First aorist middle participle of \anaznnumi\, late and rare verb (Judges:18:16; strkjv@Proverbs:29:35; strkjv@31:17|), here only in N.T., vivid metaphor for habit of the Orientals, who quickly gathered up their loose robes with a girdle when in a hurry or starting on a journey. {The loins} (\tas osphuas\).

"Being sober" (present active participle of \nph\, old verb, but in N.T. always as metaphor (1Thessalonians:5:6,8|, etc., and so in strkjv@4:7|). {Perfectly} (\teleis\). Adverb, old word (here alone in N.T.), from adjective \teleios\ (perfect), connected with \elpisate\ (set your hope, first aorist active imperative of \elpiz\) in the Revised Version, but Bigg, Hort, and most modern commentators take it according to Peter's usual custom with the preceding verb, \nphontes\ ("being perfectly sober," not "hope perfectly"). {That is to be brought} (\tn pheromenn\). Present passive articular participle of \pher\, picturing the process, "that is being brought." For "revelation" (\apokalupsei\) see end of verse 7|.

rwp@2Timothy:1:6 @{For the which cause} (\di' hn aitian\). "For which cause," stronger than \dio\. Songs:in verse 12; strkjv@Titus:1:13|. Only example of \aitia\ by Paul save in strkjv@Acts:28:20|. {I put thee in remembrance} (\anamimnsk\). Old compound to remind (1Corinthians:4:17; strkjv@2Corinthians:7:15|). {That thou stir up} (\se anazpurein\). Present active infinitive of \anazpure\, old double compound (\ana\ and \zpuron\, live coal, \zos\ and \pur\, then the bellows for kindling), to rekindle, to stir into flame, to keep blazing (continuous action, present time), only here in N.T. See strkjv@1Thessalonians:5:19| for the figure of fire concerning the Holy Spirit. See \anapt\ in strkjv@Luke:12:49|. {The gift of God} (\to charisma tou theou\). See strkjv@1Timothy:4:14|. Here Paul says \mou\ (my), there he mentions the presbytery. Paul felt a deep personal interest in Timothy. See strkjv@1Corinthians:7:7; strkjv@Romans:6:23; strkjv@11:29| for the gift of God.

rwp@Acts:11:25 @{To seek for Saul} (\anaztsai Saulon\). First aorist (effective) active infinitive of purpose. \Anazte\ is a common verb since Plato, but in the N.T. only here and strkjv@Luke:2:44,45|, to seek up and down (\ana\), back and forth, to hunt up, to make a thorough search till success comes. It is plain from strkjv@Galatians:1:21| that Saul had not been idle in Cilicia. Tarsus was not very far from Antioch. Barnabas probably knew that Saul was a vessel of choice (Acts:9:15|) by Christ for the work among the Gentiles. He knew, of course, of Saul's work with the Hellenists in Jerusalem (9:29|) and echoes of his work in Cilicia and Syria had probably come to him. Songs:to Tarsus he goes when he saw the need for help. "He had none of the littleness which cannot bear the presence of a possible rival" (Furneaux). Barnabas knew his own limitations and knew where the man of destiny for this crisis was, the man who already had the seal of God upon him. The hour and the man met when Barnabas brought Saul to Antioch. The door was open and the man was ready, far more ready than when Jesus called him on the road to Damascus. The years in Cilicia and Syria were not wasted for they had not been idle. If we only knew the facts, it is probable that Saul also had been preaching to Hellenes as well as to Hellenists. Jesus had definitely called him to work among the Gentiles (9:15|). In his own way he had come to the same place that Peter reached in Caesarea and that Barnabas now holds in Antioch. God always has a man prepared for a great emergency in the kingdom. The call of Barnabas was simply the repetition of the call of Christ. Songs:Saul came.

rwp@Luke:2:45 @{Seeking for him} (\anaztountes auton\). Present participle of the same verb. This was all that was worth while now, finding the lost boy.

rwp@Luke:15:24 @{And is alive} (\kai anezsen\). First aorist active indicative of \anaza\, to live again. Literally, he was dead and he came back to life. {He was lost} (\n apolls\, periphrastic past perfect active of \apollumi\ and intransitive, in a lost state) and he was found (\heureth\). He was found, we have to say, but this aorist passive is really timeless, he is found after long waiting (effective aorist) The artists have vied with each other in picturing various items connected with this wonderful parable.
