Philippians 1:16

οἱ μὲν ἐξ ἀγάπης. Is this a complete phrase or does ἐξ ἀγ. qualify the predicate τ. Χρ. κηρύσς. supplied from Philippians 1:15 ? The latter seems most natural, as it preserves the complete parallelism of the clauses, which would otherwise be disturbed by οὐχ ἁγνῶς. κεῖμαι has practically become perf. passive of τίθημι. τέθειμαι is seldom used. (See Gildersleeve on Justin M., Apol., i., 11, 6.) Exactly parallel are Luke 2:34, οὗτος κεῖται εἰς πτῶσιν καὶ ἀνάστασιν πολλῶν; 1 Thessalonians 3:3, αὐτοὶ γὰρ οἴδατε ὅτι εἰς τοῦτο κείμεθα. “Am appointed.”
