Psalms 15 overview — formal of the statements which we have in the Old Testament on that subject. The form in which the matter is presented is that of a question in the first verse, and of the answer to that question in the other verses of the psalm.I. The question. Psalms 15:1. The question is, who shall be permitted to reside with God in his tabernacle? who shall be entitled to the privilege of dwelling on his holy hill (that is, Zion, regarded as the dwelling-place of God, and the emblem of heaven)? In other words, who

Psalms 81:16 — even of the luxuries - of life. This is in accordance with the usual promises of the Scriptures, that obedience to God will be followed by national temporal prosperity. See Deuteronomy 32:13-14; 1 Timothy 4:8; Psalms 37:11. Compare the notes at Matthew 5:5.With the finest of the wheat - Margin, as in Hebrew, with the fat of wheat. The meaning is, the best of the wheat - as the words fat and fatness are often used to denote excellence and abundance. Genesis 27:28, Genesis 27:39; Job 36:16; Psalms 36:8;

Psalms 81:16 — los lujos, de la vida. Esto está de acuerdo con las promesas habituales de las Escrituras, que la obediencia a Dios será seguida por la prosperidad temporal nacional. Ver Deuteronomio 32:13; 1 Timoteo 4:8; Salmo 37:11. Compare las notas en Mateo 5:5. Con el mejor trigo - Margen, como en hebreo, con la grasa del trigo. El significado es, lo mejor del trigo, ya que las palabras grasa y gordura a menudo se usan para denotar excelencia y abundancia. Génesis 27:28, Génesis 27:39; Job 36:16; Salmo

Isaiah 42:6 — significado es, 'Te daré o nombraré como el medio, o significa por el cual se hará un pacto con el pueblo; o un mediador del nuevo pacto que Dios está a punto de establecer con los hombres (ver Isaías 49:8). Una expresión similar ocurre en Miqueas 5:5, donde se dice del Mesías, 'y este hombre será la paz', es decir, él será la fuente de la paz, o la paz se establecerá y mantendrá por el. Entonces, en Efesios 2:14, se dice de él, "él es nuestra paz". Del pueblo - Se ha dudado si esto significa

Daniel 2:46 — Entonces el rey Nabucodonosor cayó de bruces - Este era el método común para significar un profundo respeto entre los orientales. Compare Génesis 17:3; Génesis 50:18; Levítico 9:24; Números 14:5; Josué 5:14; Jueces 13:2; Apocalipsis 11:16. Y adoró a Daniel - La palabra traducida como "adorada" aquí (סגד s e gid), en las porciones de la Biblia de Caldeo se traduce uniformemente como" adoración ", Daniel

Zephaniah 1:4 — nuevamente "estirados", pero no para ella sino "sobre" ella, "sobre todos los habitantes". de Jerusalén ". En esta amenaza de destrucción de todos, Judá y Jerusalén se destacan, porque el "juicio" "comenzará en la casa de Dios" 1 Pedro 4:17; Jeremias 25:29. Los que hayan pecado contra la gracia mayor serán castigados de manera muy significativa. Sin embargo, el castigo de aquellos a quienes Dios había elegido y amado es un ferviente juicio general. Esto tampoco es un juicio parcial sino general "sobre"

Malachi 4:2 — cometh into the world.”’ Primarily, Malachi speaks of our Lord’s second Coming, when Hebrews 9:28. “to them that look for Him shall He appear, a second time unto salvation.”For as, in so many places (As Psalms 1:6; Psalms 2:12; Psalms 3:7-8; Psalms 5:10-12; Psalms 6:8-10; Psalms 7:16-17; Psalms 9:17-20; Psalms 10:16-18; Psalms 11:6-7; Psalms 17:13-15; Psalms 20:8; Psalms 26:9-12; Psalms 31:23; Psalms 32:10-11; Psalms 34:21-22; Psalms 35:26-28; Psalms 36:10-12; Psalms 37:38-40; Psalms 40:15-17; Psalms

Matthew 1:19 — sought, therefore, secretly to dissolve the connection, and to restore her to her friends without the punishment commonly inflicted on adultery. The word just has not unfrequently this meaning of mildness, or mercy. See 1 John 1:9; compare Cicero, De Fin. 5, 23.A public example - To expose her to public shame or infamy. Adultery has always been considered a crime of a very heinous nature. In Egypt, it was punished by cutting off the nose of the adulteress; in Persia, the nose and ears were cut off; in

Mark overview — several times mentioned in the New Testament. He was not an apostle, or companion of the Lord Jesus, during his ministry, though some of the fathers affirm that he was one of the seventy disciples. This is improbable, as he is mentioned by Peter 1 Peter 5:13 as “his son;” from which it is supposed that he was converted by the instrumentality of Peter.From the New Testament we learn that he was sister’s son to Barnabas Colossians 4:10; and that his mother’s name was Mary, a pious woman in Jerusalem, at

