OT-POET.filter - rwp 5:42:

rwp@Galatians:6:8 @{Corruption} (\phthoran\). For this old word from \phtheir\, see on ¯1Corinthians:15:42|. The precise meaning turns on the context, here plainly the physical and moral decay or rottenness that follows sins of the flesh as all men know. Nature writes in one's body the penalty of sin as every doctor knows. {Eternal life} (\zn ainion\). See on ¯Matthew:25:46| for this interesting phrase so common in the Johannine writings. Plato used \ainios\ for perpetual. See also strkjv@2Thessalonians:1:9|. It comes as nearly meaning "eternal" as the Greek can express that idea.

rwp@John:5:42 @{But I know you} (\alla egnka humas\). Perfect active indicative of \ginsk\, "I have come to know and still know," the knowledge of personal experience (2:24f.|). {The love o' God} (\tn agapn tou theou\). Objective genitive, "the love toward God." See strkjv@Luke:11:42| for this phrase in the same sense (only other instance in the Gospels, but common in 1John (1John:2:5; strkjv@3:17; strkjv@4:7,9; strkjv@5:3|) and in strkjv@2Thessalonians:3:5; strkjv@2Corinthians:13:14; strkjv@Romans:5:5|. The sense of God's love for man occurs in strkjv@1John:3:1; strkjv@4:9,10,16; strkjv@John:15:9f.| of Christ's love for man. These rabbis did not love God and hence did not love Christ.

rwp@Mark:5:42 @{Rose up, and walked} (\anest kai periepatei\). Aorist tense (single act) followed by the imperfect ({the walking went on}). {For she was twelve years old} (\n gar etn ddeka\). The age mentioned by Mark alone and here as explanation that she was old enough to walk. {Amazed} (\exestsan\). We have had this word before in strkjv@Matthew:12:23| and strkjv@Mark:2:12|, which see. Here the word is repeated in the substantive in the associative instrumental case (\ekstasei megali\), with a great ecstasy, especially on the part of the parents (Luke:8:56|), and no wonder.

rwp@Matthew:7:12 @{That men should do unto you} (\hina poisin hmn hoi anthrpoi\). Luke (Luke:6:31|) puts the Golden Rule parallel with strkjv@Matthew:5:42|. The negative form is in Tobit strkjv@4:15. It was used by Hillel, Philo, Isocrates, Confucius. "The Golden Rule is the distilled essence of that 'fulfilment' (5:17|) which is taught in the sermon" (McNeile). Jesus puts it in positive form.
