35.1 πάντα ὑπέδειξα ὑμῖν, ὅτι οὕτω
κοπιῶντας δεῖ ἀντιλαμβάνεσθαι τῶν ἀσθενούντων, μνημονεύειν τε τῶν
λόγων τοῦ Κυρίου ᾿Ιησοῦ, ὅτι αὐτὸς εἶπε, “ Μακάριόν ἐστι διδόναι
1 Lach. and Blass add παντα to the previous verse, so Overbeck, Nosgen, Bethge
(Wendt doubtful).
For των λογων LP read tov λογον; Bengel του λογου; no doubt changes made because only one saying is quoted.
D1, Gig. read µακαριος
εστι μαλλον διδ. η λαμβ. ; Blass in B reads µακαριον padAov τον διδοντα υπερ τον λαμβανοντα; cf. Const. Apost., iv., 3, µακαριον ειπεν ειναι τον διδοντα ηπερ
(υπερ Anastas. Sin.) τον λαµβανοντα.
fer to λόγος, yet the λόγος cannot be said δοῦναι κληρ. To the latter phrase Bethge, p. 158, strives to find some Scriptural analogies in the work attributed to 6 λόγος, cf. 1 Cor. i. 18, John xii. 48. But it is best and simplest on the whole to regard the entire phrase τῷ Θ. καὶ To A. as one, ‘‘ quasi una notio sunt; agit enim Deus per verbum suum,” Blass; so Page. ---ἐποικοδ., Ephes. ii. 20, in the passive, see critical note. Whether we read the compound or the simple verb, the meta- phor of building is prominent in the Ephesian Epistle ii. 21, iv. 12, 16, 29, as also in 1 Cor., ¢f. iii. το (2), 12, 143 iii. 9, Xiv. 3, 5, 12, 26, and cf. 2 Cor. v. 1, x. 8, xii. το, xiii. 10. See note above on ix. 31. τὴν κληρ., vii. 5, see note; no- where else in Acts, cf. for the thought Ephes. iii. 18, i. rx; and words elsewhere spoken by St. Paul, Acts xxvi. 18; the word itself occurs three times in Ephe- sians, i. 14, 18, v. 5. In Ephes. iii. 18 we have closely conjoined with «Anp. the ἡ βασιλ. τοῦ χ., cf. St. Paul’s words ver. 25 above. The word is frequent in Psalms of Solomon, cf. xiv. 6, 7, where the inheritance of the saints is contrasted with the inheritance of sinners in the Messianic consummation, and also xv. 11, 12, xvii. 26; see further on the word, Kennedy, p. 100.
Ver. 33. Cf. τ Sam. xii. 3, ἵματ., fre- quent in LXX, in N.T. only in Luke and Paul (except John xix. 24, quotation) ; Luke vii. 25, ix. 29, 1 Tim. ii. g. In 1 Macc. xi. 24 we have silver, gold and raiment, joined together as in this verse, describing Eastern riches, cf. James v. 2, 3.—éare®., ‘he takes away that which is the root of all evil, the love of money”’; he says not ‘‘I have not taken,” but εεποί even coveted,” Chrys., Hom., xlv.
Ver. 34. αὐτοὶ: placed first for em- phasis, so too emphasised in ii. 22, xvi. 37, xviii. 15. In x Cor. iv. 12 we may see an undesigned coincidence, and ¢f. the word κοπιῶντας in ver. 35, Paley, Η.Ρ., iii., 6.---ταῖς χρείαις µου καὶ τοῖς οὖσι per ἐμοῦ: so the work of the
Christian convert ἐργαζ. τὸ ay. ταῖς χερσίν is to be done ἵνα ἔχῃ µεταδιδόναι τῷ χρείαν ἔχοντι, Ephes. iv. 28, and for the word χρεία as used by St. Paul else- where in same sense, cf. Rom. xii. 13, Phil. ii. 25, iv. 16, Tit. iii. τᾳ.-- ὑπηρέ- τησαν: only in Acts xiii. 36, used by Paul, xxiv. 23, used of Paul (cf. τ Cor. iv. 1); Wisd. xvi. 24.--αὗται: “callosz, ut videtis,’” Bengel, so Blass; quite in Paul’s manner, cf. xxvi. 29, xxvili. 20; so also πάντα, 1 Cor. ix. 25, x. 33, xi. 2, Ephes. iv. 15. Paul pursued his trade at Ephesus probably with Aquila and Priscilla, possibly with Philemon, Philem. ver 17:
Ver. 35. πάντα ὑπέδ.: ‘in all things I gave you an example,” R.V., see also critical note. The verb and the cognate noun are both used in Greek in accor- dance with this sense, Xen., Oec., xii., 18, Isocr., v., 27, see Plummer on Luke lil. 7, etc., so ὑπόδειγμα, Xen., De re eq., li., 2, and for other instances of the similar use of the word see Westcott on Heb. viii. 5, Ecclus. xliv. 16, 2 Macc. vi. 28, 31, 4 Macc. xvii. 23, cf. also Clem. Rom., Cor., v., 1, xlvi., 1. οὕτως, {.ε., as I have done, cf. Phil. iii. τ7.--κοπι- ὤντας: not of spiritual labours, but of manual, as the context requires. No doubt the verb is used in the former sense, 1 Cor. xvi. 16, Rom. xvi. 12, τ Thess. v. 12, but also in the latter, 1 Cor. iv. 12, Ephes. iv. 28, 2 Tim. Π. 6 (so also κόπος by Paul). In St. Paul’s writings it occurs no less than fourteen times, in St. Luke only twice, Luke v. 5 (xii. 27). In classical Greek, so in Jose- phus, it has the meaning of growing weary or tired, but in LXX and N.T. alone, laboro viribus intentis (Grimm). ---δεῖ, see above on p. 63.--ἄντιλαμβ.: only in Luke and Paul, Luke i. 54, 1 Tim. vi. 2, ef. 1 Cor. xii. 28. The’ verb = to take another’s part, to succour (so too cognate noun), in LXX, Isa. xli. ο, Ecclus:11.', '6,, η. το κκ. ο 20, OF helping the poor, cf. also Psalms of Solomon, xvi. 3, 5, vii. 9, see further Psalms
