\DeclareFixedFootnote{\fnApotasso}{APOTASSO:
|
|
'take leave'.
|
|
It is only used 6 places in the NT:
|
|
\myxref{Mark}{6}{46}, \myxref{Luke}{9}{61}, \myxref{Luke}{14}{33}, \myxref{Acts}{18}{18},
|
|
\myxref{Acts}{18}{21}, \myxref{2Cor}{2}{13}.
|
|
\fnPar
|
|
APOTASSO has the sense of 'appoint oneself-apart-from' ---
|
|
there's an element of Will in separating oneself from something.
|
|
It doesn't have any sense of rejecting a negative;
|
|
in general it seems to be used to indicated willingly separating oneself from a positive.
|
|
So you 'take leave' of loved ones, for example, which is actually how this verb is generally used.
|
|
\fnPar
|
|
'Renounce' implies an outright rejection,
|
|
there's a certain animosity in 'renounce',
|
|
which is not present in APOTASSO.
|
|
Furthermore, in general, when you 'take leave' (APOTASSO),
|
|
it doesn't preclude the possibility of returning.
|
|
In fact, when Paul uses APOTASSO in Acts 18:21,
|
|
he explicitly says he is returning.
|
|
This further illustrates the complete lack of animosity towards the object
|
|
from which you are 'taking leave' implied APOTASSO.
