Genesis 1:3-5 — line. Hence, a new paragraph beginning with a conjoined verb is to be connected in time, not with the last sentence of the preceding one, but with some sentence in the preceding narrative more or less distant from its terminating point (see on Genesis 1:5, and Genesis 2:3). Even a single verse may be a paragraph in itself referring to a point of time antecedent to the preceding sentence.A verb so conjoined in narrative is in Hebrew put in the incipient or imperfect form, as the narrator conceives the

Genesis 6:9-22 — parallel with some leading individual. Hence, the “race” or “generation” living during that time.14. תבה tēbâh “chest, ark.” It is used only of this vessel of Noah’s construction, and of the little vessel in which Moses was put Exodus 2:3, Exodus 2:5. The root, according to Furst, means “to be hollow.” אבה 'ēbeh a cognate word, signifies “a reed;” κιβωτός kibōtos Septuagint. גפר goper α. λ., perhaps “fir, cypress, resinous wood.” קן qēn “nest, room; related: prepare, rear up.”16. צהר tsohar

2 Corinthians 9:15 — had been induced to make of them 2 Corinthians 9:1-2; he reminds them of the painful result to his own feelings and theirs if the collection should in any way fail, and it should appear that his confidence in them had been misplaced 2 Corinthians 9:3-5; he refers them to the abundant reward which they might anticipate as the result of liberal benefactions, and of the fact that God loved those who gave cheerfully 2 Corinthians 9:6-7; he reminds them of the abundant grace of God, who was able to supply

Galatians 2:16 — to lead the Gentile converts to believe that it was indispensable to observe the laws of Moses, in order to be justified and saved.That a man is not justified by the works of the law - See the notes at Romans 1:17; Romans 3:20, Romans 3:26; Romans 4:5.But by the faith of Jesus Christ - By believing on Jesus Christ; see the Mark 16:16 note; Romans 3:22 note.Even we have believed in Jesus Christ - We are therefore justified. The object of Paul here seems to be to show, that as they had believed in

Ephesians 4:8 — each one of us, or that the means are furnished by the Redeemer for us to lead holy lives.”(For remarks on the subject of accommodation. in connection with quotations from the Old Testament into the New Testament, see the supplementary notes, Hebrews 1:5, and Hebrews 2:6, note. The principle of accommodation, if admitted at all, should be used with great caution. Doubtless it is sanctioned by great names both in Europe and America. Yet it must be allowed, that the apostles understood the mind of the

Philemon 1:16 — Matthew 19:6, “They are no more twain.” They were once so, but they are not to be regarded as such now; Matthew 22:46, “Neither durst any man, from that day forth ask him any more questions.” They once did it, but now they did not dare to do it; Luke 15:19, “And am no more worthy to be called thy son,” though I once was; John 6:66, “And walked no more with him,” though they once did; see also John 11:54; John 14:19; John 17:11; Acts 8:39; Galatians 4:7; Ephesians 2:19. This passage then proves that

Hebrews 11:7 — fall into this himself. It was simply because God had informed him of it, and he put unwavering reliance on the truth of the divine declaration.Being warned of God - Genesis 6:13.” The Greek word used here means divinely admonished; compare Hebrews 8:5.Of things not seen as yet - Of the flood which was yet future. The meaning is, that there were no visible signs of it; there was nothing which could be a basis of calculation that it would occur. This admonition was given an hundered and twenty years

Hebrews 11:7 — simplemente porque Dios le había informado de ello, y él confiaba inquebrantablemente en la verdad de la declaración divina. Ser advertido de Dios - Génesis 6:13 ". La palabra griega usada aquí significa divinamente amonestada; compare Hebreos 8:5. De cosas que aún no se han visto - De la inundación que aún era futura. El significado es que no había signos visibles de ello; no había nada que pudiera ser una base de cálculo para que ocurriera. A esta advertencia se le dio una advertencia y veinte

Hebrews 7:1 — For this Melchisedek; - compare the notes on Hebrews 5:6. The name Melchizedek, from which the apostle derives a portion of his argument here, is Hebrew, מלכי־צדק Malkiy-Tsedeq, and is correctly explained as meaning “king of righteousness” - being compounded of two words - “king and righteousness.” Why

Hebrews 7:1 — para esta melja; - Compare las notas en Hebreos 5:6. El nombre Melchizedek, de donde aquí el apóstol deriva una parte de su argumento aquí, es hebreo, מלכי-צדק span> Malkiy-Tsedeq, y se explica correctamente como significado "Rey de justicia" - siendo agravado de dos palabras - "Rey y justicia". Por

1 Peter 1:12 — and confirming them to the soul. It was the same Spirit which inspired the prophets which conveyed those truths to the souls of the early Christians, and which discloses them to true believers in every age. Compare John 16:13-14; Acts 2:4; Acts 10:44-45. The object of Peter by thus referring to the prophets, and to the interest which they took in the things which those to whom he wrote now enjoyed, seems to have been, to impress on them a deep sense of the value of the gospel, and of the great privileges

