rwp@Acts:17:29 @{We ought not to think} (\ouk opheilomen nomizein\). It is a logical conclusion (\oun\, therefore) from the very language of Aratus and Cleanthes. {That the Godhead is like} (\to theion einai homoion\). Infinitive with accusative of general reference in indirect discourse. \To theion\ is strictly "the divine" nature like \theiots\ (Romans:1:20|) rather than like \theots\ (Colossians:2:9|). Paul may have used \to theion\ here to get back behind all their notions of various gods to the real nature of God. The Athenians may even have used the term themselves. After \homoios\ (like) the associative instrumental case is used as with \chrusi, arguri, lithi\. {Graven by art and device of man} (\charagmati techns kai enthumses anthrpou\). Apposition with preceding and so \charagmati\ in associative instrumental case. Literally, graven work or sculpture from \charass\, to engrave, old word, but here alone in N.T. outside of Revelation (the mark of the beast). Graven work of art (\techns\) or external craft, and of thought or device (\enthumses\) or internal conception of man.

rwp@James:4:9 @{Be afflicted} (\talaiprsate\). First aorist active imperative \talaipre\, old verb from \talaipros\ (Romans:7:24|), to endure toils, here only in N.T. Cf. \talaipriais\ in strkjv@5:1|. {Mourn} (\penthsate\). First aorist active imperative of \penthe\, old verb from \penthos\ (mourning, strkjv@4:9|), as in strkjv@Matthew:5:4f|. Often in N.T. joined as here with \klai\, to weep (Mark:16:10; strkjv@Luke:6:25|). A call to the godly sorrow spoken of in strkjv@2Corinthians:7:10| (Mayor), like an O.T. prophet. {Weep} (\klausate\). First aorist active imperative of \klai\. {Laughter} (\gels\). Old word from Homer down, only here in N.T. as \gela\, to {laugh} (opposite of \klai\), in N.T. only in strkjv@Luke:6:21,25|, but \katagela\ in strkjv@Luke:8:53| (Mark:5:40; strkjv@Matthew:9:24|). {Be turned} (\metatrapt\). Second aorist passive imperative of \metatrep\, old word, to turn about, to transmute, in Homer (not in Attic), here only in N.T. {Heaviness} (\katpheian\). Old word from \katphs\ (of a downcast look, from \kata\, \pha\ eyes), hanging down of the eyes like the publican in strkjv@Luke:18:13|, here only in N.T.
