This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Foreknew
See on Rom 8:29.
Or (ἢ)
Compare Rom 6:3; Rom 7:1. Confirming what precedes by presenting the only alternative in the cave. Or is omitted in the A.V.
Wot ye not (οὐκ οἴδατε)
Why should the Revisers have retained the obsolete wot here, when they have rendered elsewhere, know ye not? See Rom 6:16; 1Co 3:16; 1Co 5:6, 1Co 6:2, etc. The phrase indicates that this cannot be thought of as true.
Of Elias (ἐν Ἡλίᾳ)
Wrong; though Rev. has retained it: of Elijah, with in in margin; probably in order to avoid the awkward circumlocution in the passage treating of Elijah, or the ambiguous in Elijah. See on in the bush, Mar 12:26. Thucydides (i. 9) says: “Homer, in 'The handing down of the sceptre,' said,” etc.; i.e., in the passage describing the transmission of the sceptre in the second book of the Iliad. A common form of quotation in the rabbinical writings. The passage cited is 1Ki 19:10, 1Ki 19:14.
He maketh intercession (ἐντυγχάνει)
See on Rom 8:26. Rev., pleadeth.
