1 | Two ways of thinking! | Rom 15:5 | Makarios | 216634 | ||
Greetings Tim! I really liked what you did with 'phroneo' in the verses that you went over earlier, and agree with your conclusion. One other area that might be worthy of discussion concerning 'phroneo' could be Philippians 4:10, of which the KJV renders "your care of me".. It may be interesting to see what or if there is a textual connection between 'mind' and 'care,' since 'phroneo' is mentioned twice in this verse as well. Your Brother in Christ, Makarios |

2 | Two ways of thinking! | Rom 15:5 | Morant61 | 216641 | ||
Greetings Makarios! Great question! Here is what A. T. Robertson says about this point: "Ye have revived (anethalete). Second aorist active indicative of old poetic word (Homer), anathallo, to sprout again, to shoot up, to blossom again. So in the lxx five times, though rare and literary word. Your thought for me (to huper emou phronein). Accusative case of the articular present active infinitive the object of anethalete used transitively. “You caused your thinking of me to bloom afresh.” Wherein (Ephesians' hoi). “In which,” “upon which” (locative case). A loose reference to Paul’s interests as involved in their thinking of him. Ye did indeed take thought (kai ephroneite). Imperfect active, “ye were also (or had been also) thinking.” Ye lacked opportunity (ekaireisthe). Imperfect middle of akaireomai, late and rare word, here only in N.T., from akairos (a privative, kairos), not to have a chance, the opposite of eukaireo (Mar 6:31)." Apparently, 'to think' is the object of the main verb 'to renew'. The connection between thinking and caring seems to be simply that 'thinking' indicates 'concern'. I'll try to check some other sources later. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
