Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ὑπεναντίος. The strong sense which Lightfoot gives to this word in Col 21 ἐξαλείψας τὸ καθ᾽ ἡμῶν χειρόγραφον τοῖς δόγμασιν, ὃ ἦν ὑπεναντίον ἡμῖν, .““ which was directly opposed to us,” may be illustrated from an early second century Will, P Oxy III. 4937°, where it is enacted that no one shall be permitted to set aside any of the provisions, or do anything opposed to them—t] ὑπεναντίως πίοιεῖν. Cf. also P Flor I. 19 (A.D. 153) μηδ᾽ ἄλλο τι περὶ αὐτῆς κακοτεχνεῖν ὑπεναντίον τούτοις τρόπῳ μηδενί, and an inscr. in C. and B. ii. p. 717, No. 651 (mid. iii/A.p.) εἰ δέ τις ὑπεναντίον ποιή[σει . . . A Christian amulet, P Oxy VIII. 11515° (v/a.p.?) designed to ward off fever and other ills, ends with the words—8rt τὸ ὄνομά σου, κί(ύρι)ε ὁ θ(εό)ς, ἐπικαλεσάϊμ]ην τὸ θαυμαστὸν καὶ ὑπερένδοξον καὶ φοβερὸν τοῖς ὑπεναντίοις, ‘upon thy name, O Lord God, have I called, the wonderful and exceeding glorious name, the terror of thy foes” (Ed.) (cf. Heb 10%’).
