{And on some} (kai hous men). Demonstrative plural of hos
men--hos de (hous de, below), not the relative hous, but by
contrast (men, de). So Mt 13:8 . {Have mercy} (ele(8374)e).
Present active imperative of elea(935c) (rare form in Ro 9:16 also
for the usual elee(935c) Mt 9:27 ). But A C read elegchete,
refute, in place of eleate. The text of this verse is in much
confusion. {Who are in doubt} (diakrinomenous). Present middle
participle of diakrin(935c), in the accusative case agreeing with
hous men, though K L P have the nominative. If the accusative
and eleate is read, see Jas 1:6 for the idea (doubters). If
elegchete is read, see Jude 1:9 for the idea (disputers).
