2 τάξις
τάξις, εως, ἡ (Aeschyl., Hdt.+; loanw. in rabb.).① an arrangement of things in sequence, fixed succession/order (Epict. 3, 2, 2; Appian, Bell. Civ. 4, 22 §92; TestNapht 2:8 ἐν τάξει) ἐν τῇ τάξει τῆς ἐφημερίας αὐτοῦ Lk 1:8 (MAvi-Yonah, The Caesarea Inscription of the Twenty-Four Priestly Courses, in The Teacher’s Yoke [in mem. HTrantham], ed. JVardaman/JGarrett, ’64, 46–57). Without ἐν: τάξει in (strict chronological) order Papias (2:15), though JKleist, transl. ’48, 207f, note 19, prefers verbatim. HRigg, Jr., NovT 1, ’56, 171: emends to τάχει=in a slipshod manner.② a state of good order, order, proper procedure πάντα τάξει ποιεῖν 1 Cl 40:1. κατὰ τάξιν in order, in an orderly manner prob. ‘one after the other’ (Lucian, Alex. 46; Alex. Aphr., Quaest. 1, 4, 1 p. 10, 17 Br.) 1 Cor 14:40 (cp. the rules of the Iobakchoi: IG II2, 1368); Dg 8:7.—Col 2:5.—HvCampenhausen, Tradition and Life in the Church, ’68, 123–40.③ an assigned station or rank, position, post (one has a responsibility in an ordered scheme of things: Hyperid. 3, 30; Demosth. 18, 258; Diod S 15, 64, 4; Epict. 1, 29, 39 [assigned by God]; Diog. L. 9, 21, end; 1 Esdr 1:15; ApcMos 38; Jos., Vi. 397, Ant. 7, 36) εἰς τοσαύτην αὐτοὺς τάξιν ἔθετο ὁ θεός God has appointed them (i. e. the Christians) to so great a position Dg 6:10 (on Gr-Rom. perspective s. Reader, Polemo 345–47).— Administration (of a position) Papias (4); s. entry συμβαίνω 2.④ an arrangement in which someone or someth. functions, arrangement, nature, manner, condition, outward aspect (2 Macc 1:19 φρέατος τάξιν ἔχοντος ἄνυδρον of a well that had an arrangement for a dry area; Polyb. 3, 20, 5; Diod S 1, 25, 5; EpArist 69 κρηπίδος ἔχουσα τάξιν=‘it had the appearance of a shoe’) ἡ νεωτερικὴ τάξις the youthful nature or appearance IMg 3:1. Perh. it is in this way that Hb understood Ps 109:4b, which the author interprets to mean that Jesus was a high priest κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισέδεκ according to the nature of = just like Melchizedek i.e. like the type of arrangement made for the functioning of M.: 5:6, 10; 6:20; 7:11a, 17, 21 v.l. In any case the reference is not only to the higher ‘rank’, but also to the entirely different nature of Melchizedek’s priesthood as compared w. that of Aaron 7:11b. (In Mitt-Wilck. I/2, 81, 16; 19 and al. in pap τάξις=position of a priest.)—AcPl Ha 8, 18=BMM recto 23 (restoration certain, s. Ox 1602, 21).—DELG s.v. τάσσω. M-M. Sv. -

8 καλῶς
καλῶς adv. of καλός (Hom.+; loanw. in rabb.; καλῶς overtakes εὖ: JLee, NovT 27, ’85, 11–13.) gener. ‘well, beautifully’.① pert. to meeting relatively high standards of excellence or expectation, fitly, appropriately, in the right way, splendidly (Is 23:16) κ. πάντα πεποίηκεν he has done everything very well, indeed Mk 7:37. διὰ τὸ κ. οἰκοδομῆσθαι αὐτήν because it was well built Lk 6:48; καλῶς κτισθέντα (opp. ἄχρηστα) created to good purpose Dg 4:2. σὺ κάθου ὧδε κ. be seated here in a good place = here’s a nice place for you Js 2:3 (=ἐν καλῷ, as Alciphron, Ep.3, 20 ἄγει μέ τις λαβὼν εἰς τὸ θέατρον, καθίσας ἐν καλῷ ‘someone took me to the theater and showed me to a good seat’; Lucian, Paras. 50 καλῶς κατακείμενος; other pass. Field, Notes 236), unless κ. here= please (so JRopes, ICC 1916 ad loc.; NRSV. Either rendering catches the deferential tone of κ.). σὺ κ. εὐχαριστεῖς you may give thanks well enough 1 Cor 14:17; ἐτρέχετε κ. you were running so well Gal 5:7. Cp. 1 Ti 3:4, 12 (Diog.

