2. εἰς τὸ may be taken (a) with ὁπλίσασθε in order that ye should no longer live, etc. as R.V., or (b) as A.V. and R.V. marg. with πέπαυται that he should no longer live, etc.

ἐπιθυμίαις, the many variable lusts of men are contrasted with the single unvarying purpose of God. So Heracleon ap. Origen on Jn tom. xx. 24 says that the devil has not θέλημα but ἐπιθυμίαι.

βιῶσαι. Nowhere else in the N.T. but cf. Job 29:18, with an accusative, and absolutely in Pro 7:3. βίωσις = manner of life Act 26:4.

ἐπίλοιπον, here only in N.T.
