(3) In Luke 24:1, the plural of tis, "a certain one," is found in some mss., and translated "certain others" in the AV.

Other side and Other way * For OTHER SIDE and OTHER WAY see SIDE and WAY

It is translated "ours," e.g., in Mark 12:7; Luke 20:14; 1 Cor. 1:2; 2 Cor. 1:14. (2) In 1 John 4:17, the phrase meta hemon, rendered "our (love)" in the AV, is accurately translated in the RV "(herein is love made perfect) with us," i.e., Divine love in Christ finds its expression in "our" manifestation of it to others. (3) In Luke 17:5, "increase our faith" is, lit., "add faith to us." (4) In Luke 24:22, "of our company" is, lit., "from among us." (5) Hemeteros, a possessive pronoun, more emphatic than hemeis, is used in Luke 16:12, in the best mss. (some have humeteros, "your own"); Acts 2:11; 24:6, in some mss.; Acts 26:5; 2 Tim. 4:15; Titus 3:14, "ours;" 1 John 1:3; 2:2, "ours." (6) In Luke 23:41, "of our deeds," is, lit., "of what things we practiced." (7) In 1 Cor. 9:10, "for our sake," RV (twice), is, lit., "on account of us."

Our own <1,,1438,heauton>

<2,,2398,idios>
"one's own," signifies "our own" in Acts 3:12; 1 Cor. 4:12; in Acts 2:8, with hemon, forming a strong possessive, lit., "each in his own language of us."

Ourselves * Notes: (1) This translates (a) autoi, the plural of autos, "self," used emphatically either alone, e.g., John 4:42; Rom. 8:23 (1st part); 2 Cor. 1:4 (last part); 1:9, RV, "we ourselves" (1st part); or joined with the plural pronouns, e.g., hemeis, "we," Rom. 8:23 (2nd part); (b) the plural hemeis alone, e.g., Titus 3:3; in 2 Cor. 4:7, RV, ex hemon, is translated "from ourselves" (AV, "of us"); (c) heauton, governed by the preposition apo, "from," e.g., 2 Cor. 3:5 (1st part), lit., "from ourselves" ("of ourselves," in the text); (d) heautis, the dative case of (c), e.g., Rom. 15:1; governed by en, "in," 2 Cor. 1:9 (1st part); by epi, "on" (2nd part). (e) heautous, the accusative case, e.g., Acts 23:14; 2 Cor. 3:1; 4:2,5. (2) In Acts 6:4, AV, proskartereo, "to continue steadfastly" (RV), is translated "give ourselves continually." (3) In 2 Cor. 10:12, AV, enkrino, "to number" (RV), is translated "to make ourselves of the number."

Out, Out of * Notes: (1) The preposition ek (or ex), which frequently signifies "out of" or "from the midst of," has a variety meanings, among which is "from," as virtually equivalent to apo, "away from," e.g., 2 Cor. 1:10, "who delivered us out of so great a death, and will deliver;" since death was not acutally experienced, but was impending, ek here does not signify "out of the midst of." In Acts 12:7 it is used in the statement "his chains fell off from his hands." In Matt. 17:9 it is used of descending from a mountain, not "out of;" "we are not to suppose that they had been in a cave" (Dr. A. T. Robertson, Gram. of the Greek NT). In 1 Thess. 1:10, "even Jesus, which delivereth us from the wrath to come," RV, the question whether ek here means "out of the midst of" or "away from," is to be determined by some statement of Scripture where the subject is specifically mentioned; this is provided, e.g., in 1 Thess. 5:9, the context of which makes clear that believers are to be delivered from (not "out of") the Divine wrath to be executed on the nations at the end of the present age. (2) For the phrase ek mesou, "out of the way," see MIDST, Note (1), (e). (3) In Luke 8:4, AV, the phrase kata polin is translated" out of every city" (RV, "of every city," to be taken in connection with "they"). (4) Ektos, "outside of," is translated "out of" in 2 Cor. 12:2; in 2 Cor. 12:3 the best mss. have choris, "apart from," RV (AV, ektos, "out of"). (4) For other prepositions, and adverbs, see + p. 9.

Outer <1,,1857,exoteros>
the comparative degree of exo, "without," is used of the "outer" darkness, Matt. 8:12; 22:13; 25:30.

Outgo <1,,4281,proerchomai>

primarily, "to run forward" (pro, "forward" or "before," trecho, "to run"), is used with tachion, "more quickly," in John 20:4, "outran," RV (AV, "did outrun"), lit., "ran forward more quickly;" in Luke 19:4, "he ran on before," RV (AV, "ran before"). See RUN. In the Sept., 1 Sam. 8:11; in some texts, Job 41:13, "destruction runneth before him," in the Eng. versions, Job 41:22.

Outside <1,,1855,exothen>
an adverb formed from exo, "without," properly signifies "from without," Mark 7:18 (in Mark 7:15 it is used as a preposition); with the article it is equivalent to a noun, "the outside," Matt. 23:25 (for ver. 27, see OUTWARD, No. 2); Luke 11:39; in Luke 11:40, RV, "the outside" (AV, "that which is without").

<2,,1855,exothen>
is translated "outward" in Matt. 23:27 (RV, "outwardly"); it is used with the article, adjectivally, in 1 Pet. 3:3, of "outward" adorning. See OUTSIDE, No. 1.