In these pass. the mng. approaches 2.② pert. to meeting expectations of personal excellence, commendably, in a manner free from objection ζηλοῦσιν οὐ καλῶς Gal 4:17. κ. ἀναστρέφεσθαι (s. ἀναστρέφω 3a) Hb 13:18. πολιτεύεσθαι 1 Cl 44:6. κ. καὶ ἁγνῶς Hs 5, 6, 6; ἀγωνίζεσθαι 2 Cl 7:1 (cp. 1 Tim 6:12). ἐργάζεσθαι Hm 7, 1. δουλεύειν Hs 5, 6, 5. κ. καὶ δικαίως παραδεδόσθαι 1 Cl 51:2. κ. καὶ ἀληθῶς φρονεῖν Hm 3, 4. κ. καὶ σεμνῶς ὁρᾶν Hs 9, 1, 2. τὸ κ. ἔχον orderly behavior 1 Cl 14:2. κ. ἔχει θεὸν καὶ ἐπίσκοπον εἰδέναι it is commendable to honor God and (at the same time) the supervisor (bishop) ISm 9:1.③ pert. to being of advantage, in a manner that is beneficial/acceptable, well κ. ποιεῖν do good (Lucian, Ep. Sat. 3, 31) Mt 12:12. W. dat. (Zeph 3:20) τοῖς μισοῦσιν ὑμᾶς Mt 5:44 v.l.; Lk 6:27. κ. λέγειν w. acc. speak well of 6:26. S. B-D-F §151, 1. κ. ἔχειν be well, in good health Mk 16:18 (ἔχω 10b). καλῶς λαμβάνειν receive hospitably Hs 9, 11, 8 (λαμβάνω 5).④ pert. to being in accord w. a standard, rightly, correctlyⓐ κ. ποιεῖν do what is right, act rightly, do well (Dio Chrys. 30 [47], 25; Ael. Aristid. 36 p. 685 D.) 1 Cor 7:37f; Js 2:8, 19; Hv 2, 4, 2. W. ptc. (Appian, Bell. Civ. 3, 75 §305; Sb 5216, 7 [I B.C.]; 6265, 8 [I A.D.]; POslo 55, 7; Jos., Ant. 11, 279; B-D-F §414, 5; Rob. 1121) be kind enough to do someth.

