Introductory Notice to Two Epistles Concerning Virginity.
[351] 1 Pet. i. 15 (cf. Lev. xi. 44).
Chapter VIII.—Virgins, by the Laying Aside of All Carnal Affection, are Imitators of God.
[352] Rom. viii. 6 (φρόνημα).
[354] Lit. “the worship of idols.” The single word *** sometimes used to express “idolatry” (as in Eph. Syr., opp. tom. i. p. 116), is not found in these epistles.
[355] Lit. “much talking.”
[356] Lit. “empty words.”
[357] The word thus rendered is not in the lexicons, but is well illustrated by Isa. xxix. 21 (“that make a man an offender”), where the Hiphil of חָטָא is used, corresponding to the Aphel of the same root, from which the present word is derived.
[358] The word is used in the Peschito of 1 Tim. vi. 5, to express διαπαρατριβαί (“incessant quarrellings,” Alf.); [R.V., “wranglings.”—R.].
[359] Ex. Conject. Beelen. The word is not in the lexicons.
[360] Or “power.”
[361] Lit. “folly;” but so used in 2 Cor. xii. 13.
[362] Or “returning of evils.”
[365] 1 Pet. v. 5; Jas. iv. 6.
[369] Gen. vi. 3. [This is an example of the vicious method of interpretation, not yet extirpated, which carries Paul’s distinctive use of the term “flesh” back to the Pentateuch, where no ethical sense is necessarily implied.—R.]
[370] Rom. vii. 9. [The Apostle speaks of “the Spirit of Christ.”—R.]