Notes: (1) The phrase en to phanero, lit., "in the open" ("manifest"), is rendered "outwardly" in Rom. 2:28. (2) For "with outward show," AV, marg., Luke 17:20, see OBSERVATION. (3) For the AV, of 2 Cor. 10:7, "outward appearance," see FACE, No. 1.

Oven <1,,2823,klibanos>
is mentioned in Matt. 6:30; Luke 12:28. The form of "oven" commonly in use in the east indicates the kind in use as mentioned in Scripture. A hole is sunk in the ground about 3 feet deep and somewhat less in diameter. The walls are plastered with cement. A fire is kindled inside, the fuel being grass, or dry twigs, which heat the oven rapidly and blacken it with smoke and soot (see Lam. 5:10). When sufficiently heated the surface is wiped, and the dough is molded into broad thin loaves, placed one at a time on the wall of the "oven" to fit its concave inner circle. The baking takes a few seconds. Such ovens are usually outside the house, and often the same "oven" serves for several families (Lev. 26:26). An "oven" of this sort is doubtless referred to in Ex. 8:3 (see Hastings, Bib. Dic.).

The modern Greek version is "even if a man, through lack of circumspection, should fall into any sin." See TAKE.

Palace <1,,833,aule>
"a court, dwelling, palace:" see COURT.

<2,,4232,praitorion>
signified originally "a general's (praetor's) tent." Then it was applied to "the council of army officers;" then to "the official residence of the governor of a province;" finally, to "the imperial bodyguard." In the AV the word appears only once, Mark 15:16, "the hall, called Praetorium" (RV, "within the court which is the Praetorium," marg., "palace"); in the Greek of the NT is also occurs in Matt. 27:27, AV, "the common hall," marg., "the governor's house;" RV, "palace," see marg.; John 18:28 (twice), AV, "the hall of judgment;" and "judgment hall," marg., "Pilate's house," RV, "palace," see marg.; so in Acts 23:35; in Phil. 1:13, AV, "in all the palace," marg., "Caesar's court," RV, "throughout the whole praetorian guard," marg., "in the whole Praetorium."

"In the Gospels the term denotes the official residence in Jerusalem of the Roman governor, and the various translations of it in our versions arose from a desire either to indicate the special purpose for which that residence was used on the occasion in question, or to explain what particular building was intended. But whatever building the governor occupied was the Praetorium. It is most probable that in Jerusalem he resided in the well-known palace of Herod. ... Pilate's residence has been identified with the castle of Antonia, which was occupied by the regular garrison. The probability is that it was the same as Herod's palace. Herod's palace in Caesarea was used as the Praetorium there, and the expression in Acts 23:35, marg., 'Herod's praetorium,' is abbreviated from 'the praetorium of Herod's palace.'" (Hastings' Bib. Dic.).

In Phil. 1:13, marg., "the whole Praetorium" has been variously explained. It has been spoken of as "the palace," in connection with Phil. 4:22, where allusion is made to believers who belong to Caesar's household. Others have understood it of the barracks of the "praetorian" guard, but Lightfoot shows that this use of the word cannot be established, neither can it be regarded as referring to the barracks of the "palace" guard. The phrase "and to all the rest" in Phil. 1:13 indicates that persons are meant. Mommsen, followed by Ramsay (St. Paul the Traveller, p. 357) regards it as improbable that the Apostle was committed to the "praetorian" guard and holds the view that Julius the centurion, who brought Paul to Rome, belonged to a corps drafted from legions in the provinces, whose duty it was to supervise the corn supply and perform police service, and that Julius probably delivered his prisoners to the commander of his corps. Eventually Paul's case came before the praetorian council, which is the "praetorium" alluded to by the Apostle, and the phrase "to all the rest" refers to the audience of the trial.

Note: Some scholars, believing that this Epistle was written during an Ephesian imprisonment, take the "Praetorium" here to be the residence in Ephesus of the proconsul of the province of Asia, and "Caesar's household" to be the local imperial civil service (Deissmann etc.).

Palm (palm tree) <1,,5404,phoinix>
denotes "the date palm;" it is used of "palm" trees in John 12:13, from which branches were taken; of the branches themselves in Rev. 7:9. The "palm" gave its name to Phoenicia and to Phoenix in Crete, Acts 27:12, RV. Jericho was the city of "palm trees," Deut. 34:3; Judg. 1:16; 3:13; 2 Chron. 28:15.

Paper <1,,5489,chartes>
"a sheet of paper made of strips of papyrus" (whence Eng., "paper"), Eng., "chart," "charter," etc.; the word is used in 2 John 1:12. The papyrus reed grew in ancient times in great profusion in the Nile and was used as a material for writing. From Egypt its use spread to other countries and it was the universal material for writing in general in Greece and Italy during the most flourishing periods of their literature.

The pith of the stem of the plant was cut into thin strips, placed side by side to form a sheath. Another layer was laid upon this at right angles to it. The two layers were united by moisture and pressure and frequently with the addition of glue. The sheets, after being dried and polished, were ready for use. Normally, the writing is on that side of the papyrus on which the fibers lie horizontally, parallel to the length of the roll, but where the material was scarce the writer used the other side also (cp. Rev. 5:1). Papyrus continued to be used until the seventh cent., A.D., when the conquest of Egypt by the Arabs led to the disuse of the material for literary purposes and the use of vellum till the 12th century.
