rwp@1Peter:5:8 @{Be watchful} (\grgorsate\). First aorist active imperative of \grgore\, late present imperative from perfect \egrgora\ (to be awake) from \egeir\ (to arouse), as in strkjv@Matthew:24:42|. For \npsate\ see strkjv@1:13; strkjv@4:7|. {Your adversary} (\ho antidikos humn\). Old word for opponent in a lawsuit (Matthew:5:25|). {The devil} (\diabolos\). Slanderer. See on ¯Matthew:4:1|. {As a roaring lion} (\hs ruomenos len\). But Jesus is also pictured as the Lion of the tribe of Judah (Revelation:5:5|). But Satan {roars} at the saints. Present middle participle \ruomai\, old verb, here only in N.T., to howl like a wolf, dog, or lion, of men to sing loud (Pindar). See strkjv@Psalms:22:13|. {Whom he may devour} (\katapiein\). Second aorist active infinitive of \katapin\, to drink down. B does not have \tina\, Aleph has \tina\ (somebody), "to devour some one," while A has interrogative \tina\, "whom he may devour" (very rare idiom). But the devil's purpose is the ruin of men. He is a "peripatetic" (\peripatei\) like the peripatetic philosophers who walked as they talked. Satan wants all of us and sifts us all (Luke:22:31|).

rwp@2Corinthians:1:10 @{Out of so great a death} (\ek tlikoutou thanatou\). He had considered himself as good as dead. {Delivered} (\erusato\) {--will deliver} (\rusetai\). Old verb \ru\, middle, \ruomai\, draw oneself, as out of a pit, rescue. Songs:Paul faces death without fear. {On whom we have set our hope} (\eis hon lpikamen\). Perfect active indicative of \elpiz\. We still have that hope, emphasized by \eti rusetai\ (he will still deliver).

rwp@2Peter:2:7 @{And delivered} (\kai erusato\). First aorist middle of \ruomai\ as in strkjv@Matthew:6:13|, still part of the protasis with \ei\. {Righteous Lot} (\dikaion Lot\). This adjective \dikaios\ occurs three times in verses 7,8|. See Wisdom strkjv@10:6. {Sore distressed} (\kataponoumenon\). Present passive participle of \katapone\, late and common verb, to work down, to exhaust with labor, to distress, in N.T. only here and strkjv@Acts:7:24|. {By the lascivious life of the wicked} (\hupo ts tn athesmn en aselgeii anastrophs\). "By the life in lasciviousness of the lawless." \Athesmos\ (alpha privative and \thesmos\), late and common adjective (cf. \athemitos\ strkjv@1Peter:4:3|) for rebels against law (of nature and conscience here). \Anastroph\ is frequent in I Peter.

rwp@2Timothy:3:11 @{What things befell me} (\hoia moi egeneto\). Qualitative relative (\hoia\) referring to actual experiences of Paul (\egeneto\, second aorist middle indicative of \ginomai\) more fully described in strkjv@2Corinthians:11:30-33|. The Acts of the Apostles tell of his experiences in Antioch in Pisidia (Acts:13:14,45,50|), in Iconium (Acts:14:1-5|), in Lystra (Acts:14:6-19|). See also strkjv@Galatians:2:11|. {What persecutions I endured} (\hoious digmous hupnegka\). Qualitative relative again with \digmous\. The verb is first aorist active indicative of \hupopher\, old verb, to bear under as in strkjv@1Corinthians:10:13|. {Delivered me} (\me erusato\). First aorist middle of \ruomai\, old verb, with \ek\ here as in strkjv@1Thessalonians:1:10|. Used again of the Lord Jesus in strkjv@4:18|.

rwp@2Timothy:4:17 @{But the Lord stood by me} (\ho de kurios moi parest\). Second aorist active of \paristmi\ (intransitive use), "took his stand by my side." See strkjv@Romans:16:2|. Clearly Jesus appeared to Paul now at this crisis and climax as he had done so many times before. {Strengthened me} (\enedunamsen me\). "Poured power into me." See strkjv@Phillipians:4:13|. {That through me the message might be fully proclaimed} (\hina di' emou to krugma plrophorthi\). Final clause with \hina\ and first aorist passive subjunctive of \plrophore\ (see verse 5|). Either to the rulers in Rome now or, if the first imprisonment, by his release and going to Spain. {And that all the Gentiles might hear} (\kai akoussin panta ta ethn\). Continuation of the purpose with the aorist active subjunctive of \akou\. {I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion} (\erusthn ek stomatos leontos\). First aorist passive indicative of \ruomai\ (1Thessalonians:1:10|). A proverb, but not certain what the application is whether to Nero or to Satan (1Thessalonians:2:18|) or to the lion in the arena where Paul could not be sent because a Roman citizen.

