{Were our examples} (	upoi h(886d)(936e) egen(8874)h(8873)an). More
exactly, examples for us (objective genitive h(886d)(936e), not
subjective genitive, of us). The word 	upoi (our types) comes
from 	upt(935c), to strike, and meant originally the mark of a blow
as the print of the nails ( Joh 20:25 ), then a figure formed by
a blow like images of the gods ( Ac 7:43 ), then an example to be
imitated ( 1Pe 5:3  1Ti 4:12  1Th 1:7  2Th 3:9 ), or to be
avoided as here, and finally a type in a doctrinal sense ( Ro
5:14  Heb 9:24 ). {To the intent we should not lust after} (eis
to m(8820)einai h(886d)as epithum(8874)as). Purpose expressed by eis with
the articular infinitive 	o einai and the accusative of general
reference with epithum(8874)as (lusters) in the predicate.
