e. before one i. e. he looking on and judging, in one's judgment (Winer's Grammar, 32; Buttmann, 172 (150); § 133,14): ἐφάνησαν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν ὡσεί λῆρος, ἡρακλειδη λῆρος πάντα δοκεῖ εἶναι); so especially ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ, τοῦ κυρίου, after the following words: τά ἀρεστά, βδέλυγμα, δίκαιος, T Tr WH ἐναντίον); δικαιοῦσθαι, εὐάρεστος, εὐθύς, καλόν, ἀπόδεκτον, μέγας, πολυτελές, πεπληρωμένος, ἀρέσκειν, Alex.); Winer's Grammar, § 33, f.)); in the sight of God i. e.
