Among you [π ρ ο ς υ μ α ς]. Better, as Rev., before. In my relation to you.

Shall bewail [π ε ν θ η σ ω]. Lament with a true pastor's sorrow over the sin.

Many [π ο λ λ ο υ ς]. With special reference to the unchaste.

Sinned - already [π ρ ο η μ α ρ τ η κ ο τ ω ν]. Rev., heretofore. Only here and ch. 13 2. The perfect tense denotes the continuance of the sin. Heretofore probably refers to the time before his second visit.

Have not repented [μ η μ ε τ α ν ο η σ α ν τ ω ν]. The only occurrence of the verb in Paul's writings. Metanoia repentance, occurs only three times : Romans 2:4; 2 Corinthians 7:9; 2 Corinthians 7:10.

Of the uncleanness [ε π ι τ η α κ α θ α ρ σ ι α]. Connect with bewail, not with repent. There are no examples in the New Testament of the phrase metanoein ejpi to repent over, though such occur in the Septuagint. Lasciviousness [α σ ε λ γ ε ι α]. See on Mark 7:22.
