NT-GOSPEL.filter - rwp prosdok:

rwp@2Peter:3:12 @{Looking for} (\prosdokntas\). Present active participle of \prosdoka\ (Matthew:11:3|) agreeing in case (accusative plural) with \hums\. {Earnestly desiring} (\speudontas\). Present active participle, accusative also, of \speud\, old verb, to hasten (like our speed) as in strkjv@Luke:2:16|, but it is sometimes transitive as here either (preferably so) to "hasten on the parousia" by holy living (cf. strkjv@1Peter:2:12|), with which idea compare strkjv@Matthew:6:10; strkjv@Acts:3:19f.|, or to desire earnestly (Isaiah:16:5|). {Being on fire} (\puroumenoi\). Present passive participle of \puro\, old verb (from pur), same idea as in verse 10|. {Shall melt} (\tketai\). Futuristic present passive indicative of \tk\, old verb, to make liquid, here only in N.T. Hort suggests \txetai\ (future middle), though strkjv@Isaiah:34:4| has \taksontai\ (second future passive). The repetitions here make "an effective refrain" (Mayor).

rwp@2Peter:3:13 @{Promise} (\epaggelma\). As in strkjv@1:4|. The reference is to strkjv@Isaiah:65:17f.; strkjv@66:22|. See also strkjv@Revelation:21:1|. For \kainos\ (new) see on ¯Matthew:26:29|. For the expectant attitude in \prosdokmen\ (we look for) repeated from verse 12| and again in verse 14|, see \apekdechometha\ (we eagerly look for) in strkjv@Phillipians:3:20|. {Wherein} (\en hois\). The new heavens and earth. {Dwelleth} (\katoikei\). Has its home (\oikos\). Certainly "righteousness" (\dikaiosun\) is not at home in this present world either in individuals, families, or nations.

rwp@Hebrews:10:27 @{Expectation} (\ekdoch\). Usually reception or interpretation from \ekdechomai\ (Hebrews:11:10|), only here in N.T. and in unusual sense like \prosdokia\, like \apekdechomai\ (Romans:8:19,23,25|), this sense apparently "coined by the writer" (Moffatt) from his use of \ekdechomai\ in strkjv@10:13|. The papyri have it in the sense of interpretation. {A fierceness of fire} (\puros zlos\). An anger (zeal, jealousy) marked (genitive) by fire. Language kin to that in strkjv@Isaiah:26:11; strkjv@Zephaniah:1:19; strkjv@Psalms:79:5|. See also strkjv@2Thessalonians:1:8-10| for a like picture of destined doom. {Devour} (\esthiein\). "To eat" (figuratively), present active infinitive. {The adversaries} (\tous hupenantious\). Old double compound adjective (\hupo, en, antios\), in N.T. only here and strkjv@Colossians:2:14|. Those directly opposite.

rwp@Jude:1:21 @{Keep yourselves} (\heautous trsate\). First aorist active imperative (of urgency) of \tre\. In verse 1| they are said to be kept, but note the warning in verse 5| from the angels who did not keep their dominion. See also strkjv@James:1:27|. In strkjv@Phillipians:2:12| both sides (human responsibility and divine sovereignty are presented side by side). {Looking for} (\prosdechomenoi\). Present middle participle of \prosdechomai\, the very form in strkjv@Titus:2:13|. The same idea in \prosdokntes\ in strkjv@2Peter:3:14|.

rwp@Luke:3:15 @{Were in expectation} (\prosdokntos\). Genitive absolute of this striking verb already seen in strkjv@1:21|. {Reasoned} (\dialogizomenn\). Genitive absolute again. John's preaching about the Messiah and the kingdom of God stirred the people deeply and set them to wondering. {Whether haply he were the Christ} (\mpote autos ei ho Christos\). Optative \ei\ in indirect question changed from the indicative in the direct (Robertson, _Grammar_, p. 1031). John wrought no miracles and was not in David's line and yet he moved people so mightily that they began to suspect that he himself (\autos\) was the Messiah. The Sanhedrin will one day send a formal committee to ask him this direct question (John:1:19|).

rwp@Luke:7:19 @{Calling unto him} (\proskalesamenos\). First aorist middle (indirect) participle. {Two} (\duo tinas\). Certain two. Not in strkjv@Matthew:11:2|. {Saying} (\legn\). John saying by the two messengers. The message is given precisely alike in strkjv@Matthew:11:3|, which see. In both we have \heteron\ for "another," either a second or a different kind. In verse 20| Westcott and Hort read \allon\ in the text, \heteron\ in the margin. \Prosdokmen\, may be present indicative or present subjunctive (deliberative), the same contract form (\ao= , a \).

rwp@Luke:8:40 @{Welcomed} (\apedexato\). Peculiar to Luke. To receive with pleasure, from \apodechomai\, a common verb. {For they were all waiting for him} (\san gar pantes prosdokntes auton\). Periphrastic imperfect active of {prosdoka}, an old verb for eager expectancy, a vivid picture of the attitude of the people towards Jesus. Driven from Decapolis, he is welcomed in Capernaum.

rwp@Luke:21:26 @{Men fainting} (\apopsuchontn anthrpn\). Genitive absolute of \apopsuch\, to expire, to breathe off or out. Old word. Here only in N.T. {Expectation} (\prosdokias\). Old word from \prosdoka\, to look for or towards. In the N.T. only here and strkjv@Acts:12:11|. {The world} (\ti oikoumeni\). Dative case, "the inhabited" (earth, \gi\).