1 Peter 1:12 — del Evangelio. En todos los eventos relacionados con la redención de un mundo, sentían un profundo interés. La palabra que se representa "para mirar" ( παρακύψσαι span> span> parakupsai,) se hace "agacharse" y " agachado, "en Lucas 24:12; Juan 20:5, Juan 20:11 Santiago 1:25; y mira, en el lugar delante de nosotros. No se produce en otro lugar en el Nuevo Testamento. Significa correctamente, para agacharse cerca por cualquier cosa; Para inclinarse hacia adelante, para mirar algo más de cerca,

Revelation 10:6 — denote that directly. It can only denote that because delay occupies or consumes time, but this sense of the noun is not found in the New Testament. It is found, however, in the verb χρονίζω chronizō, to linger, to delay, to be long in coming, Matthew 25:5; Luke 1:21.(b) The absence of the article - “time,” not “the time” - would naturally give it a general signification, unless there was something in the connection to limit it to some well-known period under consideration. See the notes on Revelation

Revelation 10:6 — directamente. Solo puede denotar eso porque la demora ocupa o consume tiempo, pero este sentido del sustantivo no se encuentra en el Nuevo Testamento. Sin embargo, se encuentra en el verbo χρονίζω chronizō, demorarse, retrasarse, demorarse, Mateo 25:5; Lucas 1:21. (b) La ausencia del artículo - "tiempo", no "el tiempo" - naturalmente le daría un significado general, a menos que haya algo en la conexión que lo limite a algún período conocido en consideración. Ver las notas en Apocalipsis 8:2;

Revelation 11 overview — religión en el mundo. Por lo tanto, considero este capítulo como Apocalipsis 11:13, que se extiende hasta la consumación de todas las cosas y que revela la última de las visiones vistas en el rollo o volumen "sellado con los siete sellos", Apocalipsis 5:1. Por una razón sugerida anteriormente, y que aparecerá más completamente en lo sucesivo, el detalle aquí es mucho menos minucioso que en las partes anteriores de las visiones históricas, pero aún abarca todo el período y establece en pocas palabras

Revelation 16:16 — palabra "Armagedón" - Ἀρμαγεδδών Armagedón - no aparece en ningún otro lugar del Nuevo Testamento, y no se encuentra en la Septuaginta. Parece estar formado por el hebreo הר מגדּו har Megidow Har Megiddo - Montaña de Megiddo. Compare 2 Crónicas 35:22, donde se dice que Josías "vino a pelear en el valle de Meguido". Meguido era una ciudad perteneciente a Manasés, aunque dentro de los límites de Isacar, Josué 17:11. Originalmente había sido una de las ciudades reales de los cananeos Josué 12:21,

Revelation 2 overview — o desaprobación expresado con respecto a su conducta. De dos de las iglesias, que en Smyrna Apocalipsis 2:9, y que en Filadelfia Apocalipsis 3:1, expresa su aprobación completa; a las iglesias de Sardis Apocalipsis 3:3 y Laodicea Apocalipsis 3:15, administra una reprimenda decidida; a las iglesias de Éfeso Apocalipsis 2:3, Pérgamo Apocalipsis 2:13 y Tiatira Apocalipsis 3:19-2, él mezcla la alabanza y la reprimenda, porque vio mucho que recomendar, pero, al mismo tiempo, no poco que fuera

Revelation 20:4 — of the saints with Christ during the thousand years of the millennium. The doctrine of the last resurrection, as everywhere stated in the Scripture, is, that the “body” will be raised up, and not merely that the “soul will live” (see 1 Corinthians 15:0, and the notes on that chapter); and consequently John must mean to refer in this place to something different from that resurrection, or to “any” proper resurrection of the dead as the expression is commonly understood.The doctrine which has been

Revelation 3:6 — tenían fuerza, sin embargo, un poco, y habían mantenido su palabra, Rev 3: 8 . (4) Una declaración de que restringiría a algunos que profesaban que eran judíos, pero que eran de la sinagoga de Satanás, para venir y humillarse ante ellos, Rev 3: 9 . (5) La promesa particular a esa iglesia. Los mantendría en la hora de la tentación que vendría a probar todo lo que habitó en la tierra, Apocalipsis 3:10. (6) El comando se dirigió a ellos en cuanto a las otras iglesias. Él lo obligó solemnemente en ellos

Revelation 6 overview — escritor tenía en mente y de lo que quería describir. Se dirigió a las iglesias entonces existentes Apocalipsis 1; Apocalipsis 3, y pon delante de ellos sus pecados y sus deberes; y describió escenas que pasaban ante sus ojos como el presente Rev. 4-5, que fueron diseñadas simplemente para impresionar a su propia mente con la importancia de lo que se iba a revelar, y para llevar a los grandes actores al escenario, y en referencia a que podría haber poco terreno para la diversidad en la interpretación.
