Exodus 20:12 — niños rinden a sus padres se considera una especie de piedad, algunos han colocado tontamente este precepto en la Primera Mesa. Paul tampoco los apoya en esto, aunque él no enumera este Mandamiento, donde recoge la suma de la Segunda Tabla, ( Romanos 13:9;) porque lo hace de manera diseñada, porque allí está enseñando expresamente esa obediencia debe pagarse a la autoridad de reyes y magistrados. Sin embargo, Cristo pone fin a toda la controversia, donde, entre los preceptos de la Segunda Mesa, enumera
Isaiah 27:1 — proclamación de esta venganza. En leviatán. La palabra "leviatán" se interpreta de diversas maneras; pero en general simplemente denota una serpiente grande, o ballenas y peces marinos, que se acercan al carácter de los monstruos debido a su enorme tamaño. (189) A1Aunque esta descripción se aplica al rey de Egipto, sin embargo, en una clase, también tenía la intención de incluir a los otros enemigos de la Iglesia. Por mi parte, no tengo dudas de que habla alegóricamente de Satanás y de todo su reino, describiéndolo
Isaiah 9:6 — su rango, declara en las siguientes declaraciones. Y el gobierno ha sido puesto sobre su hombro. Suponer, como algunos lo hacen, que esto es una alusión a la cruz de Cristo es manifiestamente infantil. Cristo llevó la cruz sobre sus hombros, ( Juan 19:17), y por la cruz obtuvo un triunfo espléndido sobre el príncipe de este mundo. ( Juan 14:30.) Pero como se dice aquí que el gobierno fue puesto sobre sus hombros en el mismo sentido en que veremos que la llave de la casa de David fue puesta sobre
Ezekiel 1:25 — rastro de la naturaleza humana. Ahora vemos qué cosas monstruosas fabricó este impostor. Pero nuestro Profeta disipa tales nubes cuando dice: luego apareció la apariencia de un hombre. Daniel nos describe el trono de Dios más claramente, quien ( Daniel 7:9 y siguientes) presenta al Anciano de los Días como portador de la figura de un hombre. Allí Dios se coloca en la cumbre más alta: luego Cristo el Mediador se une a él: y Daniel dice que fue llevado al Anciano de los Días, porque como Cristo desciende
Ezekiel 1:4 — shrewd conjecture it has no solidity. Some take the contrary view, and think that four passions are here intended, viz. fear and hope, sorrow and joy. Some think that three faculties of the mind are denoted. For in the soul, τὸ λόγικον, is the seat of reason; θύμικον , that of the passions; ἐπιθυμήτικον , that of the lusts; and συντέρεσις
Ezekiel 1:4 — cuatro cabezas para cada uno: porque si deseaba acomodar su lenguaje a los ritos del Santuario, ¿por qué no colocó dos querubines, con los cuales Dios estaba contento? ( Éxodo 20:18;) porque aquí parece apartarse del mandato de Dios mismo: ( Números 7:89) ahora, cuatro cabezas y pies redondos, no se adaptan a los dos querubines por quienes El arca del pacto estaba rodeada. Pero la solución está al alcance: el Profeta alude al Santuario o, al mismo tiempo, a doblegar su discurso ante la rudeza de la
Ezekiel 2:3 — Isaías; porque cuando es enviado por Dios, no solo le dicen que debe hablar con los sordos, sino que lo que Dios le propone es aún más difícil. Ve, dice él, deja ciegos los ojos de esta gente, y sus oídos sin brillo, y su corazón obstinado. ( Isaías 6:9.) Por lo tanto, no solo Isaías ve que estaría expuesto al ridículo, y por lo tanto pierde el fruto de su trabajo, sino que ve que su dirección tiene una sola tendencia, y que el cegamiento de los judíos: no, incluso su triple destrucción, aunque una
Ezekiel 4:4 — habían perecido; ni el Profeta soportó su iniquidad como si pagaran la pena de sus pecados. Pero sabemos que esta es la forma habitual de las Escrituras, porque Dios considera los pecados de la tercera y cuarta generación. ( Éxodo 20:5; Deuteronomio 5:9.) Cuando, por lo tanto, Dios deseaba que las diez tribus fueran arrastradas al exilio, las castigaba por su maldad trescientos noventa años. Posteriormente, soportó con la ciudad de Jerusalén por un tiempo determinado, y soportó una impiedad similar
Daniel 7:25 — yet,” says he. He announces them as the preludes to greater evils, when the whole of Judea should be devastated with wars and other slaughters. He afterwards adds, “Unless those days had been shortened.” (Matthew 24:6; Mark 13:7; Luke 21:9.) This shortening of the days is here noticed as if the Lord cut short; a continued succession of them. For when the possession of the tyranny appeared fierce, then suddenly and beyond the expectation of all, God at length snatched away his Church,
Hosea 1:10 — he says by Hosea, I will call a people, who were not mine, my people; and her beloved, who was not beloved: and it shall be, where it had been said to them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the sons of the living God,’ (Romans 9:24, etc.) Paul applies this passage, and that rightly, to the whole body of the faithful, collected without any difference, from the Jews as well as from the Gentiles: for otherwise, as we have said, the correctness and truth of prophecy would not
