Grammatici,
Bauer-Gingrich-Danker (2nd ed.) reports of hypostasis in Heb. xi.1 that "the
sense 'confidence,' 'assurance' must be eliminated, since examples of it
cannot be found." However, I note that the Great Scott offers inter al.
confidence, courage, resolution, steadiness (of soldiers). Lampe adduces examples of
the same word referring to martyrs' courage. Syriac renders hypostasis as
pyasa, for which Smith's Compendious yields inter al. persuasion, conviction,
assurance, confidence, supplication, explanation, answer, argument, reasoning,
view, moderation. My question then is how is B-G-D's comment to be understood,
that "examples of it cannot be found"? I must be missing something.
Thanks,
