Philippians 2:27

καὶ γὰρ κ. τ. λ. “For truly he was sick,” etc., καὶ intensifying the force of ἠσθέν. θαν. The more common construction of παραπλ., backed by a preponderating weight of authority, favours the dative. The endings - ου and - ω were frequently interchanged in the MSS. (see Ws [9]. TK [10]., p. 18). λύπην ἐπὶ λύπην. The reading λύπῃ is merely a simplifying of the construction. The accusative must be read. The usage is practically = ἐπί with dative. It denotes the heaping up of one thing upon another with the notion of addition predominant. Cf. Matthew 24:2, οὐ μὴ ἀφεθῇ λίθος ἐπὶ λίθον; Isaiah 28:10, θλίψιν ἐπὶ θλίψιν προσδέχου; Ps. Song of Solomon 3:7, οὐκ αὐλίζεται ἐν οἴκῳ δικαίου ἁμαρτία ἐφʼ ἁμαρτίαν. See Buttm., Gram., p. 338. σχῶ. Equiv. to our “get”. This is the force of the aorist.
