Kara, ' throughout,' ' according to ' (Lk 15" ' a famine in that land,' Mt 1^° 'in a dream').

irpo's, 'towards,' direction (Lk 12^ 'spoken in the ear ').

to-u, adverb, within (Mt 26^" 'entered in').

£irC, 'on,' 'upon,' 'over.' The RV has followed the more restricted use of ' in ' in many cases, and substituted 'on,' 'upon,' 'at,' 'over,' 'by,' 'unto,' 'to' (Mte'" 'thy will be done in earth' [RV 'on earth'], W 'in [RV 'at'] the mouth of two or three witnesses,' 2~ 'reigning in [RV 'over'] Judica,' 211" .in [Ry 'by'] the way,' 13" 'in [RV •unto'] them is fulfilled the ]iropliecy,' Mk S^^ 'knowing what was <lone in [KV ■|o]"her'); but in some cases 'in' is rciaincd, \\lieie Knglish idiom requires it, and ^\ here (lie sense is not liable to be mistaken (with the -enitive, Mk s^ 'in the wilderness' [RV 'in a de.sert place'], ll'' 'in a place where two ways met ' [RV ' in the open street'], and, with the dative, Mt 14^ 'in a charger,' Mk lO'--* 'trust in riches,' Lk 18" 'trusted in themselves that they were righteous,' i.e. rested their confidence of being righteous upon them- selves). For iiri with 6voij.a see lielow.

els, ' into,' ' with reference to,' ' with a view to ' : («) = ' into,' locally or figuratively, often after verbs of rest, where previous motion and direction are implied (Mt 2^ 'came and dwelt in a city,'Jn 9' ' go wash in the pool,' Mt 10=' ' what ye hear in the ear,' 13^^ ' hid in three measures of meal,' Mk 1" 'baptized in the Jordan,' 5** 'go in peace,' Jn 1'* ' which is in the bosom of the Fatlier ' — eis t6v K6X?roi' — i.e. placed in the Father's bosom and there abiding) ; (6) = ' with respect to,' ' with a view to ' (Lk 22" 'in remembrance of me,' 16' 'wiser in their generatit)n ' [RV ' for their generation ']). After TTiffTei'.w, ' heli.xe,' els is largely used (Mt IS*, Jnli='223 3'» elc.) ill' or -on- in A\', in RV in- variably 'on': i( iiii|ilirs the dirccdon in which the believing soul turns, (he fellowshi]i into which itfenters.

he that conieth in the name of the Lord ' (Mt 21* 23=", Mk IP, Lk 13** 19=*), St. Paul and the Fourth Gospel prevailingly employ iv, and use eis only after vurTevtu or fiairTiiu. The prepositions have their ow-n nuance of meaning ; the Synoptic ^Tri rifi (ii-A/iaTt /iou (Mt IS'* 24S Mk 9*^- *" etc.) indicates dependence of some one on another, the authoritj' on wliich one leans ; eh rA 6voiia, in reference to, or in view of, what the name imports (Mt 10" ' re- ceive a prophet in the name of a prophet ' = in view of his propnetic character or function, 18™ ' two or three gathered together in my name ' = not, by My authority, but, in view of My name, with the view of honouring Me ; and ^x riji 6v6naTi, by a uthority, clothed with the commission, of some one (Mt 2P ' cometh in the name of the Lord '), or even by the use of the name, as contraste<l with tl\.' ;iinhoritj' (Mk 9^* ' we saw one casting out ' - ■ > name,'

i.e. using the name of Jesuf- ' \nrcist

might). The very obvious [iii i. an li St. Paul and the Fourth Gospel r,hu\\ lui t.- und the corresponding eis may well be couueuteil with the idea of intimate mystic communion which influ- ences all their religious thought. In the gieat majority of cases ev dud/uin indicates not so much the authority, as the union and fellowship on which the authority is founded (Jn 17'- 'I kept them in thy name,' 20^' 'that believing ye may have life in his name,' 1 Co 6" 'ju.stilied in the name of the Lord Jesus,' where iv has the same pregnant meaning as in the phrase iv Xpicru 'lr]<roC) ; and ei's t6 oyofia after Tio-Tet'/u and jSaTTTfj-u like^^ise indicates the communion into which the baptized believer enters (Jn 2-" ' many believed ei's to foo/ta airroV,' Ro 6', Gal 3" 'baptized into Christ'; so probably Mt 28" ' baptizing them into the name of the Father,' etc.).

In one or two cases ' in ' is used to translate Ik and (icToi, but the RV renders these more pre- cisely 'from' and 'with.' It is also used as part- translation where a single Greek word is rendered by a phrase (Jn 8* 2=", Lk 10« W etc.).
