But it may also pass as instrumental dat.: 'damit er ihnen nicht leuchte vermöge des lichtes', _lest ther be any light to them thru the light_, etc. Cp. similar instr. dativs in Mk. V, 42; Lu.

(S., 18, n. 4) =kaúrei=. 18. =faírweitjandam=, sc. =unsis=; dat. abs. (S., 119), or the ptc. is simply in apposition with the preceding dat. =unsis=.--=þizei= (=ei= for =ê=. Gr., 7, n. 2); gen. pl. of the art. before the following two ptcs. (Gr., 134) uzed substantivly (S., 68, n. 4).
Chap. V. 1. =þatei=; repeated after the protasis in the form of =ei=.--=jabai=; with the ind., for ἐάν with the subj. (S., 102; cp. also 100, n.). 2. =ufarhamôn=; uzed reflexivly (for the Grk. midl.

S., 68, (1)) =usliþun= (apodosis), _the old things past away_.--=niuja= (nom. pl. n.
