''Synopsis:'' The '''infinitive mood''' is a form of the verb. In English, an infinitive verb is expressed using the word "to" before the verb (e.g. "to destroy" = λυειν). ----__TOC__{{topics}}Infobox_Contents |topic_name = Infinitive Verbs in Koine Greek |* subtopics = [[Koine Greek: Purpose]]| opinion_pieces = {{opinionsshort_opinions}}|}}
===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".

==Lesson==
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]]
====To Express Result====
An infinitive preceded by the word [[`ωστε]] communicates that a result has been achieved. `ωστε can thus be translated as "with the result that" or "consequently".
