, remaining (which is used
in its different genders as a noun, “the rest”), and is used either with the article or
without, to signify “finally,” lit., “for the rest.” The apostle Paul uses it frequently in the
concluding portion of his epistles, introducing practical exhortations, not necessarily
implying that the letter is drawing to a close, but marking a transition in the subject-
matter, as in Phil. 3:1, where the actual conclusion is for the time postponed and the
farewell injunctions are resumed in 4:8. See also 1 Thess. 4:1 (

, “furthermore”); 2
Thess. 3:1.
