rwp chorus
rwp@1Peter:4:11 @{If any man speaketh} (\ei tis lalei\). Condition of first class, assumed as a fact. {Speaking as it were oracles of God} (\hs logia theou\). No predicate in this conclusion of the condition. For \logia theou\ see strkjv@Acts:7:38| (Mosaic law); strkjv@Romans:3:2| (the Old Testament); strkjv@Hebrews:5:12| (the substance of Christian teaching), here of the utterances of God through Christian teachers. \Logion\ (old word) is a diminutive of \logos\ (speech, word). It can be construed here as nominative or as accusative. The verb has to be supplied. {If any one ministereth} (\ei tis diakonei\). First-class condition again. See strkjv@Acts:6:2-4| for the twofold division of service involved here. {Which God supplieth} (\hs chorgei ho theos\). Ablative case (\hs\) of the relative attracted from the accusative \hn\, object of \chorgei\ (present active indicative of \chorge\, old verb, to supply from \chorgos\, chorus leader, in N.T. only here and strkjv@2Corinthians:9:10|). Peter has the compound \epichorge\ in strkjv@2Peter:1:5,11|. God is the supplier of strength. {That God may be glorified} (\hina doxaztai ho theos\). Purpose clause with \hina\ and the present passive subjunctive of \doxaz\. See strkjv@John:15:8|. {Whose is} (\hi estin\). "To whom (dative) is," that is to Jesus Christ the immediate antecedent, but in strkjv@Romans:16:27; strkjv@Jude:1:25| the doxology is to God through Christ. For other doxologies see strkjv@1Peter:5:11; strkjv@2Peter:3:18; strkjv@Galatians:1:5; strkjv@Romans:9:5; strkjv@11:36; strkjv@Phillipians:4:20; strkjv@Ephesians:3:21; strkjv@1Timothy:1:17; strkjv@6:16; strkjv@2Timothy:4:18; strkjv@Hebrews:13:21; strkjv@Revelation:1:6; strkjv@5:13; strkjv@7:12|. The others addressed to Christ are strkjv@2Peter:3:18; strkjv@2Timothy:4:18; strkjv@Revelation:1:6|.
rwp@2Corinthians:9:10 @{Supplieth} (\epichorgn\). Late _Koin_ compound verb from \epi\ and \chorge\, just below (1Peter:4:11|). \Chorgos\...for leader of a chorus... (\choros, hgeomai\) or chorus-...means to furnish a chorus at...\epichorge\ are strkjv@2Corinthians:9:10; strkjv@Galatians:3:15; strkjv@Colossians:2:19; strkjv@2Peter:1:5|. {Shall multiply} (\plthunei\). Future active indicative of \plthun\, old verb from \plthus\, fulness. Cf. strkjv@Acts:6:1|. {Fruits} (\genmata\). Correct reading (from \ginomai\, to become) and not \gennmata\ (from \genna\, to beget). This spelling is supported by LXX where Thackeray shows that \genmata\ in LXX refers to vegetables and \gennmata\ to animals. The papyri support this distinction (Moulton and Milligan's _Vocabulary_).
rwp@2Peter:1:5 @{Yea, and for this very cause} (\kai auto touto de\). Adverbial accusative (\auto touto\) here, a classic idiom, with both \kai\ and \de\. Cf. \kai touto\ (Phillipians:1:29|), \touto men--touto de\ (Hebrews:10:33|). "The soul of religion is the practical part" (Bunyan). Because of the new birth and the promises we have a part to play. {Adding on your part} (\pareisenegkantes\). First aorist active participle of \pareispher\, old double compound, to bring in (\eispher\), besides (\para\), here only in N.T. {All diligence} (\spoudn psan\). Old word from \speud\ to hasten (Luke:19:5f.|). This phrase (\psan spoudn\) occurs in strkjv@Jude:1:3| with \poioumenos\ and on the inscription in Stratonicea (verse 3|) with \ispheresthai\ (certainly a curious coincidence, to say the least, though common in the _Koin_). {In your faith} (\en ti pistei humn\). Faith or \pistis\ (strong conviction as in strkjv@Hebrews:11:1,3|, the root of the Christian life strkjv@Ephesians:2:8|) is the foundation which goes through various steps up to love (\agap\). See similar lists in strkjv@James:1:30; strkjv@1Thessalonians:1:3; strkjv@2Thessalonians:1:3f.; strkjv@Galatians:5:22f.; strkjv@Romans:5:3f.; strkjv@8:29f|. Hermas (Vis. iii. 8. 1-7) has a list called "daughters" of one another. Note the use of \en\ (in, on) with each step. {Supply} (\epichorgsate\). First aorist active imperative of \epichorge\, late and rare double compound verb (\epi\ and \chorge\ strkjv@1Peter:4:11| from \chorgos\, chorus-leader, \choros\ and \hgeomai\, to lead)...to fit out the chorus with...(complete) supplies. Both compound and simplex (more common) occur in the papyri. In strkjv@1:11| and already in strkjv@2Corinthians:9:10; strkjv@Galatians:3:5; strkjv@Colossians:2:19|. {Virtue} (\aretn\). Moral power, moral energy, vigor of soul (Bengel). See 3|. {Knowledge} (\gnsin\). Insight, understanding (1Corinthians:16:18; strkjv@John:15:15|).
