Job 19:25 — Versículo Job 19:25 . Porque sé que mi Redentor vive Cualquier intento de establecer el verdadero significado de este pasaje es casi inútil. Algunos sostienen con vehemencia que se refiere a la resurrección del cuerpo y a la redención de la raza humana por Jesucristo,

Job 28:28 — to accumulate and preserve, and afterwards to distil, these vapours, in the form of dew, rain, snow, and hail, upon the earth.8. Without air, all the charms of vocal and instrumental sounds would become extinct; and even language itself would cease.9. Without it heat could not be evolved, nor could fire exist; hence a universal rigour would invest the whole compass of created nature.10. Without air, animal life could never have had a being; hence God created the firmament or atmosphere before any

Psalms 119:1 — part.The words which express that revelation which God had then given to men, or some particular characteristic of it, are generally reckoned to be the ten following:1. Testimonies;2. Commandments;3. Precepts;4. Word;5. Law;6. Ways;7. Truth;8. Judgments;9. Righteousness;10. Statutes.To these some add the following:1. Faithfulness;2. Judgment;3. Name; but these are not used in the sense of the other ten words.I believe it is almost universally asserted that in every verse of this Psalm one or other of

Psalms 119:1 — Dios había dado entonces a los hombres, o alguna característica particular de ella, se consideran generalmente como las diez siguientes: 1. Testimonios ; 2. Mandamientos; 3. Preceptos ; 4. Palabra ; 5. Ley ; 6. Caminos ; 7. Verdad ; 8. Sentencias ; 9. Rectitud ; 10. Estatutos . A estos algunos añaden lo siguiente: 1. Fidelidad ; 2. Sentencia ; 3. Nombre ; pero estos no se usan en el sentido de las otras diez palabras. Creo que se afirma casi universalmente que en cada versículo de este Salmo se

Psalms 60:12 — Salmo: - I. Una conmemoración de la anterior condición lamentablemente distraída de los israelitas, Salmo 60:1 . II. La condición de ella bajo su reinado mucho mejor, Salmo 60:4 . III. Su agradecimiento al atribuir todas sus victorias a Dios, Salmo 60:9 . I. En el primero muestra que Dios estaba enojado con Israel. En el que se lamenta de los efectos de su ira.  1. Y luego ora por la aversión:  1°. "Oh Señor, nos has (o habías) desechado".  2°. "Nos has dispersado; te has disgustado".  3°. "Has hecho

Isaiah 1:1 — of the ox and ass, the most stupid of animals, 3. This leads to an amplification of their guilt, 4; highly aggravated by their slighting the chastisements and judgments of God, though repeated till they had been left almost like Sodom and Gomorrah, 5-9. The incidental mention of those places leads to an address to the rulers and people of the Jews, under the character of princes of Sodom, and people of Gomorrah, which is no less spirited and severe than elegant and unexpected, 10. The vanity of trusting

Matthew 1:23 — the only one that ever was, or ever shall be, a mother in this way. But the Jews, and some called Christians, who have espoused their desperate cause, assert, that "the word עלמה almah does not signify a VIRGIN only; for it is applied, Proverbs 30:19, to signify a young married woman." I answer, that this latter text is no proof of the contrary doctrine: the words דרך גבר בעלמה derec geber be-almah, the way of a man with a maid, cannot be proved to mean that for which it is produced: beside, one

Matthew 1:23 — alguna vez fue, o alguna vez será, una madre de esta manera. Pero los judíos , y algunos llamados cristianos , que han abrazado su causa desesperada, afirman que "la palabra עלמה almah no significa VIRGEN solamente ; porque se aplica, Proverbios 30:19 , para significar una mujer joven casada . Proverbios 30:19. " Respondo que este último texto no es prueba de la doctrina contraria: las palabras דרך גבר בעלמה derec geber be-almah , el camino de un hombre con una sirvienta , no puede demostrarse que

Matthew 3:17 — deliver the prize to the conqueror, and to put the crown on his head, in the presence of the assembly.8. They were the persons who convoked all solemn and religious assemblies, and brought forth, and often slew, the sacrifices offered on those occasions.9. They frequently called the attention of the people, during the sacrifices, to the subject of devotion, with hoc age! τουτο πραττε: mind what you are about, don't be idle; think of nothing else. See PLUTARCH in Coriolanus.The office, and nearly the

