\nA Returning for Repetition and Explanation.<\/i>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pros-a-pod’-o-sis<\/i>, a giving back<\/i> to, or return<\/i>. It is from \u03c0\u03c1\u03cc\u03c2 (pros<\/i><\/em>), to<\/i> and \u1f00\u03c0\u03cc\u03b4\u03bf\u03c3\u03b9\u03c2 (apodosis<\/i>),a giving back<\/i>; (from \u1f00\u03c0\u03cc\u03b4\u03b9\u03b4\u03c9\u03bc\u03b9 [apodidomi<\/i>], to give back<\/i>, return<\/i>).

The figure is so called because after the mention of two or three words or subjects together, there is a return<\/i> to them again, and they are repeated separately for purposes of definition or explanation.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nThe Latins called it REDITIO (from redire<\/i>), which means the same thing, a going<\/i> or returning back<\/i>; or REDDITIO (from reddire<\/i>), a giving back<\/i>. They called it also SEJUGATIO, a disjunction<\/i> or separation, <\/i>from sejungo<\/i>, to unyoke<\/i> (jugum<\/i>, a yoke),
\nor disjoin<\/i>, because of the separation of the words or subjects which takes place: first being mentioned or yoked together, and then unyoked and mentioned separately.
\n<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n


\nFor the same reason they called it DISJUNCTIO, disjunction.<\/i>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nThe Greeks used a similar descriptive word when they called the figure DIEZEUGMENON (Di-e-zeug’-me-non<\/i>), from zeugma, a yoke<\/i>, i.e<\/i>., an unyoking<\/i>,
\nor disjunction<\/i>.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nJohn 16:8-11 \u2014\u201cAnd when he is come, he will reprove (marg., convince<\/i>) the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:-
\n\u201cOf sin, because they believe not on me;
\n\u201cOf righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
\n\u201cOf judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.\u201d
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nHere, after the mention of the three words together, \u201csin,\u201d \u201crighteousness,\u201d and \u201cjudgment,\u201d the Lord returns to them again, and repeats them separately, for the purpose of explaining and more particularly defining them. Thus we learn that the mission and work of the Holy Ghost with regard to the world was to bring it in guilty<\/i> (for that is the meaning of the word) concerning these three important facts.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

(1) \u201cSin<\/i>\u201d is not, as man regards it, some mere yielding to the lusts of the flesh,
\nbut a refusal to believe God’s Gospel concerning His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
\nThat<\/i> is sin in God’s sight.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

(2) \u201cRighteousness.\u201d Seeing they rejected Christ, and would not believe on Him,
\nHe was, in righteousness, removed from the earth, and is returned to the Father, until He comes again in…
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

(3) \u201cJudgment.\u201d For the prince of this world has been judged, sentence has been passed upon him, and ere long it will be put into execution.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nRom. 11:22 \u2014\u201cBehold therefore, the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness<\/b>, if thou continue in his goodness; otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.\u201d
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here, the return to the two words is not direct<\/i>, as in John 16:8-11, but in an Epanodos<\/i> (q.v<\/i>.),<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

a.\/Goodness.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

b.\/Severity.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

b.\/Severity.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

a.\/Goodness.<\/span>
\n.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The statement refers to the Gentiles as such (see verse 13, \u201cI speak to you, Gentiles\u201d), and cannot refer to the Church of God; for, of the members of Christ’s Body it has been already stated and declared in chapter 8, that there is no condemnation, and no separation. To interpret Rom. 11 of the Church, and not of the Gentiles as Gentiles is not only to miss the whole teaching conveyed by the structure (see page 385) as to the separate Doctrinal and Dispensational sections of the Epistle, but it is to make the grace of God of no effect, and to destroy the standing of the Christian, and his eternal preservation in Christ.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nPhil. 1:15-17 \u2014\u201cSome indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence *<\/a> of the Gospel.\u201d<\/span> *<\/a>(defence and defense are both acceptable spellings).<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here, after having first stated the two classes, he returns to <\/i>them to explain his meaning further.
