         Comments: In some instances ἀναγκάζω and δέω[c] may be rendered as ‘to cause it to be necessary for.’ In other instances a simple causative seems to be the closest equivalent. For example, the last clause of {S:04800201400058} may be expressed as ‘how can you make Gentiles live like Jews,’ and in {S:04402002200008} one may translate ‘and now the Spirit makes me go to Jerusalem.’
