\n\u2026…<\/span>I. The Omission of Nouns and Pronouns.

…….. <\/span><\/span><\/span>2. The Omission of the Object or Accusative,

…….. 3. The Omission of the Pronoun<\/strong>.
\n.<\/span>
\nWhere there can be no doubt to whom or to what the noun refers, the pronoun is frequently omitted in the Greek, and in most cases is supplied in italic<\/i> type in the A.V.
\n.<\/span>
\nThe omission of the pronoun makes it more emphatic, attention being called more prominently to it.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Matt. 19:13 \u2014\u201cThat He should put the hands [of Him<\/em>] upon them,\u201d
\ni.e<\/i>., His<\/i> hands.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Matt. 21:7 \u2014\u201cAnd put on them the clothes [of them<\/em>]\u201d
\ni.e<\/i>., their garments, \u201cand he sat upon them.\u201d
\nThis is the reading of the critical editions.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nMark 5:23 \u2014\u201cCome and lay the hands [of thee<\/em>] upon her\u201d i.e<\/i>., thy <\/i>hands.
\nWhere the A.V. does not even put “thy<\/em>” in italics.
\nCompare Matt. 9:18<\/a>, where the pronoun (\u03c3\u03bf\u03c5,\u00a0sou<\/i>) thy<\/i> is used.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nMark 6:5 \u2014 \u201cAnd he laid the hands [of him<\/i>] upon a few sick folk,\u201d i.e<\/i>., his<\/i> hands.
\nSo also 8:25<\/a>, 16:18<\/a>; Acts 9:17<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nLuke 24:40 \u2014\u201cAnd when He had thus spoken, He showed them the hands and
\nthe feet [of Him<\/i>],
\n\u00a0i.e<\/i>., as in A.V., \u201chis<\/i> hands and his<\/i> feet.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nJohn 11:41 \u2014\u201cAnd Jesus lifted up the eyes [of Him<\/i>],\u201d i.e<\/i>., his<\/i> eyes.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nActs 13:3 \u2014\u201cAnd when they had fasted and prayed, and laid the hands [of them<\/i>]
\non them,\u201d i.e<\/i>., their<\/i> hands on them.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nActs 19:6 \u2014\u201cAnd when Paul had laid the hands [of him<\/i>] upon them,\u201d i.e<\/i>., his<\/i> hands.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nRom. 2:18 \u2014Thou \u201cmakest thy boast of God, and knowest the will [of him<\/em>],\u201d
\ni.e<\/i>., his will: the will of God.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nRom. 6:3, 4 \u2014May be perhaps best explained by this figure.
\n\u201cKnow ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus,
\nunto his death we were baptized? Therefore we were buried together with him
\nby the baptism [of him<\/i>] (i.e<\/i>., by his<\/i> baptism) unto death.\u201d
\nFor He had \u201ca cup\u201d to drink of (His death<\/i>), and \u201ca baptism to be baptized with\u201d
\n(His burial<\/i>), and when He died and was buried, His people died and were buried
\nwith Him, and, as the next verse goes on to say, rose again with Him.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So the passage reads: \u201cTherefore we were buried with him by his baptism-unto-death [i.e<\/i>. his burial], in order that just as Christ was raised from among the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also, in newness of life should walk. For if we have become identified in the likeness of his death, certainly in that of his resurrection also we shall be: knowing this, that our old man was crucified together with [him<\/i>] in order that the body of sin may be annulled, that we should no longer be in servitude to sin. For he that hath died hath been righteously acquitted from the sin [of him<\/em>], i.e<\/i>. his<\/em> sin.
\nNow if we died together with Christ, we believe that we shall live also together with him.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nThe whole argument lies in this; that we are reckoned as having died with Him,
\nand as having been buried with Him in His burial (or baptism-unto-death).
\n(See Matt. 20:23<\/a>; Mark 10:38, 39<\/a>; Luke 12:50<\/a>). Hence all such are free from the dominion and condemnation of sin, and stand in the newness of resurrection life.
\nThis is \u201cthe gospel of the glory\u201d (2 Cor. 4:4<\/a>), for it was by the glory of the Father that Christ was raised, and it is glorious news indeed which tells us that all who are in Christ are \u201ccomplete in Him\u201d (Col. 2:10<\/a>), \u201caccepted in the beloved\u201d (Eph. 1:6<\/a>),
\n\u201cperfect in Christ Jesus\u201d (Col. 1:28<\/a>).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nWith this agrees Col. 2:10-12. \u201cAnd ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power. In whom (\u1f10\u03bd \u1fa7, en h\u014d<\/i>) also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh
\nby the circumcision of Christ; buried with him in the baptism [of him<\/i>]
\ni.e<\/i>., in his baptism-unto-death, in whom (\u1f10\u03bd \u1fa7 , not \u201cwherein,\u201d but as it is rendered above) ye were raised together also through the faith of the operation of God, who raised him from among the dead,\u201d etc<\/i>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nHere, again, the whole argument turns on the fact that the \u201ccircumcision\u201d and the \u201cbaptism\u201d spoken of are both \u201cmade without hands,\u201d and both are fulfilled in Christ. The whole context of these two passages must be studied in order to see the one point and the great truth which is revealed: viz<\/i>., that in His death<\/i> we are circumcised and cut off, \u201ccrucified with Him\u201d (Rom. 6:6<\/a>): in His burial<\/i> (or baptism-unto-death) we are baptized (Rom. 6:4 ; Col. 2:12): and in His resurrection<\/i> we now have our true standing before God. We have all in Christ. Hence, our completeness and perfection in Him is such that nothing can be added to it. All who are baptized by Him with the Holy Spirit are identified with Him in His death, burial, and resurrection.
\nHence, those who are being baptized are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not
\n(1 Cor. 15:29, see below), for they do not rise if Christ be not raised. But, if Christ be raised, then we are raised in Him; and \u201cChrist being raised from the dead dieth no more … for in that he died, he died unto sin once for all; but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise ye also reckon yourselves dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God, IN CHRIST JESUS\u201d (Rom. 6:8-11).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Eph. 3:17, 18 \u2014\u201cThat ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may know what is
\nthe breadth [of it<\/i>], and length [of it<\/i>], and the depth, [of it<\/i>], and the height [of it<\/i>],\u201d
\ni.e<\/i>., of love. \u201cThat ye may know what is [its<\/i>] breadth, and length, and depth, and height, etc<\/i>.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n1 Tim. 6:1 \u2014\u201cThat the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.\u201d
\nThe R.V. reads \u201cthat the name of God and the doctrine be not blasphemed,\u201d
\nbut it is better \u201cthe doctrine [of him<\/em>],\u201d
\ni.e<\/i>., his doctrine, as in the A.V.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nHeb. 4:15 \u2014\u201cBut was in all points tempted according to the likeness [of us<\/i>]
\napart from sin,\u201d
\ni.e<\/i>., according to [our<\/i>] likeness.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
