no edit summary
An infinitive is purpose if it stands alone in expressing an idea of purpose. Sometimes it will be preceded by the genitive article του. See [[Koine Greek: Purpose]]
 
====In place of a noun====
 
An infinitive verb may be used in place of a noun. An example of this is found in [[Philippians 1:21]], where "το ζην χριστος" = "to live (is) Christ" and "το αποθανειν κερδος" = "to die (is) gain".

====Articular Infinitives====
* ''Time before:'' Formed with ''προ του + infinitive'' and is translated as: ''before''
* ''Time after:'' Formed with ''μετα το + infinitive'' and is translated as: ''after''
