PALAIOS AND JARCAIOS, AND RELATION TO NEOS AND KAINOS

^[p. 375] PALAIOS AND JARCAIOS, AND RELATION TO NEOS AND KAINOS

Παλαιός — more “the former,” ajrcaisee footnoteo” — “ancient, antique.” You could not say ajrcaisee footnoteo” ἄνθρωπος in the sense of παλαιός. jArcaisee footnoteo” is opposed to νέος but cannot be so absolutely to καινός. But ajrcaisee footnoteo” can be neither νέος nor καινός. It may be opposed to both: so may be παλαιός. It is contrasted with καινός, but it is not the νέος — what now begins. In 2 Corinthians 5: 17 ajrcaisee footnotea are things which have been of old, a long time; we have a new system or creation. So in Matthew 13: 52: they are things kaina; kai; παλαιά, the old scribe knowledge, and other new things.
