13.1 | Travis Wright Patrick Henry College, Purcellville, VA, USA I examine the grammar of Matt 1:25 and argue there is an
obligatory scalar inference meaning ‘after but not before.’ I conclude
the grammar of Matt 1:25 contradicts the view that Mary remained a
virgin after the birth of her son. Keywords: Matt 1:25, perpetual virginity, ἕως, postclassical Greek,
