This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
And that as good as dead (kai tauta nenekrōmenou). Accusative of general reference (tauta), sometimes singular as in 1Co 6:8. The perfect passive participle from nekroō, late verb to make dead, to treat as dead (Rom 4:19), here by hyperbole.
By the sea shore (para to cheilos tēs thalassēs). “Along the lip of the sea” (from Gen 22:17), cheilos here alone in this sense in the N.T.
Innumerable (anarithmētos). Old compound verbal adjective (alpha privative and arithmeō, to number), here alone in N.T.
