our English version is a peculiarly unhappy translation. [115:1] Acts xviii. 18. [115:2] See Conybeare and Howson, i. 454. [115:3] Acts xviii. 19. [116:1] Acts xviii. 24. [116:2] Acts xviii. 25. [116:3] Acts xviii. 26. [116:4] It is worthy of note that she is named before Aquila in Acts xviii. 18; Rom. xvi. 3; and 2 Tim. iv. 19. [116:5] 1 Cor. xiv. 34, 35; 1 Tim. ii. 12. [117:1] Acts xviii. 24. [117:2] Acts xviii. 27. [117:3] Acts xviii. 27, 28. [117:4] 1 Cor. iii. 4-6. [118:1] Acts xviii. 22. [118:2] Acts xviii. 23. [118:3] Acts xvi. 6. [118:4] Acts xix. 8. [118:5] Acts xix. 9. [119:1] That this epistle was written after the second visit appears from Gal. iv. 13. Mr Ellicott asserts that "the first time" is here the preferable translation of [Greek: to proteron], and yet, rather inconsistently, adds, that "no historical conclusions can safely be drawn from this expression alone." See his "Critical and Grammatical Commentary on Galatians," iv. 13. [119:2] Gal. i. 6, iii. 1. [120:1] Gal. ii. 16, iv. 1-4, v. 1. [120:2] 1 Cor. xvi. 7; 2 Cor. xii. 14, xiii. 1. [120:3] The Acts take no notice of various parts of his early career as a preacher. Compare Acts ix. 20-26 with Gal. i. 17. [120:4] 2 Cor. xi. 25. [120:5] 2 Cor. xi. 26. [120:6] Titus i. 5. [120:7] See Titus i. 6-11, ii. 1, 7, 8, 15, iii. 8-11. The reasons assigned in support of a later date for the writing of this epistle do not appear at all satisfactory. Paul directs the evangelist (Titus iii. 12) to come to him to Nicopolis, for he had "determined there to winter." This Nicopolis was in Greece, in the province of Achaia, and we know that Paul wintered there in A.D. 57-58. Acts xx. 2, 3. See Schaff's "Apostolic Church," i. 390. [120:8] 2 Cor. ii. 13, vii. 6, 13, viii. 6, 16, 23, xii. 18; Gal. ii. 1, 3. [121:1] Acts xix. 10. [121:2] See Col. iv. 13, 15, 16. These churches were not, however, founded by Paul. See Col. ii. 1. [121:3] "This was the largest of the Greek temples. The area of the Parthenon at Athens was _not one fourth_ of that of the temple of Ephesus."--_Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography, Art._ EPHESUS. [121:4] Conybeare and Howson, ii. 72. [121:5] Acts xix. 35. [122:1] Conybeare and Howson, ii. 73. Minucius Felix in his Octavius speaks of Diana as represented "at Ephesus with many distended breasts ranged in tiers." [122:2] Conybeare and Howson, ii. 13.
