Headword: *(upwpia/zw
Adler number: upsilon,652
Translated headword: I bruise, I mortify
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
The [verb that means] I keep under observation.[1] [Formed] out of the [noun] u(pw/pia,[2] which signifies the eyes.
The Apostle [sc. Paul] says:[3] "but I mortify my body, and I treat it as a slave."[4] That is, I exercise it in training with knowledge and prudence, towards the joint working of the best, and I do not have licentiousness in mind. And so he advises saying: "clothe yourselves with the lord Jesus and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh."[5] [He was] not forbidding the rational and necessary care aimed at [self-]preservation, but gluttony, mother of intemperance; for it led to desires, plainly harmful and foolish ones. For one must not give such treatment to oneself, so as to show contempt for the soul, but in order to assist and serve its best pursuits. That is also what Plato says: one must take care of body [and] soul, for the sake of harmony, through which it is possible to live and to live rightly.[6]
But u(popie/zw ["I squash"] [is written] with a short 'o'.[7]
