܢ is unambiguously second person plural ('against you'); this reflects the well-known textual variation in Luke 9:50 / Mark 9:40 between ἡμῶν and ὑμῶν, with the versions split.

The Greek ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ('for us', first person) again diverges from the Syriac ܚܠܦܝܟܘܢ ('for you', second person) and the Latin pro vobis ('for you'); the person-of-pronoun variant runs consistently through both halves of the antithesis, with Greek preserving first person against the versions' second person.

Greek ἐστιν and Latin est are finite copulas, while the Syriac employs the enclitic pronoun-copula ܗܘ functioning predicatively; this is a routine construction difference rather than a semantic divergence.
