ἀποβολὴ, Acts 27:22 only. Romans 11:15-16 are parenthetic, justifying the statement of purpose in 14 and repeating the idea of 12.

καταλλαγὴ κόσμου. Cf. Romans 5:10-11; Ephesians 2:12-16, and 2 Corinthians 5:18-19. καταλλ. verb and subst. only in Romans, 1 and 2 Cor. (ἀποκ., Eph., Col.).

ἡ πρόσλημψις. The reception of them (see Hart, Ecclus. p. 302; cf. 1 Samuel 12:22).

ζωὴ ἐκ νεκρῶν = life after death: the sharpest contrast that human experience affords. In what reference? It must include not merely the recovered Israel but the reconciled world. It seems therefore to point to the final consummation at the second coming, cf. Romans 8:18 f., and esp. Acts 3:19 ff., where the repentance of Israel is the necessary preliminary of that coming; cf. 1 Corinthians 15:28. So S. H., who point out the same reference in Romans 1:26. It explains then the πόσῳ μᾶλλον of Romans 11:12.