rwp@Acts:21:12 @{Both we and they of that place} (\hmeis te kai hoi entopioi\). Usual use of \te kai\ (both--and). \Entopioi\, old word, only here in N.T. {Not to go up} (\tou m anabainein\). Probably ablative of the articular present active infinitive with redundant negative \me\ after \parekaloumen\ (imperfect active, conative). We tried to persuade him from going up. It can be explained as genitive, but not so likely: We tried to persuade him in respect to not going up. Vincent cites the case of Regulus who insisted on returning from Rome to Carthage to certain death and that of Luther on the way to the Diet of Worms. Spalatin begged Luther not to go on. Luther said: "Though devils be as many in Worms as tiles upon the roofs, yet thither will I go." This dramatic warning of Agabus came on top of that in Tyre (21:4|) and Paul's own confession in Miletus (20:23|). It is small wonder that Luke and the other messengers together with Philip and his daughters (prophetesses versus prophet?) joined in a chorus of dissuasion to Paul.
rwp@Mark:14:5 @{Above three hundred pence} (\epan dnarin triakosin\). Matthew has "for much" while strkjv@John:12:5| has "for three hundred pence." The use of "far above" may be a detail from Peter's memory of Judas' objection whose name in this connection is preserved in strkjv@John:12:4|. {And they murmured against her} (\kai enebrimnto auti\). Imperfect tense of this striking word used of the snorting of horses and seen already in strkjv@Mark:1:43; strkjv@11:38|. It occurs in the LXX in the sense of anger as here (Daniel:11:30|)...apostles joined in the chorus of...
rwp@Mark:15:13 @{Crucify him} (\Staurson auton\). strkjv@Luke:23:21| repeats the verb. strkjv@Matthew:27:22|...crucified." There was a chorus and...¯Matthew:27:23| for discussion of strkjv@Mark:15:14|.
rwp@Matthew:18:19 @{Shall agree} (\sumphnssin\)...concord of voices, a chorus in...{Of my Father} (\para tou patros mou\). From the side of, "by my Father."
rwp@Revelation:5:13 @{Every created thing} (\pn ktisma\). Every creature in a still wider antiphonal circle beyond the circle of angels (from \ktiz\, for which see strkjv@1Timothy:4:4; strkjv@James:1:18|), from all the four great fields of life (in heaven, upon the earth, under the earth as in verse 3|, with on the sea \epi ts thalasss\ added)...left out. This universal chorus of...8:20-22| concerning the sympathetic agony of creation (\ktisis\) in hope of freedom from the bondage of corruption. If the trail of the serpent is on all creation, it will be ultimately thrown off. {Saying} (\legontas\). Masculine (construction according to sense, personifying the created things) if genuine, though some MSS. have \legonta\ (grammatical gender agreeing with \panta\) present active participle of \leg\, to say. {And to the Lamb} (\kai ti arnii\). Dative case. Praise and worship are rendered to the Lamb precisely as to God on the throne. Note separate articles here in the doxology as in strkjv@4:11| and the addition of \to kratos\ (active power) in place of \ischus\ (reserve of strength) in strkjv@5:12|.
rwp@Revelation:8:1 @{And when he opened} (\kai hotan noixen\). Here modal \an\ is used with \hote\ (used about the opening of the preceding six seals), but \hotan\ is not here rendered more indefinite, as is sometimes true (Mark:3:11; strkjv@Revelation:4:9|), but here and possibly (can be repetition) in strkjv@Mark:11:19| it is a particular instance, not a general rule (Robertson, _Grammar_, p. 973). {There followed a silence} (\egeneto sig\). Second aorist middle of \ginomai\...or angel speaking, no chorus of...(Swete), but a temporary cessation in the revelations. See strkjv@10:4|. {About the space of half an hour} (\hs hmiron\). Late and rare word (\hmi\, half, \hra\, hour), here only in N.T. Accusative of extent of time.
rwp@Revelation:14:2 @{As a voice of many waters} (\hs phnn hudatn polln\). For which see strkjv@1:15|. {Of a great thunder} (\bronts megals\). For which see strkjv@6:1; strkjv@19:6|. For this voice out of heaven see strkjv@10:4; strkjv@14:15; strkjv@18:4| and note accusative with \kousa\. {As the voice of harpers harping with their harps} (\hs kitharidn kitharizontn en tais kitharais autn\). Triple use of \kithara\ (5:8|), \kitharidn\ (18:22|), \kitharizontn\ (old verb \kithariz\, in N.T. only here and strkjv@1Corinthians:14:7|)...Wonderful melody in this chorus by...144,000.
rwp@Revelation:19:4 @{Fell down and worshipped God} (\epesan kai prosekunsan ti thei\). Precisely as in strkjv@7:11|, which see. The twenty-...take up the antiphonal chorus of...
