Who art thou? [σ υ τ ι ς ε ι] Thou, first in the Greek order and peculiarly emphatic. Addressing the weak brother, since judgest corresponds with judge in ver. 3.

Servant [ο ι κ ε τ η ν]. Strictly, household servant. See on 1 Peter 2:18. He is a servant in Christ s household. Hence not another man's, as A. V., but the servant of another, as Rev. Allotrion of another is an adjective.

He shall be holden up [σ τ α θ η σ ε τ α ι]. Rev., shall be made to stand; better, both because the rendering is more truthful, and because it corresponds with the kindred verb stand - he standeth, make him stand.

Is able [δ υ ν α τ ε ι]. Stronger than dunatai can. The sense is, is mighty. Hence Rev., hath power.
