Another condition of the third class, undetermined but with prospect of determination. First aorist passive subjunctive of γενναω gennaō Ανωτεν Anōthen Originally “from above” (Mark 15:38), then “from heaven” (John 3:31), then “from the first” (Luke 1:3), and then “again” Which is the meaning here? The puzzle of Nicodemus shows To participate in it as in Luke 9:27. For this use of ιδειν idein (second aorist active infinitive of οραω horaō) see John 8:51; Revelation 18:7. [source]
Lit., I glorify my ministry, as Rev. Not I praise, but I honor by the faithful discharge of its duties. He implies, however, that the office is a glorious one. The verb, which occurs about sixty times in the New Testament, most frequently in John, is used, with very few exceptions, of glorifying God or Christ. In Romans 8:30, of God's elect. In 1 Corinthians 12:26, of the members of the body. In Revelation 18:7, of Babylon. For ministry, see on minister, Matthew 20:26. [source]

Souter renders it here “exercise youthful vigour against Christ” (του Χριστου tou Christou genitive case after κατα kata in composition). [source]
Lit., as Rev., the power of her luxury. Στρῆνος is akin to στερεός firmhard, stubborn (see on steadfast, 1 Peter 5:9). Hence over-strength, luxury, wantonness. Only here in the New Testament. The kindred verb στρηνιάω tolive deliciously occurs Revelation 18:7, Revelation 18:9. [source]
