OT-HISTORY.filter - rwp Howbeit:

rwp@1Corinthians:14:19 @{Howbeit in church} (\alla en ekklsii\). Private ecstasy is one thing (cf. strkjv@2Corinthians:12:1-9|) but not in church worship. {That I may instruct} (\hina katchs\). Final clause with \hina\. For the rare verb \katche\ see on ¯Luke:1:4; strkjv@Acts:18:25|.

rwp@2Timothy:2:19 @{Howbeit} (\mentoi\). Strong adversative, "however." {Firm} (\stereos\). Old adjective, solid, compact, in N.T. only here, strkjv@1Peter:5:9; strkjv@Hebrews:5:12,14|. See \sterema\ in strkjv@Colossians:2:5|. For \themelios\ see strkjv@1Corinthians:3:11; Rom strkjv@15:20; strkjv@1Timothy:6:19|. Cf. \hedraima\ in strkjv@1Timothy:3:15|. {Seal} (\sphragis\). See strkjv@1Corinthians:9:2; strkjv@Romans:4:11|. {Knoweth} (\egn\). Timeless aorist active indicative of \ginsk\. Quotation from strkjv@Numbers:16:5|. {Let every one depart} (\apostt ps\). Paraphrase of strkjv@Numbers:16:27; strkjv@Isaiah:26:13; strkjv@52:11; strkjv@Jeremiah:20:9|. Second aorist active imperative of \aphistmi\ (intransitive use), "Let every one stand off from." Probably another echo of the rebellion of Korah.

rwp@Acts:5:13 @{Durst} (\etolma\). Imperfect active of \tolma\, old verb, not to fear or shun through fear, boldly to take a stand. The fate of Ananias and Sapphira continued to hold many in check. {Join} (\kollasthai\). Present middle infinitive of \kolla\, old verb to cleave to like glue as in strkjv@Luke:15:15| which see. Seven times in Acts (9:26; strkjv@10:28; strkjv@17:34|). The outsiders (the rest) preferred, many of them, to remain outside for the present, especially the rulers. {Howbeit the people} (\all'--ho laos\). Probably individuals among the people, the populace as distinct from the rulers and hostile outsiders.

rwp@Acts:7:48 @{Howbeit} (\all'\). By contrast with what Solomon did and David planned. Note emphatic position of "not" (\all' ouch\), "But not does the Most High dwell." The presence of the Most High is not confined in any building, even one so splendid as Solomon's Temple as Solomon himself foresaw and acknowledged in his prayer (1Kings:8:27; strkjv@2Chronicles:6:18|). {In houses made with hands} (\en cheiropoitois\). No word here for "houses" or "temples" in correct text (\naois\ temples in Textus Receptus). Literally, "In things made with hands" (\cheir\, hand, \poitos\, verbal adjective of \poie\). It occurs in strkjv@Mark:14:58| of the temple and of the sanctuary of Moab (Isaiah:16:12|). It occurs also in strkjv@Acts:7:24; strkjv@Hebrews:9:11,24; strkjv@Ephesians:2:11|. Common in the old Greek. {The prophet} (\ho prophts\). strkjv@Isaiah:66:1|. Isaiah taught plainly that heaven is God's throne.

rwp@John:6:23 @{Howbeit} (\alla\). Verse 23 is really an explanatory parenthesis in this long sentence. Tiberias, capital of Herod Antipas, diagonally across the lake, is only mentioned in John in the N.T. (6:1,23; strkjv@21:1|). {Boats} (\ploia\). Called "little boats" (\ploiaria\) in verse 24|.