Romans 12:10 — to the brethren. The word denotes the affection which subsists between brethren. The duty is one which is often presented in the New Testament, and which our Saviour intended should be regarded as a badge of discipleship; see the note at John 13:34-35, “By this shall all people know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another;” John 15:12, John 15:17; Ephesians 5:2; 1Th 4:9; 1 Peter 1:22; 1 John 2:7-8; 1 John 3:11, 1 John 3:23; 1 John 4:20-21. The apostle Paul in this place manifests

Romans 14:9 — every Christian feels 1 Peter 1:18, and its force is continually resting on him. It was by the love of Christ that he was ever brought to love God at all; and his deepest and tenderest obligations to live to him arise from this source; 2 Corinthians 5:14-15.(2) Jesus, by his death and resurrection, established a dominion over the grave. He destroyed him that had the power of death, Hebrews 2:14, and triumphed over him; Colossians 2:15. Satan is a humbled foe; and his sceptre over the grave is wrested

Romans 16:17 — converts as Christian brethren. The Jews were perpetually thus recalling the Christian converts to the Law of Moses; insisting on the observance of those rites; troubling the churches, and producing dissensions and strifes; Galatians 3:1; Galatians 5:1-8; Acts 15:1, Acts 15:24.Divisions - Dissensions; parties; factions; 1 Corinthians 3:3; Galatians 5:20. The very “attempt” to form such parties was evil, no matter what the pretence. They who attempt to form parties in the churches are commonly actuated

Romans 5:10 — For if - The idea in this verse is simply a repetition and enlargement of that in Romans 5:9. The apostle dwells on the thought, and places it in a new light, furnishing thus a strong confirmation of his position.When we were enemies - The work was undertaken while we were enemies. From being enemies we were changed to friends by that work.

1 Corinthians 5:7 — “taken the place” of the paschal lamb - that that lamb was designed to adumbrate or typify him - and that consequently when he was offered, the paschal offering was designed to cease. Christ is often in the Scriptures compared to a lamb. See Isaiah 53:7; Joh 1:29; 1 Peter 1:19; Revelation 5:6, Revelation 5:12.Is sacrificed for us - Margin, Or “slain” (ἐτυθη etuthē). The word θύω thuō may mean simply to slay or kill; but it is also used often in the sense of making a sacrifice as an expiation

1 Corinthians 5:7 — cordero pascual, que ese cordero fue diseñado para adularlo o tipificarlo, y que, en consecuencia, cuando se le ofreció, la ofrenda pascual estaba diseñada para cesar. Cristo está a menudo en las Escrituras en comparación con un cordero. Ver Isaías 53:7; Joh 1:29 ; 1 Pedro 1:19; Apocalipsis 5:6, Apocalipsis 5:12. Se sacrifica por nosotros - Margen, o "asesinado" (ἐτυθη etuthē). La palabra θύω thuō puede significar simplemente matar o matar; pero también se usa a menudo en el sentido de hacer

1 Thessalonians 3:1 — his strong desire to visit them, which he had been unable to accomplish 1 Thessalonians 2:18, and he here refers to another - to wit, the fact that he had sent Timothy to them.We could no longer forbear - That is, when I could not 1 Thessalonians 3:5, for there is every evidence that Paul refers to himself only though he uses the plural form of the word. There was no one with him at Athens after he had sent Timothy away Acts 17:15; Acts 18:5, and this shows that when, in 1 Thessalonians 2:6, he

Hebrews 11:8 — By faith Abraham - There is no difficulty in determining that Abraham was influenced by faith in God. The case is even stronger than that of Noah, for it is expressly declared, Genesis 15:6, “And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.” Compare notes, Romans 4:1-5. In the illustrations of the power of faith in this chapter, the apostle appeals to two instances in which it was exhibited by Abraham, “the father

James 5 overview — Los temas que se presentan en este capítulo son los siguientes: I. Un discurso a los hombres ricos, y una severa condena de la forma en que vivieron, Santiago 5:1. Ha habido varias opiniones con respecto a las personas aquí mencionadas. (1) Algunos han supuesto que la dirección es para judíos incrédulos, y que el castigo que amenaza el apóstol era el que los ejércitos romanos iban a imponer a la nación. Pero,

1 John 5:8 — And there are three that bear witness in earth - This is a part of the text, which, if the reasoning above is correct, is to be omitted. The genuine passage reads, 1 John 5:7, “For there are three that bear record (or witness, μαρτυροῦντες marturountes) - the Spirit, and the water, and the blood.” There is no reference to the fact that it is done “in earth.” The phrase was introduced to correspond with what was said in

1 John 5:8 — y hay tres que sean testigos de la Tierra - Esto es una parte del texto, que, si el razonamiento anterior es correcto, se debe omitir. El pasaje genuino lee, 1 Juan 5:7, "porque hay tres que tienen un registro (o testigo, μαρτυροῦντες span> span> Marturtountes) - El Espíritu, y el agua, y la sangre". No hay referencia al hecho de que se hace "en la Tierra". La frase se introdujo para que se correspondiera con lo
