rwp - injunction

rwp@Colossians:4:16 @{When this epistle hath been read among you} (\hotan anagnsthi par' humin h epistol\). Indefinite temporal clause with \hotan\ (\hote an\) and the first aorist passive subjunctive of \anaginsk\. The epistle was read in public to the church (Revelation:1:3|). {Cause that} (\poisate hina\). Same idiom in strkjv@John:11:37; strkjv@Revelation:13:15|. Old Greek preferred \hops\ for this idiom. See strkjv@1Thessalonians:5:27| for injunction for public reading of the Epistle. {That ye also read} (\kai humeis anagnte\). Second aorist active subjunctive of \anaginsk\, to read. {And the epistle from Laodicea} (\kai tn ek Laodikias\). The most likely meaning is that the so-called Epistle to the Ephesians was a circular letter to various churches in the province of Asia, one copy going to Laodicea and to be passed on to Colossae as the Colossian letter was to be sent on to Laodicea. This was done usually by copying and keeping the original. See strkjv@Ephesians:1:1| for further discussion of this matter.

rwp@Ephesians:3:19 @{And to know} (\gnnai te\). Second aorist active infinitive with \exischuste\. {Which passeth knowledge} (\tn huperballousan ts gnses\). Ablative case \gnses\ after \huperballousan\ (from \huperball\). All the same Paul dares to scale this peak. {That ye may be filled with all the fulness of God} (\hina plrthte eis pn to plrma tou theou\). Final clause again (third use of \hina\ in the sentence) with first aorist passive subjunctive of \plro\ and the use of \eis\...in harmony with the injunction in...5:48| to be perfect (\teleioi\) as our heavenly Father is perfect. There is nothing that any one can add to these words. One can turn to strkjv@Romans:8:29| again for our final likeness to God in Christ.

rwp@Hebrews:11:23 @{Was hid} (\ekrub\). Second aorist passive indicative of \krupt\, to hide, as in strkjv@Matthew:5:14|. {Three months} (\trimnon\). Old adjective used as neuter substantive in accusative case for extent of time, here only in N.T. {A goodly child} (\asteion to paidion\). Literally, "the child was goodly" (predicate adjective). Old adjective from \astu\ (city), "of the city" ("citified"), of polished manners, genteel. In N.T. only here and strkjv@Acts:7:20|, about Moses both times. Quoted from strkjv@Exodus:2:2f.| {The king's commandment} (\to diatagma tou basiles\). Late compound for injunction from \diatass\, only here in the N.T.

rwp@Matthew:10:19 @{Be not anxious} (\m merimnste\). Ingressive aorist subjunctive in prohibition. "Do not become anxious" (Matthew:6:31|). "Self-...for humble Galileans. The injunction applied...(McNeile). "It might well alarm the bravest of these simple fishermen to be told that they would have to answer for their doings on Christ's behalf before Jewish councils and heathen courts" (Plummer). Christ is not talking about preparation of sermons. "{In that hour}" (\en ekeini ti hri\), if not before. The Spirit of your Father will speak to you and through you (10:20|). Here is no posing as martyr or courting a martyr's crown, but real heroism with full loyalty to Christ.
