rwp - proportionate

rwp@Hebrews:3:3 @{Hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses} (\pleionos doxs para Musn xitai\). Perfect passive indicative of \axio\, to deem worthy, permanent situation described with definite claim of Christ's superiority to Moses. \Doxs\ in genitive case after \xitai\. For \para\ after the comparative \pleionos\ see strkjv@1:4,9; strkjv@2:7|. {By so much as} (\kath' hoson\). A proportionate measurement (common use of \kata\ and the quantitative relative \hosos\). {Than the house} (\tou oikou\). Ablative case of comparison after \pleiona\. The architect is superior to the house just as Sir Christopher Wren is superior to St. Paul's Cathedral. The point in the argument calls for Jesus as the builder (\ho kataskeuasas\, first aorist active participle of \kataskeuaz\, to found or build). But it is God's house as \autou\ means (verses 2,5|) and \hou\ in verse 6|. This house of God existed before Moses (11:2,25|). Jesus as God's Son founded and supervised this house of God.

rwp@Matthew:20:4 @{Whatsoever is right} (\ho ean i dikaion\). "Is fair" (Allen)...pleased, but a just proportionate wage....\ean=an\.
