WK Translation Notes

a
"Hoping for nothing (mēden) in return (apelpizontes)," is the reading of some MSS. others adopted (mēdena). As to the word (apelpizontes) which some translate, "despairing of no man," and still others "do not cease hope of men." We cannot reason on the use of the word (apelpizein) elsewhere in the N. T., for this is its only occurrence. Considering the immediately preceding verse: what can be simpler than the converse call of grace, love, do good, lend, "hoping for nothing again"?