rwp@John:7:13 @{Howbeit} (\mentoi\). See strkjv@4:27| for this compound particle (\men, toi\), by way of exception, but yet. {Spake} (\elalei\). Imperfect active of \lale\, "was speaking," picturing the whispering or secret talk ({no man openly}, \oudeis parrsii\). Best MSS. do not have \en\ here with \parrsii\ (locative or instrumental case of manner) as in strkjv@7:26; strkjv@10:24; strkjv@11:54|, but \en\ genuine in strkjv@7:4; strkjv@Colossians:2:15|. This adverbial use of \parrsii\ is common enough (Mark:8:37|). {For fear of the Jews} (\dia ton phobon tn Ioudain\). Objective genitive. The crowds really feared the Jewish leaders and evidently did not wish to involve Jesus or themselves. See the same phrase and attitude on the part of the disciples in strkjv@19:38; strkjv@20:19|.

rwp@John:7:27 @{Howbeit} (\alla\). Clearly adversative here. {This man} (\touton\). Possibly contemptuous use of \houtos\ as may be true in 25,26|. {Whence he is} (\pothen estin\). The Galilean Jews knew the family of Jesus (6:42|), but they knew Jesus only as from Nazareth, not as born in Bethlehem (verse 42|). {When the Christ cometh} (\ho Christos hotan erchtai\). Prolepsis of \ho Christos\ and indefinite temporal clause with \hotan\ and the present middle subjunctive \erchtai\ rather than the more usual second aorist active \elthi\ as in verse 31|, a trifle more picturesque. This is a piece of popular theology. "Three things come wholly unexpected--Messiah, a godsend, and a scorpion" (_Sanhedrin_ 97a). The rulers knew the birthplace to be Bethlehem (7:42; strkjv@Matthew:2:5f.|), but some even expected the Messiah to drop suddenly from the skies as Satan proposed to Jesus to fall down from the pinnacle of the temple. The Jews generally expected a sudden emergence of the Messiah from concealment with an anointing by Elijah (_Apoc. of Bar_. XXIX. 3; 2Esdr. strkjv@7:28; strkjv@13:32; Justin Martyr, _Tryph_. 110).

rwp@John:16:13 @{Howbeit} (\de\). One of the most delicate and difficult particles to translate, varying from "and" to "but." {When he, the Spirit of truth, is come} (\hotan elthi ekeinos, to pneuma ts altheias\). Indefinite relative clause (\hotan\ and the second aorist active subjunctive of \erchomai\, no _futurum exactum_), "whenever he comes." Note \ekeinos\ (masculine demonstrative pronoun, though followed by neuter \pneuma\ in apposition. See strkjv@15:26| for this phrase about the Holy Spirit. He shall guide you (\hodgsei humas\). Future active of old verb \hodge\ (from \hodgos\, from \hodos\, way, \hgeomai\, to lead). See strkjv@Psalms:24:5| for "lead me into thy truth" (\hodgson me eis tn altheian sou\). Christ is both the Way and the Truth (14:6|) and the Holy Spirit is the Guide who shows the way to the Truth (verse 14|). This he does gradually. We are still learning the truth in Christ. {From himself} (\aph' heautou\). In this he is like Christ (1:26; strkjv@12:49; strkjv@14:10|). {He shall declare} (\anaggelei\). Future active of \anaggell\, as in strkjv@4:25|. See it also repeated in verse 14|. {The things that are yet to come} (\ta erchomena\). Neuter plural articular participle of \erchomai\, "the coming things." This phrase only here in the N.T. The things already begun concerning the work of the Kingdom (Luke:7:19ff.; strkjv@18:30|) not a chart of future history. See strkjv@Luke:7:20; strkjv@John:6:14; strkjv@11:27| for \ho erchomenos\ (the coming one) used of the Messiah.

rwp@Matthew:11:21 @{Chorazin} (\Chorazein\). Mentioned only here and in strkjv@Luke:10:13|. Proof of "the meagreness of our knowledge of Judaism in the time of Christ" (Plummer) and of the many things not told in our Gospels (John:21:25|). We know something of Bethsaida and more about Capernaum as places of privilege. But (\pln\, howbeit) neither of these cities repented, changed their conduct. Note condition of the second class, determined as unfulfilled in verses 21| and 23|.
