{He that said} (ho eip(936e)) {--said also} (eipen kai). The
unity of the law lies in the Lawgiver who spoke both prohibitions
(m(885c) and the aorist active subjunctive in each one,
moicheus(8869)s, phoneus(8869)s). The order here is that of B in Ex
20 ( Lu 18:20 Ro 13:9 ), but not in Mt 5:21,27 (with ou and
future indicative). {Now if thou dost not commit adultery, but
killest} (ei de ou moicheueis, phoneueis de). Condition of
first class with ou (not m(885c)) because of the contrast with
de, whereas ei m(885c) would mean "unless," a different idea. So
ou in 1:23 . {A transgressor of the law} (parabat(8873) nomou)
as in verse 9 . Murder springs out of anger ( Mt 5:21-26 ).
People free from fleshly sins have often "made their condemnation
of fleshly sins an excuse for indulgence towards spiritual sins"
(Hort).