PKirberg, Die Toleranz der Korinther 1910; JMachen, The Origin of Paul’s Religion 1921, 131ff). κ. ἀθετεῖν Mk 7:9. But here perh. the καλῶς of vs. 6, which is not ironic, may require a similar interpr., and the sentence should be a question: are you doing the right thing in rejecting God’s commandment?⑦ comp. κάλλιον (for the superl., as Galen, Protr. 8 p. 24, 19 J.=p. 10, 31 Kaibel; s. B-D-F §244, 2) ὡς καὶ σὺ κ. ἐπιγινώσκεις as also you know very well Ac 25:10.—M-M. -
9 βίος
βίος, ου, ὁ (s. βιόω; Hom.+; Hermas prefers ζωή) ‘life’ in its appearance and manifestations freq. distinguished from ζωή, the condition of being alive, cp. Plotin. 3, 7, 11, 4; Schmidt, Syn. 327–30. Although there is freq. overlapping in usage, βίος may be said to denote the manner in which one’s ζωή finds expression (cp. Plut., Mor. 114d τῆς ζωῆς βίος), and the latter term may be used to connote quality of existence as such (cp. IPriene 105, 10 the birth of Augustus marked the ‘beginning of life (βίος) and living (ζωή)’; s. also line 49; cp. Od. 15, 491; X. Mem. 3, 3, 11 and Cass. Dio 69, 19 ‘Here lies Similis, alive [βιόω] for a number of years, but really living [ζάω] for seven’.). Hence, as the semantic history shows, the loss of βίος need not terminate ζωή (q.v.).① life and activity associated w. it, life (Hdt. 6, 109, 3; cp. Aeschyl., Prom. 537 al.; pap, LXX) 2 Cl 1:6. χρόνος τοῦ βίου time of life 1 Pt 4:3 v.l. εἰσέρχεσθαι εἰς τὸν β. come to life Dg 1 of a new way of living. ἀποτάσσεσθαι τῷ βίῳ bid farewell to life (as the world knows it) IPhld 11:1; ὁ νῦν β. the present life (Ael. Aristid. 30, 20 K.=10 p. 121 D.) 2 Cl 20:2 and its ἡδοναί pleasures (cp. Jos., Ant. 4, 143) Lk 8:14; IRo 7:3. Contrasted w. it is life beyond the grave μέλλων β. (Diod S 8, 15, 1; Maximus Tyr. 41, 5f) 2 Cl 20:2 or ἄλλος β. (Sallust. 18 p. 34, 10 ἕτερος β., which involves punishment; Jos., C. Ap. 2, 218 β. ἀμείνων) IEph 9:2 (ὅλον cj.). αἱ τ. βίου πραγματεῖαι the affairs of everyday life 2 Ti 2:4. W. qualifying terms denoting personal conduct (Himerius, Or. 41 [=Or. 7], 1 ἥμερος β.; BGU 372 II, 2 ἀνδράσι πονηρὸν καὶ λῃστρικὸν βίον ποιουμένοις; Wsd 4:9; 5:4; 4 Macc 1:15; 7:7; 8:8 Ἑλληνικὸς β.) ἄνομος β.

PSI 541 ἵνα εὐσχημονῶν κ. ἀνέγκλητος … τὸν βίον ἔχω).② (Hes. et al.; Hdt., X.) resources needed to maintain life, means of subsistence (UPZ 14, 32 [158 B.C.]; Pr 31:14) Dg 5:4.

10 μυστήριον
μυστήριον, ου, τό ‘secret, secret rite, secret teaching, mystery’ a relig. t.t. (predom. pl.) applied in the Gr-Rom. world mostly to the mysteries w. their secret teachings, relig. and political in nature, concealed within many strange customs and ceremonies. The principal rites remain unknown because of a reluctance in antiquity to divulge them (Trag.+; Hdt. 2, 51, 2; Diod S 1, 29, 3; 3, 63, 2; Socrat., Ep. 27, 3; Cornutus 28 p. 56, 22; 57, 4; Alciphron 3, 26, 1; OGI 331, 54; 528, 13; 721, 2, SIG s. index; Sb 7567, 9 [III A.D.]; PGM 1, 131; 4, 719ff; 2477 τὰ ἱερὰ μ. ἀνθρώποις εἰς γνῶσιν; 5, 110; 12, 331; 13, 128 τὸ μυστήριον τοῦ θεοῦ. Only the perfected gnostic is τῶν μυστηρίων ἀκροατής Hippol., Ref. 5, 8, 29.