rwp@1Corinthians:7:10 @{To the married} (\tois gegamkosin\). Perfect active participle of \game\, old verb, to marry, and still married as the tense shows. {I give charge} (\paraggell\). Not mere wish as in verses 7,8|. {Not I, but the Lord} (\ouk eg alla ho kurios\). Paul had no commands from Jesus to the unmarried (men or women), but Jesus had spoken to the married (husbands and wives) as in strkjv@Matthew:5:31f.; strkjv@19:3-12; strkjv@Mark:10:9-12; strkjv@Luke:16:18|. The Master had spoken plain words about divorce. Paul reenforces his own inspired command by the command of Jesus. In strkjv@Mark:10:9| we have from Christ: "What therefore God joined together let not man put asunder" (\m chorizet\). {That the wife depart not from her husband} (\gunaika apo andros m choristhnai\). First aorist passive infinitive (indirect command after \paraggell\) of \choriz\, old verb from adverbial preposition \chris\, separately, apart from, from. Here used of divorce by the wife which, though unusual then, yet did happen as in the case of Salome (sister of Herod the Great) and of Herodias before she married Herod Antipas. Jesus also spoke of it (Mark:10:12|). Now most of the divorces are obtained by women. This passive infinitive is almost reflexive in force according to a constant tendency in the _Koin_ (Robertson, _Grammar_, p. 817).

rwp@1Corinthians:7:11 @{But and if she depart} (\ean de kai christhi\). Third class condition, undetermined. If, in spite of Christ's clear prohibition, she get separated (ingressive passive subjunctive), {let her remain unmarried} (\menet agamos\). Paul here makes no allowance for remarriage of the innocent party as Jesus does by implication. {Or else be reconciled to her husband} (\ ti andri katallagt\). Second aorist (ingressive) passive imperative of \katallass\, old compound verb to exchange coins as of equal value, to reconcile. One of Paul's great words for reconciliation with God (2Corinthians:5:18-20; strkjv@Romans:5:10|). \Diallass\ (Matthew:5:24| which see) was more common in the older Greek, but \katallass\ in the later. The difference in idea is very slight, \dia-\ accents notion of exchange, \kat-\ the perfective idea (complete reconciliation). Dative of personal interest is the case of \andri\. This sentence is a parenthesis between the two infinitives \christhnai\ and \aphienai\ (both indirect commands after \paraggell\). {And that the husband leave not his wife} (\kai andra m aphienai\). This is also part of the Lord's command (Mark:10:11|). \Apolu\ occurs in Mark of the husband's act and \aphienai\ here, both meaning to send away. Bengel actually stresses the difference between \christhnai\ of the woman as like _separatur_ in Latin and calls the wife "pars ignobilior" and the husband "nobilior." I doubt if Paul would stand for that extreme.

rwp@1Timothy:1:3 @{As I exhorted} (\kaths parekalesa\). There is an ellipse of the principal clause in verse 4| ({so do I now} not being in the Greek). {To tarry} (\prosmeinai\). First aorist active infinitive of \prosmen\, old verb, attributed by Luke to Paul in strkjv@Acts:13:43|. {That thou mightest charge} (\hina paraggeilis\). Subfinal clause with \hina\ and the first aorist active subjunctive of \paraggell\, old verb, to transmit a message along (\para\) from one to another. See strkjv@2Thessalonians:3:4,6,10|. Lock considers this idiom here an elliptical imperative like strkjv@Ephesians:4:29; strkjv@5:33|. {Certain men} (\tisin\). Dative case. Expressly vague (no names as in strkjv@1:20|), though Paul doubtless has certain persons in Ephesus in mind. {Not to teach a different doctrine} (\m heterodidaskalein\). Earliest known use of this compound like \kakodidaskalein\ of Clement of Rome. Only other N.T. example in strkjv@6:3|. Eusebius has \heterodidaskalos\. Same idea in strkjv@Galatians:1:6; strkjv@2Corinthians:11:4; strkjv@Romans:16:17|. Perhaps coined by Paul.

rwp@1Timothy:6:14 @{That thou keep} (\trsai se\). First aorist active infinitive of \tre\, with accusative of general reference (\se\) in indirect command after \paraggell\. {Without spot} (\aspilon\). Late adjective (\a\ privative, \spilos\, spot, strkjv@Ephesians:5:27|). In inscription and papyri. {Without reproach} (\anepilmpton\). See strkjv@3:2; strkjv@5:7|. {Until the appearing} (\mechri ts epiphaneias\). "Until the epiphany" (the second epiphany or coming of Christ). Late word in inscriptions for important event like the epiphany of Caligula, in the papyri as a medical term. In strkjv@2Thessalonians:2:18| we have both \epiphaneia\ and \parousia\. See strkjv@Titus:2:13; strkjv@2Timothy:1:10; strkjv@4:1,8|.

