rwp - kakous

rwp@Philippians:3:2 @{Beware} (\blepete\). Three times for urgency and with different epithet for the Judaizers each time. {The dogs} (\tous kunas\). The Jews so termed the Gentiles which Jesus uses in a playful mood (\kunariois\, little dogs) to the Syro-Phoenician woman (Matthew:15:26|). Paul here turns the phrase on the Judaizers themselves. {The evil workers} (\tous kakous ergatas\). He had already called the Judaizers "deceitful workers" (\ergatai dolioi\) in strkjv@2Corinthians:11:13|. {The concision} (\tn katatomn\). Late word for incision, mutilation (in contrast with \peritom\, circumcision). In Symmachus and an inscription. The verb \katatemn\ is used in the LXX only of mutilations (Leviticus:21:5; strkjv@1Kings:18:28|).
