Notes: The manner in which ἔξωθεν[c], ἐκτός[b], and ὄπισθεν[c] may be rendered in particular contexts depends very largely upon what is being spoken about. For example, ἔξωθεν in RV PE1 3:3 · LV PE1 3:3 · Read together PE1 3:3 refers to the outward aids employed in making oneself beautiful, but instead of speaking of such objects as being on the surface or on the outside, it may be necessary to speak of those things which one puts on the body or what one wears.
