OT.filter - rwp wishing:

rwp@Romans:9:3 @{I could wish} (\uchomn\). Idiomatic imperfect, "I was on the point of wishing." We can see that \euchomai\ (I do wish) would be wrong to say. \An uchomn\ would mean that he does not wish (conclusion of second class condition). \An uchomn\ would be conclusion of fourth class condition and too remote. He is shut up to the imperfect indicative (Robertson, _Grammar_, p. 886). {Anathema} (\anathema\). See for this word as distinct from \anathma\ (offering) strkjv@1Corinthians:12:3; strkjv@Galatians:1:8f.| {I myself} (\autos eg\). Nominative with the infinitive \einai\ and agreeing with subject of \uchomn\. {According to the flesh} (\kata sarka\). As distinguished from Paul's Christian brethren.
