Luke 17:33

ὃς ἐὰν ζητήσῃ κ.τ.λ. See the same utterance, with slight verbal alterations, in Luke 9:24; John 12:25. St Paul’s high confidence as to the issue of his own apparently ruined and defeated life, furnishes us with a beautiful comment, 2 Timothy 4:6-8. For “to save” (σῶσαι) some MSS. read to ‘make his own,’ ‘to purchase’ (περιποιήσασθαι).

ζωογονήσει αὐτήν. ‘Shall bring it to new birth.’ In the N.T. this verb only occurs here and at Acts 7:19; 1 Timothy 6:13(?).
