{Nevertheless} (pl(886e)). "Howbeit," not to dwell unduly
(Abbott) on the matter of Christ and the church. {Do ye also
severally love} (kai humeis hoi kath' hena hekastos agap(8374)(935c)).
An unusual idiom. The verb agap(8374)(935c) (present active imperative)
agrees with hekastos and so is third singular instead of
agap(8374)e (second plural) like humeis. The use of hoi kath'
hena after humeis = " ye one by one " and then hekastos
takes up (individualizes) the "one" in partitive apposition and
in the third person. {Let the wife see that she fear} (h(8820)gun(880a)hina phob(8874)ai). There is no verb in the Greek for "let see"
(lepet(935c)). For this use of hina with the subjunctive as a
practical imperative without a principal verb (an elliptical
imperative) see Mr 5:23 Mt 20:32 1Co 7:29 2Co 8:7 Eph 4:29 5:33 (Robertson, _Grammar_, p. 994). "Fear" (phob(8874)ai, present
middle subjunctive) here is "reverence."
