Notes: {'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': ['04700600700018'], 'Content': 'In {S:04700600700018} ὅπλον occurs in a highly figurative context, but it is better under such circumstances to regard ὅπλον as referring to an instrument used in fighting and then to assign the figurative meaning to the entire expression. In some languages it may be necessary to translate ὅπλων in {S:04700600700018} as means or simply instruments. For the understanding of the phrase τῶν δεξιῶν καὶ ἀριστερῶν as referring to offensive and defensive weapons, see {D:82.7}.'}
