Notes: {'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'It is possible that ἐπανίστημι and ἐπίστασις[b], with the prefix ἐπι, differ in some measure from ἀνίστημι[h] and στάσις[a] by virtue of the prefixal element which may suggest action directed specifically toward some object, but there is insufficient contextual evidence to support such distinct meanings.'}

         DefinitionShort: responsibility for oversight based upon authority

         Glosses: ['responsibility for', 'concern for', 'care of']

         Comments: Though one might regard ἐπίστασις as meaning only the position of authority, nevertheless this authority is expressed in terms of the oversight and care of others. In a sense the meaning of ἐπίστασις in {S:04701102800010} is defined by the following appositional phrase, ἡ μέριμνα πασῶν τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν ‘concern for all the churches.’ For another interpretation of ἐπίστασις in {S:04701102800010}, see {D:25.239}.
