definition. As in ii. 22 the πνεῦμα here is the Holy Spirit, and the ἐν would most naturally be taken in the same sense as these. Here, however, most understand it as the instrumental év. It seems to combine the two ideas of agency and element or condition, and describes the revelation as having been made in and by the Spirit.
Ver. 6. εἶναι τὰ ἔθνη συγκληρονόμα: [to wit], that the Gentiles are fellow-heirs. The εἶναι = ave, not should be, the “‘mystery”’ or secret revealed being a fact, not a purpose, The obj. inf. ex- presses the contents or purport of the ἀποκεκαλυμμένον (Win.-Moult., p. 400). ovykAnpovépa (or συνκληρονόμα, LT Tr WHRY) = fellow-heirs with the Fews ; the only occurrence of the word in the NT in this application (for other appli- cations cf. Rom. vili. 17; Heb. xi. g; 1 Pet. iii. 7).--καὶ σύσσωμα : and fellow- members. σύσσωμος (σύνσωμος, LTTr WHRYV) in the NT occurs only here and is unknown to classical Greek, although Arist. uses συσσωματοποιεῖν (De Mundo, iv., 30). It was probably constructed by Paul for his present purpose. It means belonging jointly to the same body.—xai συμμέτοχα τῆς ἐπαγγελίας : and fellow- partakers of the promise. συμμέτοχος (συνμέτοχος, LTTrWHRYV) is found in the NT only here and inv. 7. It occurs also in Joseph. (few. Wars, i., 24, 6), and in Justin (Afol. ii., 13). The verb συμμετέχω, however, is used in clas- sical Greek (Eurip., Supp., 648; Plato, Theaet., 181 ο, etc.), although it is not found in the NT. τῆς ἐπαγγελίας, not specifically the promise of the Spirit, but,
