DefinitionShort: the supernatural powers or forces regarded as having control over the events of this world
Glosses: the supernatural powers over this world
Comments: In a number of languages there is no way of speaking of ‘supernatural powers’ or ‘supernatural forces.’ Reference can only be made to such powers in terms of kinds of spirit beings; therefore, one may render στοιχεῖα[b] in {S:05100202000014} as ‘those spirits that have power’ or ‘those spirits which control.’

DefinitionShort: basic principles which underlie the nature of something
Glosses: ['basic principles', 'elementary concepts']
Comments: In some languages it may be extremely difficult to find the lexical equivalents of ‘the basic principles about the elementary aspects.’ In Greek this represents highly generic vocabulary, and in many languages the closest equivalent is ‘how to understand the simple truths.’ Therefore, this expression in {S:05800501200034} may be rendered as ‘again you have need for someone to teach you how to understand the simple truths about God’s message.’
