Psalms 137:9 — Versículo Salmo 137:9 . Feliz - que toma y destroza a tus pequeños. Es decir, has sido tan opresivo con todos los que han estado bajo tu dominio, que te has vuelto universalmente odiado y detestado; de modo que aquellos que puedan tener la última mano en tu destrucción,

Matthew 10:16 — bendito a los israelitas: Seréis para mí tan rectos como las palomas, pero para los gentiles, astutos como serpientes". Hay una belleza en este dicho que rara vez se observa. La serpiente es representada como prudente en exceso, llena de astucia, Génesis 3:1; 2 Corintios 11:3; y la paloma es simple, hasta la estupidez, Oseas 7:11; pero Jesucristo corrige aquí la astucia de la serpiente , por la simplicidad de la paloma ; y la demasiada simplicidad de la paloma , por la astuta de la serpiente

Matthew 24:51 — διαταμειν, to be cut in two, and one half placed on each side of the way, that his army might pass through between them. See Raphelius also, in his notes from Herodotus and Polybius. This kind of punishment was used among the Persians: see Daniel 2:5; Daniel 3:29. Story of Susannah, ver. 55, 59. See also 2 Samuel 12:31, and 1 Chronicles 20:3. It may also have reference to that mode of punishment in which the different members were chopped off seriatim, first the feet, then the hands, next the legs, then the

Matthew 24:51 — de Pitio μεσον διαταμειν, y colocar una mitad a cada lado del camino, para que su ejército pasara entre ellos. Véase también Raphelius, en sus notas de Heródoto y Polibio. Este tipo de castigo se utilizaba entre los persas: ver Daniel 2:5; Daniel 3:29. Historia de Susannah, ver. 55, 59. Ver también 2 Samuel 12:31 y 1 Crónicas 20:3. También puede referirse a ese modo de castigo en el que los diferentes miembros eran cortados en serie, primero los pies, luego las manos, después las piernas, luego

Matthew 9:38 — Verso Mateo 9:38. Que enviará obreros...  οπως εκβαλλη εργατας, que enviará obreros . Aquellos que son más aptos para el trabajo son generalmente los más atrasados ​​en el empleo. El hombre que desea convertirse en predicador sabe poco de Dios, de la naturaleza humana

Mark overview — mother of John, whose surname was Mark, where many were gathered together praying, Acts 12:12. This very first mention of John Mark assures us of Peter's intimacy in that family: it is almost universally allowed that Mark, mentioned by Peter, 1 Peter 5:13, is this evangelist, and that he is the same with him who is called sister's son to Barnabas, Colossians 4:10, and is supposed to have been converted by Peter to the Christian faith. Mr. W. Whiston supposes him to have been Peter's own son. See his

Mark 12:41 — every penny I possess, and constantly observes how I lay it out." What a comfortable thought for the poor and desolate! The eye of the most merciful and bountiful Jesus continually beholds my poverty and distress, and will cause them to work for my good.3. Christ sees all the motives which lead men to perform their respective actions; and the different motives which lead them to perform the same action: he knows whether they act through vanity, self-love, interest, ambition, hypocrisy, or whether through

Romans 1:32 — Versículo Romanos 1:32 . Quienes, conociendo el juicio de Dios... δικαιωμα, la gran regla del derecho que Dios ha revelado a todo hombre, cuyo conocimiento ha dado, en menor o mayor medida, a todas las naciones del mundo, relativo a honrar a los padres, cuidar de su propia

Romans 4:1 — that all the nations of the earth should be blessed tn him, was made to him while he was in an uncircumcised state; and, therefore, if salvation were of the Jews alone, the law, that was given after the promise, would make the promise of no effect, 13-17. Description of Abraham's faith, and its effects, 18-92. This account is left on record for our salvation, that we might believe on Christ, who was delivered for our offences, and raised again for our justification, 23-25. NOTES ON CHAP. IV.The apostle,

2 Corinthians 3:18 — Verse 2 Corinthians 3:18. But we all, with open face — The Jews were not able to look on the face of Moses, the mediator of the old covenant, and therefore he was obliged to veil it; but all we Christians, with face uncovered, behold, as clearly as we can see our own

2 Corinthians 3:18 — Verso 2 Corintios 3:18 . Pero nosotros todos, a cara descubierta...  Los judíos no podían mirar el rostro de Moisés, el mediador de la antigua alianza, y por eso se vio obligado a velarlo; pero todos los cristianos, con el rostro descubierto, contemplamos, tan claramente

Titus 1:16 — faith for its foundation, godliness for its rule, and eternal life for its object and end. He who does not begin well, is never likely to finish fair. He who does not refer every thing to eternity, is never likely to live either well or happily in time.3. There is one subject in this chapter not sufficiently attended to by those who have the authority to appoint men to ecclesiastical offices; none should be thus appointed who is not able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convince the gainsayers.

Titus 1:16 — sustancial de la verdad debe tener la fe como fundamento, la piedad como regla, y la vida eterna como objeto y fin. El que no empieza bien, nunca podrá terminar bien. El que no remite todo a la eternidad, nunca podrá vivir bien o felizmente en el tiempo. 3. Hay un tema en este capítulo al que no prestan suficiente atención los que tienen autoridad para nombrar a los hombres para los oficios eclesiásticos; no se debe nombrar a nadie que no sea capaz, por medio de la sana doctrina, tanto de exhortar como

Hebrews 6:2 — Verse Hebrews 6:2. Of the doctrine of baptisms — "There were two things," says Dr. Owen, "peculiar to the Gospel, the doctrine of it and the gifts of the Holy Ghost. Doctrine is called baptism, Deuteronomy 32:2; hence the people are said to be baptized to Moses, when they were initiated into his doctrines, 1 Corinthians 11:2. The baptism of John was his doctrine, Acts 19:3; and the baptism of Christ was the doctrine of Christ, wherewith he was to sprinkle
