OT-LAW.filter - rwp uxanen:

rwp@1Corinthians:3:6 @{I planted} (\eg ephuteusa\). First aorist active indicative of old verb \phuteu\. This Paul did as Luke tells us in strkjv@Acts:18:1-18|. {Apollos watered} (\Apolls epotisen\). Apollos irrigated the church there as is seen in strkjv@Acts:18:24-19:1|. Another aorist tense as in verse 2|. {But God gave the increase} (\alla ho theos uxanen\). Imperfect tense here (active indicative) for the continuous blessing of God both on the work of Paul and Apollos, co-labourers with God in God's field (verse 9|). Reports of revivals sometimes give the glory to the evangelist or to both evangelist and pastor. Paul gives it all to God. He and Apollos cooperated as successive pastors.

rwp@Acts:6:7 @{Increased} (\uxanen\). Imperfect active, kept on growing all the more because the apostles were now relieved from the daily ministration of the food. {Multiplied} (\eplthuneto\). Imperfect passive. The two imperfects kept pace with each other. {Of the priests} (\tn hiern\). Who were usually Sadducees. It was a sad day for Annas and Caiaphas and all the sect of the Sadducees (5:17|). {Were obedient to} (\hupkouon\). Imperfect active of \hupakou\, repetition, one after another. {The faith} (\ti pistei\). Here meaning the gospel, the faith system as in strkjv@Romans:1:5; strkjv@Galatians:1:23; strkjv@Jude:1:3|, etc. Here the word means more than individual trust in Christ.

rwp@Acts:12:24 @{Grew and multiplied} (\uxanen kai eplthuneto\). Imperfect active and passive. Cf. strkjv@6:1|. The reaction from the death of James and the imprisonment of Peter.
