Or "spoken to injuriously."
b
Parakaleo. The word has to be rendered very differently in English in different places, and is hard to render, though simple and easy to understand. It means "to call upon a person so as to stimulate him to anything"; hence "to exhort, comfort or encourage." see Note to 2 Cor. 1.4. It has a fuller force here than a mere apostolic or pastoral exhortation.
c
Kosmos. as chs. 1.20; 7.31,34.
