rwp@Luke:18:1 @{To the end that} (\pros to dein\). {With a view to the being necessary}, \pros\ and the articular infinitive. The impersonal verb \dei\ here is in the infinitive and has another infinitive loosely connected with it \proseuchesthai\, to pray. {Not to faint} (\m enkakein\). Literally, not to give in to evil (\en, kake\, from \kakos\, bad or evil), to turn coward, lose heart, behave badly. A late verb used several times in the N.T. (2Corinthians:4:1,16,| etc.).

rwp@Matthew:10:17 @{Beware of men} (\prosechete apo tn anthrpn\). Ablative case with \apo\. Hold your mind (\noun\ understood) away from. The article with \anthrpn\ points back to \lukn\ (wolves) in strkjv@10:16|.

rwp@Romans:9:32 @We must supply the omitted verb \edixa\ (pursued) from verse 31|. That explains the rest. {They stumbled at the stone of stumbling} (\prosekopsan ti lithi tou proskommatos\). The quotation is from strkjv@Isaiah:8:14|. \Proskopt\ means to cut (\kopt\) against (\pros\) as in strkjv@Matthew:4:6; strkjv@John:11:9f|. The Jews found Christ a \skandalon\ (1Corinthians:1:23|).
