Mark 9 : 40

Greek γὰρ and Latin enim are standard causal conjunctions, while Peshitta uses ܗܟܝܠ (hākīl, 'therefore'), an inferential particle that shifts the logical nuance from explanation to conclusion.

Greek uses first-person plural ἡμῶν ('us'), matching the disciples' perspective in the narrative context. Peshitta and Vulgate both shift to second-person plural (ܠܘܩܒܠܟܘܢ / vos, 'you'), directly addressing the audience and altering the rhetorical stance from reported speech to direct application.

Greek and Latin place the copula clause-finally (ἐστιν / est), while Peshitta fronts the pronoun ܗܘ ('he is') for emphasis, a common Semitic topicalisation strategy.
