or, EXCLAMATION.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

An Expression of Feeling by way of Exclamation<\/i>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nEc’-ph\u014d<\/i>-nee’-sis. Greek, \u1f10\u03ba\u03d5\u1f7d\u03bd\u03b7\u03c3\u03b9\u03c2, a crying out,<\/i> an exclamation<\/i>, from \u1f10\u03ba<\/span> (ek<\/i>), out<\/em>,
\nand \u03d5\u03c9\u03bd\u03b5\u1fd6\u03bd (phonein<\/i>), to speak<\/em>, from \u03d5\u03c9\u03bd\u03ae (ph\u014dnee<\/i>), voice<\/em> or sound<\/em>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nThe figure is used when, through feeling, we change our mode of speech;
\nand, instead of merely making a statement, express it by an exclamation<\/i>.
\nSo that Ecphonesis<\/i> is an outburst of words, prompted by emotion, and is not used
\nas though any reply were expected.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nIt was called also ANAPHONESIS<\/span>, an’-a-ph\u014d’-nee’-sis<\/i>, the same word, with \u1f00\u03bd\u1f71 (ana<\/i>), up<\/i>, prefixed instead of \u1f10\u03ba (ek<\/i>), out<\/i>, a lifting up of the voice<\/i>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nThe exclamation itself is called ANAPHONEMA<\/span> (An’-a-ph<\/i>\u014d<\/i><\/span>-nee ‘-ma<\/i>). <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nThe Latins called it EXCLAMATIO, exclamation<\/i>.
\nBut note that, when the exclamation occurs at the end of a sentence, as an addition
\nby way of conclusion, it is called Epiphonema <\/i>(see page 464<\/a>).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When the Ecphonesis<\/i> is an exclamation thrown in parenthetically, it is called Interjectio <\/i>(see page 478<\/a>). <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nJosh. 7:7 \u2014 \u201cAnd Joshua said, Alas, O Lord God (Adonai Jehovah), wherefore hast thou at all brought up this people over Jordan,\u201d etc<\/em>. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n1 Chron. 11:17 \u2014\u201cAnd David longed, and said. Oh that one would give me drink
\nof the water of the well of Bethlehem, that is at the gate!\u201d
\nThis would come also under the figure \u0152onismos<\/i> (q.v<\/i>.).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nPsa. 22:1 (2) \u2014 \u201cMy God (Eli), my God (Eli), why hast thou for saken me?\u201d
\n(Matt. 27:46<\/a>; Mark 15:34<\/a>). See under Epizeuxis<\/em>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nPsa. 57:7<\/a> (8<\/a>) is also a beautiful Ecphonesis<\/i>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nPsa. 84:1(2)\u00a0 \u2014 \u201cHow amiable (i.e<\/i>., How lovely, or How delightful) are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts,\u201d etc<\/i>.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nIsa. 1:4 \u2014 \u201cAh sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evil-doers, children that are corrupters.\u201d
\nSee under Synonymia<\/a><\/em> and Anabasis<\/a><\/em>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nIsa. 6:5 \u2014 \u201cThen said I, Woe is me! for I am undone\u201d; etc<\/i>.
\nThis is the true Ecphonesis<\/i> of a convicted soul. A confession, not of what he has done, but of what he IS; as to nature, condition, and deserts. Of such an exclamation the result is ever (as recorded in the next verse) \u201cTHEN flew,\u201d etc<\/em>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nEzek. 9:8 \u2014\u201cI fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord God (Adonai Jehovah)!\u201d etc<\/i>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nHos. 13:9 \u2014 \u201cO Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nMatt. 15:28 \u2014\u201c Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nMatt. 17:17 \u2014\u201cThen Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation,\u201d etc<\/em>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n Acts 7:51<\/a> is also an Ecphonesis<\/i>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nRom. 7:24 \u2014 \u201cO wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from this body of death?\u201d (marg.).
\nSee Hypallage<\/em>, Ellipsis<\/a><\/em>, and Metonymy<\/em>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nThis is a true Ecphonesis<\/i>; but, as concluding the whole of the chapter, it is also in that respect a kind of Epiphonema <\/i>(q.v<\/i>.).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nThis verse expresses the continuous experience of every true child of God, who understands the conflict between the two natures: \u2014 the old man and the new man: the flesh and the spirit, the old nature and the Divine nature implanted within him by the Holy Spirit.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nThis conflict is the one thing of which a merely religious person is destitute. It is the one thing that cannot be imitated by the hypocrite. He never has an abiding sense of inward corruption and of the conflict with it; because he has not the New nature by which alone it is manifested and brought to light. He has no standard within him to detect it, or by which to try it.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Until the truth of the abiding conflict between the two natures is seen no spiritual peace can be enjoyed.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nThe fruits<\/i> of the old tree are dealt with in the former portion of this Doctrinal part of the Epistle (Rom. 1:16 to 5:11): and then the old tree itself<\/i> is dealt with in chap. 5:12 to 8:39, and is shown to be (in God’s sight) as dead, having been crucified with Christ. Thus, the conflict goes on till this body of death (i.e<\/i>., until this dying body), either dies, or is \u201cchanged\u201d at Christ’s appearing.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then the longing desire will be realised, and faith will be rewarded, as expressed in the words that follow, where the Ellipsis<\/a> <\/i>must be supplied:\u2014
\n\u201cI thank God \u2014\u00a0He will deliver me<\/em>
\n[and reckoning myself even now as already having died with Christ (6:11)\u2014I thank God, that He will deliver me] through Jesus Christ our Lord.\u201d
