Greek NT γὰρ
Peshitta ܓܝܪ
Vulgate enim

The explanatory particle (γάρ / ܓܝܪ / enim) stands second in Greek and Latin but is displaced to third position in Syriac, where ܓܝܪ characteristically follows the verb ܕܢܥܒܕ rather than the relative pronoun. The displacement is purely positional and reflects Syriac enclitic placement norms.

Greek NT ἂν ποιήσῃ
Peshitta ܕܢܥܒܕ
Vulgate fecerit

Greek expresses the indefinite condition with the modal particle ἂν plus aorist subjunctive ποιήσῃ; Syriac uses an imperfect/subjunctive ܕܢܥܒܕ without a separate particle, while Latin renders it with the future perfect fecerit. All three convey the indefinite future ('whoever shall do'), but each language deploys a distinct morphological strategy.

Greek NT τὸ θέλημα
Peshitta ܨܒܝܢܗ
Vulgate voluntatem

Greek articulates the object as τὸ θέλημα with a separate genitive following; Syriac compresses it into the construct/suffixed form ܨܒܝܢܗ ('his will') anticipating the following genitive, a typical Semitic anticipatory pronominal construction. Latin voluntatem agrees with the Greek analytic pattern.

Greek NT οὗτος
Peshitta ܗܘܝܘ
Vulgate hic

Greek and Latin use a demonstrative subject (οὗτος / hic, 'this one'); Syriac uses the emphatic pronominal copula ܗܘܝܘ ('he it is'), which simultaneously functions as demonstrative and verb 'to be', thereby also absorbing the function of Greek ἐστίν.

Greek NT ἀδελφός μου
Peshitta ܐܚܝ
Vulgate frater meus

Greek ἀδελφός μου and Latin frater meus use a noun plus possessive; Syriac ܐܚܝ encodes the first-person possessive suffix within the single word ('my brother'), an inflectional rather than analytic possession.

Greek NT ἀδελφὴ μου
Peshitta ܘܚܬܝ
Vulgate soror mea

Greek ἀδελφή μου and Latin soror mea express 'my sister' analytically; Syriac ܘܚܬܝ fuses the conjunction, noun, and first-person suffix into one form. The conjunction and the noun share the single Syriac token here.

Greek NT μήτηρ
Peshitta ܘܐܡܝ
Vulgate mater

Greek μήτηρ and Latin mater stand without a possessive in the absolute; Syriac ܘܐܡܝ again fuses conjunction plus the suffixed 'my mother', so the possessive on 'mother' is explicit in Syriac but only implied in Greek and Latin.

Greek NT ἐστίν.¶
Vulgate est

Greek closes with the finite copula ἐστίν and Latin with est; the Syriac has no separate copula here because its function was already discharged by ܗܘܝܘ earlier in the verse, a normal feature of Syriac nominal-clause syntax.
