{For if ... proved steadfast} (ei gar ... egeneto bebaios).
Condition of first class, assumed as true. {Through angels} (di'
aggel(936e)). Allusion to the use of angels by God at Sinai as in
 Ac 7:38,53  Gal 3:19 , though not in the O.T., but in Josephus
(_Ant_. XV. 156). {Transgression and disobedience} (parabasis
kai parako(885c)). Both words use para as in pararu(936d)en, refused
to obey (stepping aside, para-basis as in  Ro 2:23 ), neglect
to obey (par-ako(885c) as in  Ro 5:19 ), more than a mere hendiadys.
{Recompense of reward} (misthapodosian). Late double compound,
like misthapodot(8873) ( Heb 11:6 ), from misthos (reward) and
apodid(936d)i, to give back. The old Greeks used misthodosia.
{Just} (endikon). Old compound adjective, in N.T. only here and
 Ro 3:8 .