Matthew 3:17 — Entregar el premio al vencedor y ponerle la corona en la cabeza, en presencia de la asamblea. 8. Eran las personas que convocaban todas las asambleas solemnes y religiosas , y sacaban, ya menudo sacrificaban , los sacrificios ofrecidos en esas ocasiones. 9. Con frecuencia llamaban la atención del pueblo, durante los sacrificios, sobre el tema de la devoción , ¡con hoc edad ! τουτο πραττε: cuida lo que haces, no seas ocioso; pensar en nada más . Véase PLUTARCO en Coriolano . El oficio, y casi la palabra

1 Corinthians 13:13 — manifested to a created and limited nature in any other way. 8. As the perfections of God are infinite, they are capable of being eternally manifested, and, after all manifestations, there must be an infinitude of perfections still to be brought to view. 9. As every soul that has any just notion of God must know that he is possessed of all possible perfections, so these perfections, being objects of knowledge, must be objects of faith. 10. Every holy spirit feels itself possessed of unlimited desires

1 Corinthians 13:13 — naturaleza creada y limitada de otra manera. 8. Como las perfecciones de Dios son infinitas, son capaces de manifestarse eternamente, y, después de todas las manifestaciones, debe haber una infinidad de perfecciones que aún deben ser llevadas a la vista. 9. Como toda alma que tenga alguna noción justa de Dios debe saber que es poseedor de todas las perfecciones posibles, así estas perfecciones, siendo objeto de conocimiento, deben ser objeto de fe. 10. Todo espíritu santo se siente poseedor de ilimitados

Philemon 1:25 — reconcile those that are at variance.7. We should be grateful to our benefactors, and be ready to compensate one good turn with another.8. We should forgive the penitent who have offended us, and rejoice in the opportunity of being reconciled to them.9. Authority is not always to be used; a prudent man who is possessed of it will rather use a mild and obliging manner, than have recourse to the authority of his office.10. The ministers of the Gospel should learn to know the worth of an immortal soul,

Hebrews 5:7 — which he suffered, Hebrews 5:8, that is, subjection to all the requisitions of the law; and being made perfect, that is, having finished the whole by dying, he, by these means, became the author of eternal salvation to all them who obey him, Hebrews 5:9; to them who, according to his own command, repent and believe the Gospel, and, under the influence of his Spirit, walk in holiness of life. "But he appears to be under the most dreadful apprehension of death; for he offered up prayers and supplications,

Hebrews 5:7 — que padeció , Hebreos 5:8 , es decir, la sujeción a todas las exigencias de la ley; y ser perfeccionado, es decir, habiendo acabado todo al morir , él, por este medio, llegó a ser autor de eterna salvación para todos los que le obedecen , Hebreos 5:9 ; a los que, según su propio mandato, se arrepientan y crean en el Evangelio, y, bajo la influencia de su Espíritu, anden en santidad de vida. "Pero él parece estar bajo el más terrible temor de muerte, porque ofreció oraciones y súplicas, con fuerte

Hebrews 7:3 — no father, i.e. his father was unknown. Horace is to be understood in the same way: - Ante potestatem Tulli, atque ignobile regnum, Multos saepe viros, NULLIS MAJORIBUS ortos, Et vixisse probos, amplis et honoribus auctos. Serm. l. 1. Sat. vi., ver. 9. Convinced that, long before the ignoble reign And power of Tullius, from a servile strain Full many rose, for virtue high renown'd, By worth ennobled, and with honours crown'd. FRANCIS. The viri nullis majoribus orti, men sprung from no ancestors,

Hebrews 7:3 — padre, es decir, su padre era desconocido. De la misma manera debe entenderse Horacio: - Ante potestatem Tulli, atque ignobile regnum, Multos saepe viros, NULLIS MAJORIBUS ortos, Et vixisse probos, amplis et honoribus auctos. Serm. l. 1. Sat. vi., ver. 9. Convencido de que, mucho antes del innoble reinado y el poder de Tullius, de una cepa servil muchos se levantaron, por la virtud de alto renombre, por su valor ennoblecido, y coronado con honores. FRANCIS. Los "viri nullis majoribus orti", hombres

2 Peter overview — quantity of water could be brought to cover the whole earth, yet no one can deny that the bowels of the earth abound with inflammable matter, and that fiery eruptions may spread themselves throughout the surface of the globe. (See the notes on 2 Peter 3:9-11 (note).)"It must be observed that St. Peter's appeal to the deluge in the time of Noah implies that the adversaries whom he combats admitted that the Mosaic account of it was true, since it would have been useless to have argued from a fact which

Revelation 17:9 — Verse Revelation 17:9. Here is the mind which hath wisdom. — It was said before, Revelation 13:18, Here is wisdom. Let him that hath A MIND, or understanding, (νουν,) count the number of the beast. Wisdom, therefore, here means a correct view of what is intended by
