page 167 note 1 The quotations from the papyri are taken for the most part from Moulton and Milligan, The Vocabulary of the Creek Testament.
page 167 note 2 ‘Nowhere does the word (δειγμαΤίзειν) convey the idea of “making an example” … but signifies simply “to display, publish, proclaim”.’ Lightfoot, on Col., ii. 15. The New English Bible translates, ‘Being a man of principle, and at the same time wanting to save her from exposure’.Google Scholar
page 168 note 1 Westcott, however, in his commentary on Hebrews (p. 216) says: ‘Like our word “copy” the word ūπόδειγμα expresses not only the image which is made by imitation but also the model which is offered for imitation.’Google Scholar

page 170 note 1 Leenhardt, F. J. (The Epistle to the Romans (E.T. 1961), p. 172) finds the expressions in this verse puzzling. He thinks that ‘if we cut out the difficult part of these verses (from ύπήκούσαΤε to διδαξήσ) the development of the though gains in simplicity; we see here perhaps a very gloss’. This does not seem to be a very satisfactory way of dealing with a difficulty in the progress of Paul's thoguhg! Paul here assumes that a church which he has not founded has been instructed in a common Τύποσ διδαξήσ or catechism.Google Scholar
