Reflexive Pronouns in New Testament 47 But in both of these cases, it turns out that in fact although the verb is truly passive, the object and agent of the action are the same. In the following examples the trigger is the subject of the verb, but not the agent of the action. 1 Cor 6:19 ouk ejste; eJautw'n. j not you-are of-yourselves. You are not your own. Heb 12:3 analogisasqe ga;r to;n j v toiauvthn uJpomemenhkovta consider for the (masc. acc.) such (fem. acc.) one-who-endured (masc. acc.) upo; tw'n aJmartwlw'n eij~ eJauto;n ajntilogivan. J by the sinners against himself hostility (fem. acc.). For consider the one who endured such hostility by sinners against himself. 10 In this last example the semantic agent of action upon the reflexive is not the trigger of the reflexive. Rather the trigger is the surface structure subject of the clause. We may therefore provisionally conclude that the trigger of a reflexive pronoun must be the surface structure subject of the clause regardless of the agent. Reciprocal pronouns behave slightly differently. In most cases their trigger is the subject of their clause. But in one case the trigger of the reciprocal is the direct object of the clause in sentence initial position and semantically the agent of the action reciprocated. 1 Thess 3:12 uma~ de; oJ kuvrio~ pleonavsai kai; perisseuvsai th'/ agaph J` jv you but the Lord cause-to-increase and cause-to-abound in-the love ei~ ajllhvlou~ kai; eij~ pavnta~ ... j for one-another and for all ... But may the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love for one another and for all. This seems to suggest that being the agent may increase the capaci- ty of a NP to trigger a reciprocal. In this context uJma`~ (‘you’) seems to be fronted because it is mildly contrasted with hJmw'n (‘of us’) in the preceding sentence. Paul has stated a wish for himself, and here he states a wish for the Thessalonians. Therefore, the trigger is also the topic of the sentence. Once, the genitive pronoun is the trigger of a re c i p r o c a l . 10 This example might also be called an indirect reflexive. Again my later discussion will show that this is not the case.
