parenthesis. First aorist active indicative of 	eleio(935c). See
verse  11 . And yet law is necessary. {A bringing in thereupon}
(epeisag(9367)(885c)). An old double compound (epi, additional,
eisag(9367)(885c), bringing in from eisag(935c)). Here only in N.T. Used by
Josephus (_Ant_. XI. 6, 2) for the introduction of a new wife in
place of the repudiated one. {Of a better hope} (kreittonos

Christ ( 4:16 ).
