(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

For if ... proved steadfast (ei gar ... egeneto bebaios). Condition of first class, assumed as true.

Through angels (di' aggelōn). Allusion to the use of angels by God at Sinai as in Act 7:38, Act 7:53; Gal 3:19, though not in the O.T., but in Josephus (Ant. XV. 156).

Transgression and disobedience (parabasis kai parakoē). Both words use para as in pararuōmen, refused to obey (stepping aside, para-basis as in Rom 2:23), neglect to obey (par-akoē as in Rom 5:19), more than a mere hendiadys.

Recompense of reward (misthapodosian). Late double compound, like misthapodotēs (Heb 11:6), from misthos (reward) and apodidōmi, to give back. The old Greeks used misthodosia.

Just (endikon). Old compound adjective, in N.T. only here and Rom 3:8.
