(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

For if these things are yours and abound (tauta gar humin huparchonta kai pleonazonta). Present active circumstantial (conditional) participles neuter plural of huparchō and pleonazō (see 1Th 3:12) with dative case humin, “these things existing for you (or in you) and abounding.”

They make you to be (kathistēsin). “Render” (present active indicative of kathistēmi, old verb, Jam 3:6), singular because tauta neuter plural.

Not idle nor unfruitful (ouk argous oude akarpous). Accusative predicative plural with humas understood, both adjectives with alpha privative, for argos see Jam 2:20 and for akarpos Mat 13:22.

Knowledge (epignōsin). “Full (additional) knowledge” as in 2Pe 1:2.
