This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Is (γίνεται)
More literally, arises or originates.
Private (ἰδίας)
See on 2Pe 1:3. His own. Rev., special, in margin.
Interpretation (ἐπιλύσεως)
Only here in New Testament. Compare the cognate verb expounded (Mar 4:34 :) and determined (Act 19:39). The usual word is ἑρμηνεία (1Co 12:10; 1Co 14:26). Literally, it means loosening, untying, as of hard knots of scripture.
