γὰρ [205 verses](partic) "For" comes from gar which is the introduction of a clause explaining a reason or explanation: "for," "since," and "as." In an abrupt question, it means "why" and "what." --The word translated as "for" introduces a reason or explanation so "because" and, in questions, "why." "For" is better because another common word is also used for "because." Jesus frequently uses it at the beginning of a verse when answering questions. It also begins lines when Jesus seems to change the subject, which indicates that someone asked an unrecorded question. Because of this, it is often left out of English translations.

This area may have been originally where children were sacrificed to Baal, and Baal (Beelzebub, "lord of the flies"), Jesus's personification of evil. See this article for more.  CW --Confusing Word -- The "hell" does not capture the word's specific meaning.

It includes laughing at people and deriding them. Its use is entertaining because so much of what Jesus said was designed to make people hearing him laugh. Some of the humor was even used to deride others in a light-hearted way.

It is a form of the word from which we get the scientific word,"genus." -- (CW) The word translated as "generation" means "race," "offspring," "class," "sort," "type," "generation," "age," and "kind." " The sense is a "type" or a "specimen" of a particular type.   Jesus uses it to refer to a type of person, specifically those like the Pharisees. See this article. This is a feminine noun so it is slightly insulting when applied to men. There is also a neuter form the means the same things. This translation "generation" is more specific than the word's general meaning. CW --Confusing Word -- "Generation" is more specific than the word's more general meaning.

The genitive is always used with some prepositions and verbs, but it is also used for many other things including 1) the attribute genitive (functioning as an adjective), 2) the possessive genitive ("belonging to"), 3) the partitive genitive ("which is part of"), 4) the apposition genitive (same thing as head noun, i.e. "which is"), 5) the descriptive genitive ("described by'), 6) the genitive of comparison ("than" when used with "more," "less," etc.), 7) subjective genitive ("or") with participle ("coming of the son" becomes "the son comes" , 8) objective gentive as the object of a transitive verb and preposition depends on action of verb often in prefix ("in," ‘for’, ‘about’, ‘concerning’, ‘toward’ or ‘against’) ("blasphemy of the spirit" to "blasphemy against the spirit"), 9) absolute: a participle and noun at the beginning of a sentence ("while") 8) of time ("during," "within") of a word indicating time. -- The form of this word requires the addition of extra words in English to capture its meaning.  The most common is the "of" of possession, but it can also mean "belonging to," "part of," "which is," "than" (in comparisons), or  "for," "concerning" or "about" with transitive verbs. 

The genitive absolute is a noun and a genitive particle at the beginning of a sentence, the action happening at the same time as the action of the sentence. Best translation with a "while" or a "during." A present participle is used with simultaneous actions. With an aorist participle, the event in the main clause occurs after the event in the participial clause. The perfect participle describes a situation which was already in existence and which still prevailed at the time of the action of the main verb.

when -- This is from a special word construction that indicates things happening at the same time as the following clause. A "while" or "during" is more accurate.

while -- This is from a special word construction that indicates things happening at the same time as the following clause.

See this article.

γεννητοῖς [2 verses](adj pl masc dat) "Them that are born" is gennetos, which is an adjective that means "begotten," "engendered," "propagated," or "born." When used as a noun, we might translate it as "child," "progeny," or "offspring."  - "Born" is an adjective that means "begotten," or "born," and, as a noun, "offspring" or "progeny."

It means changing into a new state of being. When the participle takes a predicate, the sense is "coming into" something. This verb also has a number of special meanings with different prepositions. It is the complementary opposite of the verb "to be" (eimi) which indicates existence in the same state. A genitive object indicates the time during which it "happens" or a date on which it "falls." A dative object indicates to whom it happens. With the preposition, eis, below, the sense is "turned into." -- (CW WW) The word translated as "be" means "to become," that is, to enter into a new state.

This is not the specific meaning of the word in this situation. With the Greek preposition meaning into, it the sense is "turned into." CW --Confusing Word -- The "be" does not capture the word's specific meaning in this situation. WW --Wrong Word -- The word translated as "be" should be something more like "happen."

This verb is more versatile because it can be used in more tenses.

γραφαῖς [13 verses](noun pl fem dat) "Scriptures" is graphe, which means "representing by means of lines," "a drawing," "writing," "the art of writing," and "that which is written." -- - (CW) "Scriptures" is a noun that means "writing", "the art of writing," and "that which is written," so, the "writings." It doesn't have the specific sense of religious writing that "scriptures" does. It might also be worth noting that the Greek word translated as "scriptures" literally means "a drawing." For the Greeks, both drawings and words created a "picture" or a man-made, artificial representation of reality. Its translation as "scripture" is more specific than the word's more general meaning. CW --Confusing Word -- The "scripture" is more specific than the word's general meaning.

λισθήσεται;[2 verses] (3rd sg fut ind pass) "Salted" is halizo, which has two separate meanings, "to salt," as in salting food, and "to gather together," "to collect [pieces]," and "to meet together (passive)." The passive form of the "salted" form only typically applies to sheep, that is, putting out salt for them. It is used in the Septuagint ( Exo 30:35, Lev 2:13, Isa 51:6, Eze 16:4 ) to translate the Hebrew malach, which is translated as "to be rubbed with salt," "to be tempered," and "to be dissipated."  - The word translated as "made salty" is another play on words, and, as usual, one that only works in Greek. The Greek verb means "to salt" but it is the passive, future tense. The passive form is usually only used for putting out salt for sheep. However, this Greek verb is used to translated a Hebrew word that means "to be rubbed with salt" and "to dissipate." The "be rubbed with salt" use in the OT is primarily to purify meat for sacrifice but also to its role in tempering blades, but the most common use of salting meat, then and now, was to preserve meat. So the sense is "will it be salted for preservation".

Only in religious uses does it become "guilt" and "sin," having no sense of doing malicious evil in Greek. The best English translation is "mistake," "fault," or "failure" rather than what we commonly think of as the evils of "sin." See this article for more information and context.

It has the sense of "adhere to" and "grasp" in the middle voice rather than simply touch. When it is in the middle voice it has a genitive object.  The sense of "ascend" has an idea of ascending to a higher state of knowledge.
