18 David I. Yoon 2) Mood. Since this discourse is Paul recounting the events surrounding his post-conversion experience, what may be called a narrative text, the primary mood choice is the indicative. Since a preliminary analysis of the verbs in this section has been shown already, it will be unnecessary to point out every instance of an indicative mood-form, but simply the instances were Paul deviates to a non-indicative mood-form. The first, and only, instance where Paul uses a non-indicative mood- form in this section is 1,16 (as indicated above), where after Paul has made the case that the gospel he preaches is not of man but directly of God, he states the purpose of his calling: that he “might preach” (εὐαγγελίζωμαι) to the Gentiles, using a subjunctive mood-form. As noted in the aspect analysis above, this word is already prominent due to its present tense- form (imperfective aspect). Among the various activities described in this discourse, from discussing his former way of life of persecuting the church to God’s calling of him, he chooses to emphasize his preaching of the gospel here. The subjunctive mood grammaticalizes “a projected realm which may at some time exist and may even now exist, but which is held up for examination simply as a projection of the wrier or speaker’s mind for consideration”69, and is often used in conditional clauses as this one (e.g., ἵνα εὐαγγελίζωμαι). However, this is not a conditional clause— it is actually a purpose clause with the subordinate conjunction ἵνα that usually takes a verb in a subjunctive mood-form70. Thus, the normal pattern for a purpose clause is evident, but εὐαγγελίζωμαι may still be regarded as prominent due to its aspectual feature71. 3) Voice. As in the above section on mood, it is unnecessary to note all the instances where Paul uses an unmarked element, e.g., the active voice, since this is expected. Thus, I will identify the non-active voice choices of Paul to see what sort of prominence might be suggested in these cases. The first instance of a non-active voice form occurs in v. 11, where Paul describes the gospel that “was preached” (τὸ εὐαγγελισθὲν) by him. This is a passive mood-form to make τὸ εὐαγγέλιον the subject of the verb and make the subject prominent. The next non-active voice-form is in v. 12, where the subject is still τὸ εὐαγγελισθὲν; Paul states he did not receive it from others, nor was he taught it (ἐδιδάχθην). He could have said something like οὔτε μηδείς ἐδίδαξεν (“nor did anyone teach it to me”) with the active voice, but to keep the subject as τὸ εὐαγγελισθὲν, he uses the passive.
