Acts 18:14

μέλλοντος : Lucan; see Burton, p. 71, on οὖν, see critical note and Alford, in loco, for its retention. ἀδίκημα, cf. Acts 24:20, only once elsewhere in N.T., Revelation 18:5, here it may perhaps mark a legal wrong, a wrong against the state the word is used in classical Greek of a breach of law ἀδίκ. τῶν νόμων, Dem., 586, 11, while ῥᾳδιούργημα marks rather the moral wrong. ῥᾳδ., cf. Acts 13:10, not elsewhere either in classical Greek or LXX, but cf. Plut., Pyrrh., 6, “if a misdemeanour or a crime”: so Ramsay. κατὰ λόγον : ut par est, merito; cf. use of the phrase in Polyb. and Malachi 3:14; Malachi 3:14 (παρὰ λ., 2Ma 4:46, 3Ma 7:8). Ἰουδαῖοι without ἄνδρες perhaps in contempt (so Knabenbauer), but see critical note. ἠνεσχόμην, cf. Luke 9:41, and so several times in St. Paul's Epistles, 2 Corinthians 11:1; 2 Corinthians 11:4; on the augment and construction see Blass, Gram., pp. 39, 102, Simcox, Language of the New Testament, p. 34, note, and Burton, p. 103.
