Ver. g confirms by the language of Scripture (καθὼς γέγραπται) what has just been said. The verse is open to three different constructions: (1) It seems best to treat the relatives, a, ὅσα, as in apposition to the foregoing ἣν clauses of vv. 7, 8 (the form of the pro-

noun being dictated by the LXX original), and thus supplying a further obj. to the emphatically repeated λαλοῦμεν of vv. 6, 7: ‘but (we speak), as it is written, things which eye,” etc. (so Er., Mr., An αἱ ρα VE Bt) 2 ΙΓ Ἐν, alter Lachmann, prefix the whole sentence to ἀπεκάλυψεν of νετ. 10; but this sub- ordination requires the doubtful reading δέ (for γάρ) in ver. 10, to which it im- properly extends the ref. of the formula καθὼς γέγραπται, while it breaks the continuity between the quotation and the foregoing assertions (cf. i. το, 31). (3) Bg., D.W., Gd., Lt., and others, see an anacoluthon here, and supply ἐστίν, factum est, or the like, as a peg for the ver. to hang upon, as in Rom. xv. 3— “ But, as it is written, (there have come to pass) things which eye,” etc. This, however, seems needless after the pro- minent λαλοῦμεν, and weakens the con- catenation of vv. 6-9. The ἀλλὰ follows on the οὐδεὶς of ver. 8, as ἀλλὰ in νετ. 7 (see note) on the ov of ver. 6. The entire sentence may be thus arranged :—
λαλοῦμεν Θεοῦ σοφίαν . . . τ. ἄποκε- κρυµµένην, ἣν προώρισεν ὁ Θεὸς κ.τ.λ., ἣν ovdels τ. ἀρχόντων ... ἔγνωκν κ.τ.λ." GAG... ἃ ὀφθαλμὸς οὐκ εἶδεν .. « ὅσα ἠτοίμασεν 6 Θεὸς τ. ἄγα- πῶσιν αὐτόν. The words cited do not appear, connect- edly, in the O.T. Of the four clauses, the 1st, 2nd, and 4th recall Isai. Ixiv. 4 f. (Heb., 3 f.)—after the Hebrew text; the 3rd occurs in a similar strain in Isai. Ixv. 17 (LXX, 16); see other paris. In
thought, as Hf. and Bt. point out, this passage corresponds to Isai. Ixiv.: in P. God does, as in Isaiah He is besought to do, things unlooked for by the world, to the confusion of its unbelief; in each case these things are done for fit per- sons—Isaiah’s ‘him that waiteth for Him,” etc., being translated into Paul’s “those that love Him”; ἐποίησεν is changed to ἠτοίμασεν, in conformity with προώρισεν (7). A further analogy appears between the “terrible things in righteousness” which the prophet fore- sees in the coming theophany, and the καταργεῖν that P. announces for ‘ the tulers of this world”. Clement of Rome (ad Cor., xxxiv. 8) cites the text briefly as a Christian saying, but reverts from Paul’s τ. ἀγαπῶσιν to the Isaianic τ. ὑπομένου- σιν αὐτόν, manifestly identifying the O. and N.T. sayings.
