is actually present, should be used in every attempt to arrive at a true

understanding of a term, phrase or word that is under review.  Under the

heading Interpretation2, the uninitiated believer will receive an explanation

and an illustration of this unique feature of Holy Scripture.  In like

manner, other exegetical apparatus such as Figures of Speech, and all such

helps, are indicated under the same main heading.

This is the Greek New Testament from which the Authorized Version of

the Bible was prepared.  Comments in this Analysis are made with this version

in mind.

Where there are textual variances between the Received Text and the

Nestle Greek Text (or other critical texts) such variances are noted.  The

phrase `in the Received Text' is printed in brackets next to the word or

words in question.

Man.  Man created in the image of God, and man fallen, sought and redeemed,

comes under the heading rather of doctrinal truth than dispensational truth,

for dispensational truth deals with differences, but all mankind are alike in

their origin, in their failure and in their need of salvation.  Two usages of

the word man, however, demand a place in this analysis, namely `the new man'

and `the perfect man'.

The new man.  This term is found only in Paul's epistles, and only in

those epistles that are called `the Prison Epistles' (see article bearing

that title, p. 160).  It therefore belongs peculiarly to the dispensation of

the Mystery.  In the earlier epistles we have a New Covenant and a new

creature, and in the epistles of the circumcision a new commandment and a new

heaven and a new earth, but a new man is peculiar to the Mystery.  After

having observed that, we must make a further observation.  Two Greek words

are used, kainos and neos, and they each have their own special connotation.

Kainos means something entirely new, not something recent, but

something different from that which had been formerly, something so new as

not to have been in use before.

Neos means something young, something recently originated or lately

established.  Dr. Bullinger has the following note in his Lexicon:

`When the two words are used of the same thing, there is always this

difference: thus, the kainos anthropos "the new man" (Eph. 2:15 and

4:24) is one who differs from the former: the neos (Col. 3:10) is one

who is `renewed after the image of Him that created Him'.

The references are as follows:

Eph. 2:15

To make in Himself of twain one new man.

Eph. 4:24

That ye put on the new man ... created.
