This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Luk 12:4. Φίλοις, my friends) A faithful counsel, and a spur to strength of resolution, and a conciliatory appellation, which is intended to temper the severity (sternness) of His language respecting a difficult and hard matter. In war, a General addresses his soldiers whilst doing battle by the kindly title, Brothers [in arms, fellow-soldiers], etc.-[μὴ φοβηθῆτε, Be not afraid of) in your confession of the truth.-V. g.]-τὸ σῶμα, κ.τ.λ.) Μείωσις.-μετὰ, after) The after [He hath killed], in Luk 12:5, corresponds to this after.