Zephaniah 1:5 — de manera diferente: es para [(ל)] Jehová; y por [(ב)] Milcam. Jurar, es hacer una promesa a otro por juramento, o, en este caso, jurar lealtad a Dios: pero jurar es apelar a otro como testigo de un compromiso. Tenemos las dos formas juntas en Josué 9:19. Los judíos hicieron una profesión solemne de obediencia a Dios, y sin embargo reconocieron a Melcam como Dios, al apelar a él como testigo de la verdad. Se llama la abominación de los amonitas, 1 Reyes 11:33 La imagen de este dios, según los Rabbins,
Zephaniah 3:11 — very few only remained. It could not then be, but that the ruin of their brethren greatly affected the Jews, though they knew them to be reprobate. We indeed see how Paul felt a sympathy, when he saw that his own nation were alienated from God. Romans 9:6. So it was necessary that some consolation should be given to the faithful, that they might patiently bear the diminution of the Church, which had been previously predicted. Hence the Prophet, that he might moderate their grief, says, that this would
Haggai 1:1 — now to our Prophet: he says, In the second year of Darius it was commanded to me by the Lord to reprove the sloth of the people. We may readily conclude that more than twenty years had elapsed since the people began to return to their own country. (129) Some say thirty or forty years, and others go beyond that number; but this is not probable. Some say that the Jews returned to their country in the fifty-eighth year of their captivity; but this is not true, and may be easily disproved by the words
Haggai 2:15 — extrañar que el Profeta los haya tratado de la manera aquí indicada. Sigamos - Si conservamos este significado, debemos considerar este versículo, y su repetición en el versículo 18, como el comienzo de una oración, que se completa al final del versículo 19, como cláusulas intermedias. Entonces el pasaje sería el siguiente: 15. Y ahora toma, rezo, nota; Desde este día en adelante, Desde el momento de colocar una piedra sobre una piedra En el templo de Jehová, 16. Desde el momento en que llegaste
Matthew 23:37 — basely profaned the glow of God by staining the beauty of his favors. How often would I have gathered together thy children. This is expressive of indignation rather than of compassion. The city itself, indeed, over which he had lately wept, (Luke 19:41,) is still an object of his compassion; but towards the scribes, who were the authors of its destruction, he uses harshness and severity, as they deserved. And yet he does not spare the rest, who were all guilty of approving and partaking of the
Matthew 26:39 — 39.And he went forward a little. We have seen in other passages, that in order to excite himself to greater earnestness of prayer, the Lord prayed in the absence of witnesses; for when we are withdrawn from the gaze of men, we succeed better in collecting
Romans 8:3 — “eo quod — because:” and though perhaps such a phrase does not occur among good authors in the Greek language, yet as the Apostles everywhere adopt Hebrew modes of expression, this interpretation ought not to be deemed improper. (239) No doubt intelligent readers will allow, that the cause of defect is what is here expressed, as we shall shortly prove again. Now though [Erasmus ] supplies the principal verb, yet the text seems to me to flow better without it. The copulative καὶ,
2 Corinthians overview — THE ARGUMENT ON THE SECOND EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS. So far as we can judge from the connection of this Epistle, it appears that the first Epistle was not without some good effect among the Corinthians, (199) but at the same time was not productive of so much benefit as it ought to have been; and farther, that some wicked persons, despising Paul’s authority, persisted in their obstinacy. For the fact of his being so much occupied, at one time in
2 Corinthians 3:6 — enter upon it. For my part, as I see no evidence that the false apostles had there confounded the law and the gospel, I am rather of opinion, that, as he had to do with lifeless declaimers, who endeavored to obtain applause through mere prating, (379) and as he saw, that the ears of the Corinthians were captivated with such glitter, he was desirous to show them what was the chief excellence of the gospel, and what was the chief praise of its ministers. Now this he makes to consist in the efficacy
2 Corinthians 4:4 — God, as applied to Christ, does not express a true, eternal, and exclusive divinity. For Paul says elsewhere, many are called gods, (1 Corinthians 8:5;) but David, on the other hand, sings forth — the gods of the nations are demons. (438) (Psalms 96:5.) When, therefore, the devil is called the god of the wicked, on the ground of his having dominion over them, and being worshipped by them in the place of God, what tendency has this to detract from the honor of Christ? And as to the Manicheans,
