'be.' 2:6 world, (n-13) world, (n-20) Aion. see ch. 1.20, Note c. In ver. 6 'world' has a moral signification. see Eph. 2.2. 2:7 ages (o-18) Or 'worlds' (ver. 7), 'world' (ver. 8).

I add this in note to keep up the connection with 'world' in ver. 6. 2:9 written, (p-6) See Isa. 64.4. 2:10 [his] (a-8) Or 'the Spirit.' 2:11 man (b-11) 'Man' here has the article, but the sense is this. what is in man's mind is not known of any but the spirit of the man himself, who has the thoughts; much more is it so with God. 2:12 Spirit (c-13) Note here again the difficulty, arising from 'spirit' used for cause and state, as to putting a large S to signify the person of the Holy Spirit. 2:13 wisdom, (d-11) It may perhaps be translated, 'taught words of human wisdom.' communicating (e-19) Or 'expounding.' it means literally 'mixing or putting together;' as interpreting or expounding, it is common in the LXX. Gen. 40.8; 41.12,15; 'determined,' Num. 15.34. 2:14 natural (f-3) Psuchikos. the man animated merely by his created soul, without the teaching and power of the Holy Spirit. 2:16 him?
