A specimen of godly physiognomy.-τῳ Θεῷ, to God) So the LXX., 1Sa 16:12, ἀγαθὸς ὁράσει Κυρίῳ: Jon 3:3, πόλις μεγάλη τῷ Θεῷ. Whatever excellent thing there is, derives its excellence from the Divine gift.-μῆνας τρεῖς, three months) They might have thought that their labour is vain, that the child notwithstanding must perish; but they undertook the labour, and the matter eventuated in a successful result very far beyond their hope.-πατρὸς) viz. αὐτοῦ. So 1Co 5:1; Gal 4:2.