—OKern, D. griech. Mysterien d. klass. Zeit 1927; WOtto, D. Sinn der eleusin. Myst. ’40; MNilsson, The Dionysiac Mysteries of the Hell. and Rom. Age, ’57; Kl. Pauly III 1533–42; WBurkert, Antike Mysterien ’90). Also LXX and other versions of the OT use the word, as well as En (of the heavenly secret) and numerous pseudepigr., Philo, Joseph. (C. Ap. 2, 189, 266), apolog. (exc. Ar.); it is a loanw. in rabb. Our lit. uses μ. in ref. to the transcendent activity of God and its impact on God’s people.① the unmanifested or private counsel of God, (God’s) secret, the secret thoughts, plans, and dispensations of God (SJCh 78, 9; τὸ μ. τῆς μοναρχίας τῆς κατὰ τὸν θεόν Theoph. Ant. 2, 28 [p. 166, 17]) which are hidden fr. human reason, as well as fr. all other comprehension below the divine level, and await either fulfillment or revelation to those for whom they are intended (the divine Logos as διδάσκαλος θείων μυστηρίων Orig., C. Cels. 3, 62, 9: the constellations as δεῖγμα καὶ τύπον … μεγάλου μυστηρίου Hippol. Ant. 2, 15 [p. 138, 7]; Abraham is τῶν θείων … μέτοχος μυστηρίων Did., Gen. 213, 20).ⓐ In the gospels μ. is found only in one context, where Jesus says to the disciples who have asked for an explanation of the parable(s) ὑμῖν τὸ μυστήριον δέδοται τῆς βασιλείας τ. θεοῦ Mk 4:11; the synopt. parallels have the pl. Mt 13:11 (LCerfaux, NTS 2, ’55/56, 238–49); Lk 8:10.—WWrede, D. Messiasgeh. in den Evv. 1901; HEbeling, D. Messiasgeh. u. d. Botschaft des Mc-Evangelisten ’39; NJohansson, SvTK 16, ’40, 3–38; OPiper, Interpretation 1, ’47, 183–200; RArida, St Vladimar Theol. Qtly 38, ’94, 211–34 (patristic exegesis Mk 4:10–12 par.).ⓑ The Pauline lit. has μ. in 21 places. A secret or mystery, too profound for human ingenuity, is God’s reason for the partial hardening of Israel’s heart Ro 11:25 or the transformation of the surviving Christians at the Parousia 1 Cor 15:51. Even Christ, who was understood by so few, is God’s secret or mystery Col 2:2, hidden ages ago 1:26 (cp. Herm. Wr. 1, 16 τοῦτό ἐστι τὸ κεκρυμμένον μυστήριον μέχρι τῆσδε τῆς ἡμέρας), but now gloriously revealed among the gentiles vs. 27, to whom the secret of Christ, i.e. his relevance for them, is proclaimed, 4:3 (CMitton, ET 60, ’48/49, 320f). Cp. Ro 16:25; 1 Cor 2:1 (cp. Just., D. 91, 1; 131, 2 al. μ. τοῦ σταυροῦ; 74, 3 τὸ σωτήριον τοῦτο μ., τοῦτʼ ἔστι τὸ πάθος τοῦ χριστοῦ). The pl. is used to denote Christian preaching by the apostles and teachers in the expr. οἰκονόμοι μυστηρίων θεοῦ 1 Cor 4:1 (Iambl., Vi. Pyth. 23, 104 calls the teachings of Pyth. θεῖα μυστήρια). Not all Christians are capable of understanding all the mysteries. The one who speaks in tongues πνεύματι λαλεῖ μυστήρια utters secret truths in the Spirit which the person alone shares w. God, and which others, even Christians, do not understand 1 Cor 14:2. Therefore the possession of all mysteries is a great joy 13:2 (Just., D. 44, 2). And the spirit-filled apostle can say of the highest stage of Christian knowledge, revealed only to the τέλειοι: λαλοῦμεν θεοῦ σοφίαν ἐν μυστηρίῳ we impart the wisdom of God in the form of a mystery (ἐν μυστηρίῳ=in a mysterious manner [Laud. Therap. 