See strkjv@1:9|. {Old wives' fables} (\gradeis muthous\). On \muthos\, see strkjv@1:4|. \Gradeis\, late word (Strabo, Galen) from \graus\, old woman, and \eidos\ (look, appearance). Such as old women tell to children like the Gnostic aeons. {Exercise thyself} (\gumnaze seauton\). Present active imperative of \gumnaz\, originally to exercise naked (\gumnos\). Old and common verb, but in N.T. only here and strkjv@Hebrews:5:14; strkjv@12:11|.
rwp@James:5:19 @{If any one among you do err} (\ean tis en humin planthi\). Third-class condition (supposed case) with \ean\ and the first aorist passive subjunctive of \plana\, old verb, to go astray, to wander (Matthew:18:12|), figuratively (Hebrews:5:2|). {From the truth} (\apo ts altheias\). For truth see strkjv@1:18; strkjv@3:14; strkjv@John:8:32; strkjv@1John:1:6; strkjv@3:18f|. It was easy then, and is now, to be led astray from Christ, who is the Truth. {And one convert him} (\kai epistrepsi tis auton\). Continuation of the third-class condition with the first aorist active subjunctive of \epistreph\, old verb, to turn (transitive here as in strkjv@Luke:1:16f.|, but intransitive often as strkjv@Acts:9:35|).
rwp@Mark:5:7 @{I adjure thee by God} (\horkiz se ton theon\). The demoniac puts Jesus on oath (two accusatives) after the startled outcry just like the one in strkjv@1:24|, which see. He calls Jesus here "son of the Most High God" (\huie tou theou tou hupsistou\) as in strkjv@Luke:8:28| (cf. strkjv@Genesis:14:18f.|). {Torment me not} (\m me basanisis\). Prohibition with \m\ and the ingressive aorist subjunctive. The word means to test metals and then to test one by torture (cf. our "third degree"). Same word in all three Gospels.
rwp@Revelation:5:9 @{They sing} (\idousin\). Present active indicative of \id\. Old verb, to chant with lyrical emotion (Colossians:3:16|). {A new song} (\idn kainn\). Cognate accusative for \oide\ (\id\, song) is \oide\ from \eid\, that is \id\ (the verb used), old word already used (Colossians:3:16; strkjv@Ephesians:5:19|), called \kainn\ because a fresh song for new mercies (Isaiah:42:10; strkjv@Psalms:33:3; strkjv@40:3|, etc.), here in praise of redemption to Christ (14:3|) like the new name (2:17; strkjv@3:12|), the new Jerusalem (3:12; strkjv@21:2|), the new heaven and the new earth (21:1|), not the old song of creation (4:8,11|) to God. {For thou wast slain} (\hoti esphags\). Second aorist passive indicative of \sphaz\. \Agoraz\ used by Paul and Peter of our purchase from sin by Christ (1Corinthians:6:20; strkjv@7:23; strkjv@Galatians:3:13; strkjv@4:5; strkjv@2Peter:2:1|; cf. strkjv@1Peter:1:18f.|). {Unto God} (\ti thei\). Dative case of advantage as also in verse 10|. {With thy blood} (\en ti haimati sou\). Instrumental use of \en\ as in strkjv@1:5|. The blood of Christ as the price of our redemption runs all through the Apocalypse. This is the reason why Christ is worthy to "take the book and open its seals." That is, he is worthy to receive adoration and worship (4:11|) as the Father does. {Men of every} (\ek pass\). No \anthrpous\ (men) or \tinas\ (some) before \ek\ in the Greek. See a like ellipsis in strkjv@11:9| with a like grouping of words for all mankind, representatives of all races and nations (7:9; strkjv@13:7; strkjv@14:6|).
rwp@Revelation:14:18 @{Another angel} (\allos aggelos\). The fifth angel above Swete terms "the Angel of vengeance." He responds to the call of the sixth angel here as Christ does to the call of the fourth angel in verse 15|. {Out from the altar} (\ek tou thusiastriou\). From the altar of incense where he is in charge of the fire (\exousian epi tou puros\). If it is the altar of burnt offering (6:9; strkjv@11:1|), we are reminded of the blood of the martyrs (Swete), but if the altar of incense (8:3,5; strkjv@9:13; strkjv@16:7|), then of the prayers of the saints. {The sharp sickle} (\to drepanon to oxu\). Useful for vintage as for harvesting. Songs:"send forth" (\pempson\) as in verse 15|. {Gather} (\trugson\).
