Chapter 339 of 343

84 πϱοσευχóμενοɩ.

84 πϱοσευχóμενοɩ.

82ἐν αὐτῷ, for which P46 B 1739 1881 read αὑτó.

83Hence Bunyan’s Christian, beset in the valley of the shadow of death by forces against which his other armor was useless, “was forced to put up his sword, and betake himself to another weapon, called ’All-prayer’” (The Pilgrim’s Progress, Part 1).

84πϱοσευχóμενοɩ.

85See p. 383, n. 78 (on Eph. 5:21, ὑποτασσóμενοɩ).

86πεϱɩζωσάμενοɩ . . . ἐνδυσάμενοɩ . . . ὑποδησάμενοɩ. For a similar series of participles, concluding with a possibly imperatival participle, cf. Eph. 5:19-21 (p. 383, n. 78).

87Gk. πϱοσεύξομαɩ τῷ πνεύματɩ, where πνεῦμα is ambiguous: τò πνεῦμά μου in the preceding verse might suggest Paul’s own spirit, but his emphasis throughout the chapter is that such devotional exercises are effective only if performed through the Spirit of God (cf. 1 Cor. 12:7-11).

88Gk. ἐν παντὶ ϰαιϱῷ, perhaps “at every opportunity.”
