Php 4:18. Ἀπέχω) The apostle’s receipt.[58]-περισσεύω, I abound) Behold the contented and grateful mind!-τὰ παρʼ ὑμῶν, the things (which came) from you) They had sent money or clothes and what might be serviceable.-ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας, the odour of a sweet smell) He describes their conduct by a beautiful figure.-θυσίαν, a sacrifice) Heb 13:16.
[58] ‘Apocha’ may either be his acknowledgment of having received in full the debt of kindness due to him from them, or else Beng. uses ἀποχὴ as Epictetus for forbearance, moderation in desires. In the ‘apocha’ there is a direct allusion to the ἀπέχω of the text.-ED.
