Bible Commentaries

Psalms 22:9 — 9. Seguramente tú. David nuevamente aquí levanta una nueva fortaleza, para resistir y repeler las maquinaciones de Satanás. Enumera brevemente los beneficios que Dios le ha otorgado, por los cuales hace mucho tiempo se enteró de que era su padre. Sí,

Isaiah 1:9 — 9.Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us Here he concludes what he had formerly declared concerning God’s chastisements, that the desolation which shall take place — or rather which is present, and which they now behold — may be compared

Isaiah 45:18 — luna, no fallará. Luego el Profeta usará un argumento aún más fuerte. “Si el pacto que Dios hizo con Noé, en cuanto al orden establecido de este mundo, es estable, mucho más el pacto que ha hecho con respecto a la Iglesia debe ser estable. ( Isaías 54:9; Génesis 9:9.) El mundo se está desvaneciendo y es corruptible; pero la Iglesia, es decir, el reino de Cristo, será eterna; y, por lo tanto, es razonable creer que las promesas que se relacionan con la Iglesia serán indudablemente más estables y permanentes

Isaiah 54:9 — 9.For the waters of Noah, or, As the days of Noah. There are two readings of this passage; for if we read it כי מי (ki me), כי (ki) must be translated for; and if we read it כימי, (kime,)

Jeremiah 23:11 — say a word against those crimes of which they were themselves guilty, yea, with which they were more loaded than even the common people. We now perceive the Prophet’s object in saying that both the priests and the prophets had acted impiously; (90) it was to shew, that their contempt of God, for which they were notorious, and also their wickedness, had taken away from them all power and freedom in acting. It is added, Even in my house have I found their wickedness He enhances what he had said

Ezekiel 13:20 — rodeados de estos atractivos. Como, entonces, usa la misma palabra, deducimos de esto que la frase no puede usarse indiscriminadamente. Porque Dios sufre que muchos perezcan, como lo dice el profeta Zacarías: "Deja que lo que perece perezca" ( Zacarías 9:9); pero mientras tanto rescató a un pequeño número como el remanente de su elección, como dice Paul. ( Romanos 11:5.)

Matthew 24:22 — the Jews, if God did not look to his elect, and on their account grant some alleviation. This passage agrees with that of Isaiah: Unless the Lord had left us a small seed, we would have been as Sodom, and we would have been like Gomorrah, (Isaiah 1:9.) For it was necessary, as Paul assures us, that the vengeance of God, which had been displayed in the Babylonish captivity, should be again fulfilled at the coming of Christ, (Romans 9:29.) Nay more, in proportion as our wickedness was greater, it

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

Mark 9:20 — Mark 9:20.And as soon as he saw him. That the devil should rage with more than ordinary cruelty against the man, when he is brought to Christ, ought not to excite surprise; for in proportion as the grace of Christ is seen to be nearer at hand, and acts more

Mark 9:50 — Mark 9:50.Have salt in yourselves This word may be taken in a different sense from what it had in the former verse, as meaning that seasoning of good odor, which is obtained by faith, or rather the wisdom of the Spirit. When Paul enjoins, “Let your speech

John 12:14 — бывают повторы, и они дважды выражают одно и то же разными словами. На осла, – говорит пророк, – и на сына подъяремной. Наш же Евангелист, заботясь о краткости, опустил первое слово и привел лишь второе. Далее, исполнившееся тогда пророчество Захарии (9:9) сами иудеи вынуждены относить к Мессии. И они клевещут на нас, что, обманувшись символом осла, мы воздаем Сыну Марии почести Помазанника. Но наша вера опирается совсем на другие свидетельства. Когда мы говорим, что Иисус есть Христос, мы исходим

John 5:26 — only because he alone lives by his own inherent power, but because, containing in himself the fullness oflife, he communicates life to all things. And this, indeed, belongs peculiarly to God, as it is said, With thee is the fountain of life, (Psalms 36:9.) But because the majesty of God, being far removed from us, would resemble an unknown and hidden source, for this reason it has been openly manifested in Christ. We have thus an open fountain placed before us, from which we may draw. The meaning of

John 8:59 — 59.Then they took up stones. There is reason to believe that they did this, as if Christ ought to be stoned according to the injunction of the Law, (Leviticus 24:16.) Hence we infer how great is the madness of inconsiderate zeal; for they have no ears

Acts 18:22 — not without great pains-taking, because he was enforced to go hither and thither, and oft to turn out of his way; for this word [ καθεξης ] doth signify a continual course. Now, we have already declared ( Acts 9:36) in what respect those be called disciples who had given their names to Christ, and professed the name of Christ; to wit, because there is no godliness without true instruction. They had, indeed, their pastors under whom they might profit. Yet the

Acts 7:20 — before he is born. But that time is most fit for God to work in, when there is no hope or counsel to be looked for at man’s hands. And it appeareth also most plainly how God doth make perfect his power in man’s weakness, (2 Corinthians 41:9.) Moses is kept three months, but at length his parents (that they may save their own lives) are enforced to cast him out into the river. Only they put him into a little coffer, (407) that he may not by and by [immediately] perish. When as Pharaoh’s

Romans 13:9 — 9.For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, etc. It cannot be from this passage concluded what precepts are contained in the second table, for he subjoins at the end, and if there be any other precept He indeed omits the command respecting the honoring

2 Thessalonians 1:5 — и небрежение. Ведь те, кто незаслуженно что-то претерпевает, либо винят в этом Бога, либо думают, что Он не заботится о людских делах. Мы знаем, что по этому поводу говорил Овидий: склоняюсь я к мысли, будто богов нет и вовсе. (Любовные Элегии III, 9, 36. ) И даже Давид признается, что (Psalms 72:2) чуть не усомнился, видя расстроенное положение дел в этом мире. И наоборот, нечестивые по мере успехов все больше распоясываются, словно их не ждет никакое наказание. Подобно тому, как Дионисий по завершении

2 Timothy 2:7 — we scarcely arrive at a full knowledge of it. The Lord give thee understanding in all things The prayer, which now follows, is added by way of correction. Because our minds do not easily rise to that “incorruptible crown” (1 Corinthians 9:25) of the life to come, (164) Paul betakes himself to God, to “give understanding” to Timothy. And hence we infer, that not less are we taught in vain, if the Lord do not open our understandings, than the commandments would be given in

Hebrews 8:9 — 9.Not according to the covenant, etc. Here is expressed the difference between the covenant which then existed and the new one which he caused them to expect. The Prophet might have otherwise said only: “I will renew the covenant which through your

Hebrews 9:6 — were to look for something else. Then foolishly did they act who, by retaining the shadows of the Law, willfully obstructed their own way. He mentionsπρώτην σκηνὴν the first tabernacle, in Hebrews 9:2, in a different sense from what it has here, for here it means the first sanctuary, but there the whole tabernacle; for he sets it in opposition to the spiritual sanctuary of Christ, which he presently mentions. He contends that this had fallen for
