Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
That ye no longer should live (eiv to mhketi biwsai). Purpose clause with eiv to (negative mh) and the first aorist (for the Attic second aorist biwnai) active infinitive of biow, old verb, to spend a life (from biov, course of life, Luke 8:14), here only in N.T.
The rest of your time in the flesh (ton epiloipon en sarki xronon). Accusative of time (xronon, period of time). Epiloipon is old adjective (epi, loipov, remaining in addition), here only in N.T. But eiv to here can be result (so that) as in Romans 1:20; Romans 4:18.
