This is a specimen of the highest degree of punishment in the Christian republic, adapted to those early times.-ὄλεθρον, destruction) death although not sudden. The Hebrew word כרת corresponds to it: comp. ch. 1Co 11:30.-τῆς σαρκὸς, of the flesh) with which he had sinned. [1Pe 4:6; comp. as to the Spirit, Rom 8:10.-V. g.]
