rwp@
1Corinthians:12:26 @{Suffer with it} (\sunpaschei\). Medical term in this sense in Hippocrates and Galen. In N.T only here and strkjv@Romans:8:17| (of our suffering with Christ). One of Solon's Laws allowed retaliation by any one for another's injuries. Plato (_Republic_, V, 462) says the body politic "feels the hurt" as the whole body feels a hurt finger. {Rejoice with it} (\sunchairei\). This is fortunately true also. One may tingle with joy all over the body thanks to the wonderful nervous system and to the relation between mind and matter. See strkjv@13:6| for joy of love with truth.
rwp@Galatians:4:10 @{Ye observe} (\paratreisthe\). Present middle indicative of old verb to stand beside and watch carefully, sometimes with evil intent as in strkjv@Luke:6:7|, but often with scrupulous care as here (so in Dio Cassius and Josephus). The meticulous observance of the Pharisees Paul knew to a nicety. It hurt him to the quick after his own merciful deliverance to see these Gentile Christians drawn into this spider-web of Judaizing Christians, once set free, now enslaved again. Paul does not itemize the "days" (Sabbaths, fast-days, feast-days, new moons) nor the "months" (Isaiah:66:23|) which were particularly observed in the exile nor the "seasons" (passover, pentecost, tabernacles, etc.) nor the "years" (sabbatical years every seventh year and the Year of Jubilee). Paul does not object to these observances for he kept them himself as a Jew. He objected to Gentiles taking to them as a means of salvation.
rwp@Galatians:4:16 @{Your enemy} (\echthros humn\). Active sense of \echthros\, hater with objective genitive. They looked on Paul now as an enemy to them. Songs:the Pharisees and Judaizers generally now regarded him. {Because I tell you the truth} (\altheun humin\). Present active participle of \altheu\, old verb from \alths\, true. In N.T. only here and strkjv@Ephesians:4:15|. "Speaking the truth." It is always a risky business to speak the truth, the whole truth. It may hit and hurt.
rwp@Hebrews:13:17 @{Obey} (\peithesthe\). Present middle imperative of \peith\ with dative case. {Submit} (\hupeikete\). Present active imperative of \hupeik\, old compound to yield under, to give up. Here only in N.T. {They watch} (\agrupnousin\). Present active indicative of \agrupne\ old verb (from \agre\, to search, \hupnos\, sleep), to seek after sleep, to be sleepless, be watchful (Mark:13:33|). {As they that shall give account} (\hs logon apodsontes\). Regular Greek idiom with \hs\ and the future participle. For \logon apodidmi\, to render account, see strkjv@Matthew:12:36|. These leaders as good shepherds recognize keenly their responsibility for the welfare of the flock. {And not with grief} (\kai m stenazontes\). "And not groaning" (cf. strkjv@Romans:8:23|). {Unprofitable} (\alusiteles\). Old double compound adjective (alpha privative and \lusitels\ and this from \lu\, to pay, and \telos\, tax, useful or profitable as strkjv@Luke:17:2|), not profitable, not advantageous, by _litotes_, hurtful, pernicious. Common rhetorical _litotes_, here only in N.T.
rwp@John:13:10 @{He that is bathed} (\ho leloumenos\). Perfect passive articular participle of \lou\, to bathe the whole body (Acts:9:37|). {Save to wash his feet} (\ei m tous podas nipsasthai\). Aleph and some old Latin MSS. have only \nipsasthai\, but the other words are genuine and are really involved by the use of \nipsasthai\ (first aorist middle infinitive of \nipt\, to wash parts of the body) instead of \lousasthai\, to bathe the whole body (just used before). The guest was supposed to bathe (\lou\) before coming to a feast and so only the feet had to be washed (\nipt\) on removing the sandals. {Clean} (\katharos\). Because of the bath. For \katharos\ meaning external cleanliness see strkjv@Matthew:23:26; strkjv@27:59;| but in strkjv@John:15:3| it is used for spiritual purity as here in "ye are clean" (\katharoi\). {Every whit} (\holos\). All of the body because of the bath. For this same predicate use of \holos\ see strkjv@9:34|. {But not all} (\all' ouchi pantes\). Strongly put exception (\ouchi\). Plain hint of the treachery of Judas who is reclining at the table after having made the bargain with the Sanhedrin (Mark:14:11|). A year ago Jesus knew that Judas was a devil and said to the apostles: "One of you is a devil" (6:64,70|). But it did not hurt them then nor did they suspect each other then or now. It is far-fetched to make Jesus here refer to the cleansing power of his blood or to baptism as some do.
rwp@Luke:4:35 @{Had thrown him down in the midst} (\rhipsan auton eis to meson\). First aorist (effective) participle of \rhipt\, an old verb with violent meaning, to fling, throw, hurl off or down. {Having done him no hurt} (\mden blapsan auton\). Luke as a physician carefully notes this important detail not in Mark. \Blapt\, to injure, or hurt, occurs in the N.T. only here and in strkjv@Mark:16:18|, though a very common verb in the old Greek.
rwp@Matthew:14:9 @{Grieved} (\luptheis\). Not to hurt, for in verse 5| we read that he wanted (\theln\) to put him to death (\apokteinai\). Herod, however, shrank from so dastardly a deed as this public display of brutality and bloodthirstiness. Men who do wrong always have some flimsy excuses for their sins. A man here orders a judicial murder of the most revolting type "for the sake of his oath" (\dia tous horkous\). "More like profane swearing than deliberate utterance once for all of a solemn oath" (Bruce). He was probably maudlin with wine and befuddled by the presence of the guests.
rwp@Revelation:9:4 @{It was said} (\erreth\). First aorist passive indicative of \eipon\. {That they should not hurt} (\hina m adiksousin\). Sub-final (object clause subject of \erreth\) with \hina m\ and the future active of \adike\ as in strkjv@3:9; strkjv@8:3|. Vegetation had been hurt sufficiently by the hail (8:7|). {But only such men as} (\ei m tous anthrpous hoitines\). "Except (elliptical use of \ei m\, if not, unless) the men who (the very ones who)." For this use of \hostis\ see strkjv@1:7; strkjv@2:24; strkjv@20:4|. {The seal of God upon their foreheads} (\tn sphragida tou theou epi tn metpn\). Provided for in strkjv@7:3ff|. "As Israel in Egypt escaped the plagues which punished their neighbours, so the new Israel is exempted from the attack of the locusts of the Abyss" (Swete).
