This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
He wavered not through unbelief (ou diekrithē tēi apistiāi). First aorist passive indicative of old and common verb diakrinō, to separate, to distinguish between, to decide between, to desert, to dispute, to be divided in one’s own mind. This last sense occurs here as in Mat 21:22; Mar 11:23; Rom 14:23; Jam 1:6. “He was not divided in his mind by unbelief” (instrumental case).
Waxed strong through faith (enedunamōthē tēi pistei). First aorist passive again of endunamoō, late word to empower, to put power in, in lxx and Paul and Act 9:22.
