Genesis 2:16 — 16.And the Lord God commanded Moses now teaches, that man was the governor of the world, with this exception, that he should, nevertheless, be subject to God. A law is imposed upon him in token of his subjection; for it would have made no difference to

Exodus 1:7 — 7.And the children of Israel were fruitful. (8) To what an extent they increased Moses relates in the 12th chapter, viz., to the number of 600,000, besides women and children; which was certainly an incredible increase for so short a time. For, though 430 years be counted from the date of the covenant with Abraham to the departure of the people, it is

Exodus 33:1 — 1.Depart, and go up hence, thou and the people I have used the pluperfect tense; (360) for the reason is here given, whereby Moses was stirred up to such vehemence in prayer, viz., because, although God had not altogether abandoned the care of the people,

Leviticus 17:10 — 10.And whatsoever make there be of the house of Israel. God here not only condemns to death whosoever shall have polluted themselves by eating of blood, but declares that He will Himself take vengeance on them, though they may escape from the hands of

Isaiah 19:19 — 19.In that day shall there be an altar in the midst of the land of Egypt. He continues what he had said in the former verse, and states more clearly that the aspect of Egypt will be renewed, because there true religion will flourish, the pure worship

Isaiah 30:8 — (289) But when any prediction was remarkable and peculiarly worthy of being remembered, then the Lord commanded that it should be written in larger characters, that the people might be induced to read it, and to examine it more attentively. (Isaiah 8:1; Habakkuk 2:2.) The Lord now commands that this should be done, in order to intimate that this was no ordinary affair, that the whole ought to be carefully written, and deserved the closest attention, and that it ought not only to be read, but to be

Isaiah 33:18 — 18.Thy heart shall meditate terror. Believers are again informed what calamities are at hand, lest, by being suddenly overtaken with such heavy afflictions, they should sink under them. יהגה (yehgeh) is translated by some in

Isaiah 42:3 — gave a manifestation of this meekness when he appointed Christ to begin the discharge of his office as ambassador; for the Holy Spirit was sent from heaven in the shape of a dove, which was a token of nothing but mildness and gentleness. (Matthew 3:16; Mark 1:10; Luke 3:22; John 1:32.) And indeed the sign perfectly agrees with the reality; for he makes no great noise, and does not render himself an object of terror, as earthly kings commonly do, and does not wish to harass or oppress his people

Isaiah 45:19 — 19.Not in secret have I spoken. He now recalls the people to the doctrine of the Law, because God cannot be comprehended by human faculties; but as he is concealed from carnal reason, so he abundantly reveals himself, and affords the remedy, by his word,

Isaiah 48:14 — 14.Assemble, all of you, and hear. There can be no doubt that the Prophet addresses the Jews, though here he utters nothing that ought not to be acknowledged by all. But because unbelieving and irreligious men have no ears, on this account he does not

Isaiah 50:1 — 1.Where is that bill of divorcement? There are various interpretations of this passage, but very few of the commentators have understood the Prophet’s meaning. In order to have a general understanding of it, we must observe that union by which the

Isaiah 58:1 — 1.Cry with the throat. This chapter has been badly divided; for these words are connected with what goes before; and therefore, if we wish to understand the Prophet’s meaning, we ought to read them as if there had been no separation. The Prophet

Isaiah 58:4 — this day. At length he rejects their fasts, however highly they may value them; because in this manner the wrath of God is still more provoked. Immediately afterwards he rejects also their prayers. That ye may make your voice to be heard on high. (120) Hence it is evident, (as we have explained fully in our exposition of Isaiah 1:11,) that God approves of no duties which are not accompanied by sincere uprightness of heart. Certainly no sacrifice is more excellent than calling upon God; and yet

Numbers 33:1 — 1.These are the journeys of the children of Israel. Moses had not previously enumerated all the stations in which the people had encamped, but scarcely more than those in which something memorable had occurred, especially after the passage of the Red

Matthew 24:22 — judíos, si Dios no mirara a sus elegidos, y por su parte otorgan algún alivio. . Este pasaje concuerda con el de Isaías: A menos que el Señor nos hubiera dejado una pequeña semilla, hubiéramos sido como Sodoma, y ​​habríamos sido como Gomorra, ( Isaías 1:9). Porque era necesario, como nos asegura Pablo, que la venganza de Dios, que había sido exhibida en el cautiverio babilónico, se cumpliera nuevamente en la venida de Cristo, ( Romanos 9:29.) Más aún, en proporción como nuestra maldad era mayor, merecía

John 16:13 — 13. Pero cuando él ha venido, el Espíritu de verdad. El Espíritu, a quien Cristo prometió a los apóstoles, se declara perfecto Maestro o Maestro (96) de la verdad Y por qué fue prometido, pero para que ellos puedan entregar ¿De mano en mano la sabiduría

Acts 17:24 — плотскими и земными, они хотят того, что отвечает их природе. Затем, по мере собственной дерзости они воображают то, что способны постичь. Такими вот измышлениями искажается истинное и чистое познание Бога. Больше того, истина Его, как говорит Павел (Romans 1:25), обращается в ложь. Ибо всякий, не поднимающийся над миром, вместо Бога почитает пустые тени и образы. Далее, если крылья веры не возносят нас на небеса, мы с необходимостью изнемогаем в собственных измышлениях. И не удивительно, что язычники обманулись

2 Corinthians 1:20 — segura, en la medida en que no contiene nada más que a Cristo, en quien están todos establecidos". Sin embargo, como en estas palabras quiere decir simplemente que predicó un evangelio que era genuino y no adulterado por ninguna adición extranjera, (291) sigamos Considere esta doctrina general, que todas las promesas de Dios descansan solo en Cristo como su apoyo, un sentimiento que es digno de ser recordado, y es uno de los artículos principales de nuestra fe. Sin embargo, depende de otro principio:

1 Timothy 3:16 — всяких трудностей следую принятому греками чтению. Ведь причина того, что описываемое затем явление Христово апостол называет тайной, вполне ясна. Ибо это и есть та высота, глубина и широта премудрости, о которых упоминает Павел в Послании к Ефесянам 3:18, и перед которыми цепенеют все наши чувства. А теперь рассмотрим все по порядку. Апостол не мог удачнее описать личность Христову, нежели сказав о ней: Бог явился во плоти. Ибо, во-первых, здесь мы видим ясное свидетельство двух природ во Христе. Павел

2 Timothy 2:19 — 19 Sin embargo, el fundamento de Dios permanece firme. Sabemos muy bien, por experiencia, cuánto escándalo es producido por la apostasía de aquellos que en algún momento profesaron la misma fe con nosotros mismos. Este es especialmente el caso con aquellos
