Question
Dennis,
Is τὸν κύριον, functioning adverbially, an accusative of general reference?
1 Thessalonians 5:27 (NA27)
Ἐνορκίζω ὑμᾶς τὸν κύριον ἀναγνωσθῆναι τὴν ἐπιστολὴν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς.
Response
Yes that’s how I code it in Grammatical Commentary, under declensional adverbial. There are numerous specialized reports in this grammatical relation. It seems simpler and more default to me to classify it that way than as double accusative, which is limited licensing. It is a GNT idiom. cf. Mark 5: 7 , Acts 19:13, 2 Thessalonians 4:1
