Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Scarcely (moliv). Common adverb from molov, toil. See on Acts 14:18. As between dikaiov, righteous, and agaqov, good, Lightfoot notes "all the difference in the world" which he shows by quotations from Plato and Christian writers, a difference of sympathy mainly, the dikaiov man being "absolutely without sympathy" while the agaqov man "is beneficent and kind."
Would even dare (kai tolmai). Present active indicative of tolmaw, to have courage. "Even dares to." Even so in the case of the kindly sympathetic man courage is called for to make the supreme sacrifice.
Perhaps (taxa). Common adverb (perhaps instrumental case) from taxuv (swift). Only here in N.T.
