Robertson Word Pictures - Revelation 3:15 - 3:15


(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Neither cold (oute psuchros). Old word from psuchō, to grow cold (Mat 24:12), in N.T. only Mat 10:42 and this passage.

Nor hot (oute zestos). Late verbal from zeō, to boil, (Rom 12:11), boiling hot, here only in N.T.

I would thou wert (ophelon ēs). Wish about the present with ophelon (really ōphelon, second aorist active indicative of opheilō, without augment) with the imperfect ēs (instead of the infinitive) as in 2Co 11:1, when the old Greek used eithe or ei gar. See 1Co 4:8 for the aorist indicative and Gal 5:12 for the future.
