Romans 4:6

Describeth the blessedness [λ ε γ ε ι τ ο ν μ α κ α ρ ι σ μ ο ν]. Makarismov does not mean blessedness, but the declaration of blessedness, the congratulation. So Plato : "The man of understanding will not suffer himself to be dazzled by the congratulation [μ α κ α ρ ι σ μ ο υ] of the multitude (" Republic," 9, 591). Compare Galatians 4:15 (Rev.), and see note there. Rev., correctly, pronounceth blessing.