rwp@1Timothy:6:17 @{In this present world} (\en ti nun aini\). "In the now age," in contrast with the future. {That they be not high-minded} (\m hupslophronein\). Present active infinitive with negative in indirect command after \paraggelle\, "not to be high-minded." Only instance of the word save some MSS. of strkjv@Romans:11:20| (for \m hupslaphronei\) and a scholion on Pindar. {Have their hope set} (\lpikenai\). Perfect active infinitive of \elpiz\. {On the uncertainty of riches} (\epi ploutou adlotti\). Literary _Koin_ word (\adlots\), only here in N.T. A "vigorous oxymoron" (White). Cf. strkjv@Romans:6:4|. Riches have wings. {But on God} (\all' epi thei\). He alone is stable, not wealth. {Richly all things to enjoy} (\panta plousis eis apolausin\). "A lavish emphasis to the generosity of God" (Parry). \Apolausis\ is old word from \apolau\, to enjoy, in N.T. only here and strkjv@Hebrews:11:25|.

rwp@2Thessalonians:3:4 @{And we have confidence} (\pepoithomen\). Second perfect indicative of \peith\, to persuade, intransitive in this tense, we are in a state of trust. {In the Lord touching you} (\en kurii eph' humas\). Note the two prepositions, \en\ in the sphere of the Lord (1Thessalonians:4:1|) as the _ground_ of Paul's confident trust, \eph'\ (\epi\) with the accusative (towards you) where the dative could have been used (cf. strkjv@2Corinthians:2:3|). {Ye both do and will do} (\[kai] poieite kai poisete\). Compliment and also appeal, present and future tenses of \poie\. {The things which we command} (\ha paraggellomen\). Note of apostolic authority here, not advice or urging, but command.

rwp@2Thessalonians:3:6 @{Now we command you} (\paraggellomen de humin\). Paul puts into practice the confidence expressed on their obedience to his commands in verse 4|. {In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ} (\en onomati tou kuriou Isou Christou\). {Name} (\onoma\) here for authority of Jesus Christ with which compare {through the Lord Jesus} (\dia tou kuriou Isou\) in strkjv@1Thessalonians:4:2|. For a full discussion of the phrase see the monograph of W. Heitmuller, _Im Namen Jesu_. Paul wishes his readers to realize the responsibility on them for their obedience to his command. {That ye withdraw yourselves} (\stellesthai humas\). Present middle (direct) infinitive of \stell\, old verb to place, arrange, make compact or shorten as sails, to move oneself from or to withdraw oneself from (with \apo\ and the ablative). In strkjv@2Corinthians:8:20| the middle voice (\stellomenoi\) means taking care. {From every brother that walketh disorderly} (\apo pantos adelphou atakts peripatountos\). He calls him "brother" still. The adverb \atakts\ is common in Plato and is here and verse 11| alone in the N.T., though the adjective \ataktos\, equally common in Plato we had in strkjv@1Thessalonians:5:14| which see. Military term, out of ranks. {And not after the tradition} (\kai m kata tn paradosin\). See on ¯2:15| for \paradosin\. {Which they received of us} (\hn parelabosan par hmn\). Westcott and Hort put this form of the verb (second aorist indicative third person plural of \paralamban\, the \-osan\ form instead of \-on\, with slight support from the papyri, but in the LXX and the Boeotian dialect, Robertson, _Grammar_, pp. 335f.) in the margin with \parelabete\ (ye received) in the text. There are five different readings of the verb here, the others being \parelabon, parelabe, elabosan\.

rwp@2Thessalonians:3:12 @{We command and exhort} (\paraggellomen kai parakaloumen\). Paul asserts his authority as an apostle and pleads as a man and minister. {That with quietness they work, and eat their own bread} (\hina meta hsuchias ergazomenoi ton heautn arton esthisin\). Substance of the command and exhortation by \hina\ and the present subjunctive \esthisin\. Literally, {that working with quietness they keep on eating their own bread}. The precise opposite of their conduct in verse 11|.

rwp@Acts:23:30 @{When it was shown to me that there would be a plot} (\mnutheiss moi epibouls esesthai\). Two constructions combined; genitive absolute (\mnutheiss epibouls\, first aorist passive participle of \mnu\) and future infinitive (\esesthai\ as if \epibouln\ accusative of general reference used) in indirect assertion after \mnu\ (Robertson, _Grammar_, p. 877). {Charging his accusers also} (\paraggeilas kai tois katgorois\). First aorist active participle of \paraggell\ with which compare \mathn\ above (verse 27|), not subsequent action. Dative case in \katgorois\. {Before thee} (\epi sou\). Common idiom for "in the presence of" when before a judge (like Latin _apud_) as in strkjv@24:20,21; strkjv@25:26; strkjv@26:2|. What happened to the forty conspirators we have no way of knowing. Neither they nor the Jews from Asia are heard of more during the long five years of Paul's imprisonment in Caesarea and Rome.