11] or =secretly, so that no unauthorized person would learn of it [cp. Cyr. of Scyth. p. 90, 14 ἐν μυστηρίῳ λέγει]) 2:7 (AKlöpper, ZWT 47, 1905, 525–45).—Eph, for which (as well as for Col) μ. is a predominant concept, sees the μ. τοῦ θελήματος αὐτοῦ (sc. θεοῦ) 1:9 or μ. τ. Χριστοῦ 3:4 or μ. τ. εὐαγγελίου 6:19 in acceptance of the gentiles as Christians 3:3ff, 9ff. A unique great mystery is revealed 5:32, where the relation betw. Christ and the Christian community or church is spoken of on the basis of Gen 2:24 (cp. the interpretation of the sun as symbol of God, Theoph. Ant. 2, 15 [p. 138, 8], and s. WKnox, St. Paul and the Church of the Gentiles, ’39, 183f; 227f; WBieder, TZ 11, ’55, 329–43).ⓒ In Rv μ. is used in ref. to the mysterious things portrayed there. The whole content of the book appears as τὸ μ. τοῦ θεοῦ 10:7. Also τὸ μ. τῶν ἑπτὰ ἀστέρων 1:20; τὸ μ. τῆς γυναικός 17:7, cp. vs. 5, where in each case μ. may mean allegorical significance (so BEaston, Pastoral Epistles ’47, 215).② that which transcends normal understanding, transcendent/ultimate reality, secret, with focus on Israelite/Christian experience.ⓐ 1 Ti uses μ. as a formula: τὸ μ. τῆς πίστεως is simply faith 3:9. τὸ τ. εὐσεβείας μ. the secret of (our) piety vs. 16.—τὸ μ. τῆς ἀνομίας 2 Th 2:7 s. ἀνομία 1 (Jos., Bell. 1, 470 calls the life of Antipater κακίας μυστήριον because of his baseness practiced in secret. Cp. also SibOr 8, 58 τὰ πλάνης μυστήρια; 56).—PFurfey, CBQ 8, ’46, 179–91.ⓑ in Ign.: the death and resurrection of Jesus as μ. IMg 9:1 (τὸ περὶ τῆς ἀναστάσεως μ. Orig., C. Cels. 1, 7, 9). The virginity of Mary, her childbearing, and the Lord’s death are called τρία μ. κραυγῆς three mysteries (to be) loudly proclaimed IEph 19:1 (they are mysteries because they go so contrary to human expectation). So also of the annunciation to Mary and her conception GJs 12:2f. The deacons are οἱ διάκονοι μυστηρίων Ἰ. Χρ. ITr 2:3.ⓒ Quite difficult is the saying about the tried and true prophet ποιῶν εἰς μυστήριον κοσμικὸν ἐκκλησίας who acts in accord with the earthly mystery of (God’s) assembly D 11:11. This may refer to celibacy; the prophet lives in such a way as to correspond to the relation betw. Christ and the people of God; cp. Eph 5:32 (so Harnack, TU II 1; 2, 1884, 44ff; HWeinel, Die Wirkungen d. Geistes u. der Geister 1899, 131–38; PDrews, Hdb. z. d. ntl. Apokryphen 1904, 274ff; RKnopf, Hdb. ad loc.—Differently CTaylor, The Teaching of the Twelve Apost. 1886, 82–92; RHarris, The Teaching of the Ap. 1887; FFunk, Patr. Apostol.2 1901 ad loc.; Zahn, Forschungen III 1884, 301).ⓓ μ. occurs oft. in Dg: τὸ τῆς θεοσεβείας μ. the secret of (our) piety 4:6 (what Dg means by μ. is detailed in ch. 5). Likew. of Christian teaching (cp. Ps.-Phocyl. 229 and comments by Horst 260–61) πατρὸς μυστήρια 11:2; cp. vs. 5. Hence the Christian can μυστήρια θεοῦ λαλεῖν 10:7. In contrast to ἀνθρώπινα μ. 7:1. οὗ (sc. τ. θεοῦ) τὰ μυστήρια whose secret counsels 7:2 (the divine will for orderly management of the universe). Of God keeping personal counsel κατεῖχεν ἐν μυστηρίῳ … τὴν σοφὴν αὐτοῦ βουλήν 8:10.—Lghtf., St. Paul’s Ep. to the Col. and Phlm. p. 167ff; JRobinson, St. Paul’s Ep. to the Eph. 1904, 234ff; GWobbermin, Religionsgesch.
