This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I had no relief (ouk eschēka anesin). Perfect active indicative like that in 2Co 1:9, vivid dramatic recital, not to be treated as “for” the aorist (Robertson, Grammar, p. 896, 898ff.). He still feels the shadow of that restlessness. Anesis, from aniēmi, to let up, to hold back, is old word for relaxing or release (Act 24:23).
For my spirit (tōi pneumati mou). Dative of interest.
Because I found not Titus (tōi mē heurein me Titon). Instrumental case of the articular infinitive with negative mē and accusative of general reference me, “by the not finding Titus as to me.”
Taking my leave of them (apotaxamenos autois). First aorist middle participle of apotassō, old verb, to set apart, in middle in late Greek to separate oneself, to bid adieu to as in Mar 6:46.
