{Expectation} (ekdoch(885c)). Usually reception or
interpretation from ekdechomai ( Heb 11:10 ), only here in N.T.
and in unusual sense like prosdokia, like apekdechomai ( Ro
8:19,23,25 ), this sense apparently "coined by the writer"
(Moffatt) from his use of ekdechomai in 10:13 . The papyri
have it in the sense of interpretation. {A fierceness of fire}
(puros z(886c)os). An anger (zeal, jealousy) marked (genitive) by
fire. Language kin to that in Isa 26:11 Zep 1:19 Ps 79:5 . See
also 2Th 1:8-10 for a like picture of destined doom. {Devour}
(esthiein). "To eat" (figuratively), present active infinitive.
{The adversaries} ( ous hupenantious). Old double compound
adjective (hupo, en, antios), in N.T. only here and Col 2:14 .
Those directly opposite.