rwp@Colossians:1:13 @{Delivered} (\erusato\). First aorist middle indicative of \ruomai\, old verb, to rescue. This appositional relative clause further describes God the Father's redemptive work and marks the transition to the wonderful picture of the person and work of Christ in nature and grace in verses 14-20|, a full and final answer to the Gnostic depreciation of Jesus Christ by speculative philosophy and to all modern efforts after a "reduced" picture of Christ. God rescued us out from (\ek\) the power (\exousias\) of the kingdom of darkness (\skotous\) in which we were held as slaves. {Translated} (\metestsen\). First aorist active indicative of \methistmi\ and transitive (not intransitive like second aorist \metest\). Old word. See strkjv@1Corinthians:13:2|. Changed us from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light. {Of the Son of his love} (\tou huiou ts agaps autou\). Probably objective genitive (\agaps\), the Son who is the object of the Father's love like \agaptos\ (beloved) in strkjv@Matthew:3:17|. Others would take it as describing love as the origin of the Son which is true, but hardly pertinent here. But Paul here rules out the whole system of aeons and angels that the Gnostics placed above Christ. It is Christ's Kingdom in which he is King. He has moral and spiritual sovereignty.

rwp@Revelation:10:2 @{And he had} (\kai echn\). This use of the participle in place of \eichen\ (imperfect) is like that in strkjv@4:7f.; strkjv@12:2; strkjv@19:12; strkjv@21:12,14|, a Semitic idiom (Charles), or as if \katabainn\ (nominative) had preceded in place of \katabainonta\. {A little book} (\biblaridion\). A diminutive of \biblarion\ (papyri), itself a diminutive of \biblion\ (5:1|) and perhaps in contrast with it, a rare form in Hermas and strkjv@Revelation:10:2,9,10|. In strkjv@10:8| Tischendorf reads \biblidarion\, diminutive of \biblidion\ (Aristophanes) instead of \biblion\ (Westcott and Hort). The contents of this little book are found in strkjv@11:1-13|. {Open} (\neigmenon\). See strkjv@Ezekiel:2:9f|. Perfect (triple reduplication) passive participle of \anoig\, in contrast to the closed book in strkjv@5:1|. There also we have \epi\ (upon) \tn dexian\ (the right hand), for it was a large roll, but here the little open roll is held in the hand (\en ti cheiri\), apparently the left hand (verse 5|). {He set} (\ethken\). First aorist active indicative of \tithmi\. The size of the angel is colossal, for he bestrides both land and sea. Apparently there is no special point in the right foot (\ton poda ton dexion\) being on the sea (\epi ts thalasss\) and the left (\ton eunumon\) upon the land (\epi ts gs\). It makes a bold and graphic picture. {As a lion roareth} (\hsper len muktai\). Only instance of \hsper\ in the Apocalypse, but \hs\ in the same sense several times. Present middle indicative of \mukaomai\, an old onomatopoetic word from \mu\ or \moo\ (the sound which a cow utters), common for the lowing and bellowing of cattle, Latin _mugire_, but in Theocritus for the roaring of a lion as here, though in strkjv@1Peter:5:8| we have \ruomai\. Homer uses \mukaomai\ for the clangour of the shield and Aristophanes for thunder. It occurs here alone in the N.T. It does not mean that what the angel said was unintelligible, only loud. Cf. strkjv@1:10; strkjv@5:2,12; strkjv@6:10; strkjv@7:2,10|, etc.

rwp@Romans:11:26 @{And so} (\kai houts\). By the complement of the Gentiles stirring up the complement of the Jews (verses 11f.|). {All Israel} (\ps Isral\). What does Paul mean? The immediate context (use of \ps\ in contrast with \apo merous, plrma\ here in contrast with \plrma\ in verse 12|) argues for the Jewish people "as a whole." But the spiritual Israel (both Jews and Gentiles) may be his idea in accord with strkjv@9:6| (Galatians:6:16|) as the climax of the argument. At any rate we should strive for and pray for the conversion of Jews as a whole. Paul here quotes from strkjv@Isaiah:59:20f.; strkjv@27:9|. {The Deliverer} (\ho ruomenos\). Present middle articular participle of \ruomai\, to rescue, to deliver. See on ¯1Thessalonians:1:10; strkjv@2Corinthians:1:10|. The Hebrew _Goel_, the Avenger, the Messiah, the Redeemer (Deuteronomy:25:5-10; strkjv@Job:19:25; strkjv@Ruth:3:12f.|). Paul interprets it of Jesus as Messiah.

rwp@Romans:15:31 @{That I may be delivered} (\hina rusth\). First aorist passive subjunctive of \ruomai\, old verb to rescue. This use of \hina\ is the sub-final one after words of beseeching or praying. Paul foresaw trouble all the way to Jerusalem (Acts:20:23; strkjv@21:4,13|). {May be acceptable to the saints} (\euprosdektos tois hagiois gentai\). "May become (second aorist middle subjunctive of \ginomai\) acceptable to the saints." The Judaizers would give him trouble. There was peril of a schism in Christianity.
