its cognates προσωπολημπτής (Acts x. 34), προσωπολημπτέω (Jas. ii. 9), ἄπροσ- ωπολήμπτως (I Pet. i. 17), are Hellen- istic forms, occurring only in biblical and ecclesiastical Greek. προσωπολημ- Ψία itself is found only four times in the NT (Rom. ii. 11; Eph. vi. 9; Col. iii. 25; Jamesii. 1). Cf. also the phrases βλέπειν εἰς πρόσωπον (Matt. xxvi. 16; Mark xii. 14), λαμβάνειν πρόσωπον (Luke xx. 21; Gal. ii, 6), which in the NT have always a badmeaning,—to judge partially, to have regard to the person in judging or treating one. In the LXX the phrase λαμβάνειν or θαυμάζειν πρόσωπον is also used in the sense of having respect to one’s person, being partial (e.g., Job xxxii. 21, where it is conjoined with giving flatter- ing titles), but admits at the same time of the better sense of showing favour to one (Gen. xix. 21).
Vv. 10-20. General concluding ex- hortation, following up the injunctions bearing on the particular, domestic duties. This comprehensive charge, which is ex- pressed in terms of the Christian’s spiritual warfare, the powers of evil with which he has to contend, and the weapons with which he is to arm himself, brings the Epistle worthily to its close.
Ver. 10. τὸ λοιπόν [ἀδελφοί] pov, ἐνδυναμοῦσθε [δυναμοῦσθε] ἐν Κυρίῳ: finally (or, henceforth) [my brethren], be strengthened in the Lord, For τὸ λοιπόν, the reading of TR with ΡΕΚΙ ΑΝ”, etc., τοῦ λοιποῦ, is to be preferred (with LTTr WHRY\V) as sustained by ΕΝΑ, 17, etc.
The form τὸ λοιπόν (also the simple λοι- πόν) is used in classical Greek both as = "ας for the rest,”’ quod superest, “ finally’’ and with the temporal sense of henceforth. In the NT it has both these applications (εσ., Phil. 111:.2, iv. 8; 2 Thess. 111. 2, etc., for the former, and Matt. xiv. 41, xxvi. 45; I Cor. vii. 29; Heb. x. 13 for the latter). It occurs also once in the sense of “ αἱ last,” or ‘‘already”’ (Acts xxvii. 20). The form τοῦ λοιποῦ, properly a temporal gen., both in classical Greek (Herod., 11., 2: Xen., Cy7., iv., 4, το, etc.) and in the NT (Gal. vi. 17), has the sense of “henceforth”. τὸ λοιπόν can be used for τοῦ λοιποῦ, but it does not appear that τοῦ λοιποῦ is equally interchange- able with τὸ λοιπόν. Here τὸ λοιπόν might mean either “as for what you have still to do in addition to what has been said” (Mey.), or ‘“ henceforth "". τοῦ λοιποῦ is=“ in the future,” “ hence- forth” (cf. Blass, Gram. of N. T. Greek, ΡΡ. 94, 109; Ell. on Gal. vi. 17; Thayer- Grimm, Lex., p. 382). The TR inserts ἀδελφοί pov, with 9 ΚΙ, most cursives, and Syr., Boh., etc. ἀδελφοί, without μον, is read by AFG, Vulg., Theodor., etc. But the best accredited text (ΒΒ Ὁ, 17, Eth., Arm., Cyr., Luc.. Jer., etc.) omits the phrase (so LTTrWHRV). The ἐνδυναμοῦσθε of the TR is supported by the mass of authorities, but is displaced by the simple δυναμοῦσθε (which occurs in Col. i. 11) in B 17; which latter is given a place in the margin by WH. ἐνδυναμοῦσθαι is a proper passive = “ to
