In the following it will be suggested that the original reference of the Parable of the Vineyard and the Wicked Husbandmen was to John the Baptist, and argued that in Matthew's Gospel it belongs to what was once a sequence of stories and sayings about him. This ‘Baptist-sequence’ derives from a common source anterior to all the Synoptic gospels in their received forms, which may have been a Proto-Matthew.
Interpreters of Paul have expressed no doubt until the present era that Paul's viewpoint on sexual intercourse is articulated in 1 Cor. 7.lb: καλòνανθρωπωγυναικòς μń âπт*σθαι This association of the most outstanding Christian theologian with sexual asceticism has caused significant repercussions in Western culture. But now there is much uncertainty as to whether the apostle was: (a) asserting his position in his own words; (b) quoting a slogan of some Corinthians that he accepted; or (c) quoting a Corinthian slogan that he rejected. In this essay a sampling will be given of these major interpretive positions and an argument in favour of the third will be presented.
In spite of the amount of writing about grammatical questions on NT Greek, it is not superfluous to develop and to document some of these subjects whose extension exceeds the limits of handbooks of Morphology and Syntax.

Kilpatrick and it tries, by its exhaustiveness, to determine what hitherto could only be the fruit of an intuition based on partial or sample studies.
Discussion of the meaning of σκєυ>ος in 1 Thess. 4. 4 has traditionally centred on two possible connotations, ‘body’ and ‘wife’ (cf. respectively, B. Rigaux, Les Epitres aux Thessaloniciens, 1956, pp. 503–7; E. Best, The First and Second Epistles to the Thessalonians, 1972, pp. 160–5).
