a generic name for man, is translated "persons" in Rev 11:13, RV (AV, "men").

Notes: (1) In Heb 1:3, AV, hupostasis, "subtance," is translated "person;" see SUBSTANCE. (2) In Mat 27:24, RV, toutou, "of this ... (man)," is translated "of this ... person" (AV). (3) In Phm 1:12, the pronoun autos, "he," placed in a position of strong emphasis, is translated "in his own person," RV, stressing the fact that in spite of the Apostle's inclination to retain Onesimus, he has sent him, as being, so to speak, "his very heart," instead of adopting some other method. (4) In 1Co 5:13, AV, the adjective poneros, "wicked," used as a noun, is translated "wicked person" (RV, "... man"). (5) In 2Pe 2:5, AV, ogdoos, "eighth," is translated "the (lit., 'an') eighth person" (RV, "with seven others"). (b) Various adjectives are used with the word "persons," e.g., "devout, perjured, profane."
