Rom. iv. 23 f.)—(to wit), that the plough- ing (ox) ought to plough in hope, and the threshing (ox) in hope of partaking” (ἐπ᾽ ἐλπίδι τοῦ µετέχειν). The explana- tory ὅτι clause (cf. i. 5, 26, iv. g and note) restates and amplifies the previous quotation. The Ap. is not explaining how the command came to be given (‘‘because,”” E.V.), but unfolding the principle that lies in it.—The right of the ox in threshing also belongs in equity to the ox at the plough; all contributors to the harvest are included, whether at an earlier or later stage.—dgetAer, em- phatic—debet (Vg.): the hope of partici- pation in the fruit is dwe to the labourer —beast or man. The moral, as applied to Christian teachers, is obvious; it em- braces the successive stages of the com- mon work (cf. iii. 9, John iv. 36).— apotpigy (sometimes “to sow”; so El. and some others here) contains the root of the Lat. avo and older Eng. ear.

Et, i., 4)—a kind of litotes, suggesting where one might have vigor- ously asserted. The repeated colloca- tion ἡμεῖς ὑμῖν, ἡμεῖς ὑμῶν, brings out the personal nature of this claim: “We sowed for you the things of the Spirit; should not we reap from you the (needed) carnal things ?””—ra πνευματικὰ (cf. ii. 12, xii. 1-13, Rom. viii. 2, 5 f., Gal.
