This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat_23:25. But inwardly they (the cup and the plate) are filled from extortion and excess ( ἀκρασίας , see critical notes). That with which they are filled, viz. the wine and the meat, has been obtained through extortion and excess. Plunder (Heb_10:34, common in classical writers) and exorbitance have contributed to fill them. On γέμειν ἐκ , see on Joh_7:3. The simple genitive (Mat_23:27) would only be equivalent to: they are full of plunder, etc.
ἀκρασίας ] a later form of ἀκρατείας . See on 1Co_7:5.
