Leviticus 10:3 — 3. Entonces Moisés dijo a Aarón: Esto es lo que el Señor dijo que Moisés impide que su hermano ceda ante el dolor excesivo; porque esto fue un golpe muy amargo después de su reciente alegría de verse a sí mismo privado de dos hijos el mismo día, y en

Isaiah 11:16 — perceive the same power of God in the deliverance from Babylon as they had perceived in the deliverance from Egypt. He had opened up a way through seas, (Exodus 14:29; Psalms 77:19,) through untrodden deserts, (Deuteronomy 8:2,) and through Jordan; (Joshua 3:16.) In like manner, Isaiah says, that by an unexpected and astonishing method he will again open up a way for his people to go out. Accordingly, what the Lord has once performed let us also expect for the future; and for that purpose let us ponder

Isaiah 36:3 — 3.And Eliakim went to him. Eliakim was formerly mentioned. It was he to whom the Lord promised that he would give him the chief power in the kingdom after the banishment of Shebna. (Isaiah 22:20.) It now appears as if that promise had failed, when he

Isaiah 60:3 — 3. Y los gentiles caminarán. Él confirma lo que ya hemos dicho, que no hay otra luz de hombres sino cuando el Señor brilla sobre ellos por su palabra. Todos de hecho reconocen esto; pero no establecen un valor tan alto como deberían en este beneficio,

Jeremiah 48:16 — verdad, que siempre debe recordarse como promesas y amenazas, que mil años son como un día con el Señor: y de ahí es esa exhortación dada por el Profeta Habacuc, "Si la profecía se retrasa, espere; por venir vendrá, y no se retrasará ". ( Habacuc 2:3) Y este modo de hablar ocurre a menudo en los profetas. Por lo tanto, cuando Dios denuncia el castigo a los malvados y a los que desprecian su Ley, dice: "He aquí, tu día se apresura", y dice esto, para que puedan despertarse y comenzar a temer a su

Matthew 26:75 — están dolidos por el dolor y la tristeza, y que no se sienten avergonzados ni siquiera por derramar lágrimas. Y, por lo tanto, la Escritura, después de haber condenado a los hombres por sus crímenes, los exhorta a hacer cilicio y cenizas, ( Daniel 9:3; Jonás 3:6; Mateo 11:21.)

Luke 2:22 — Lucas hace que se aplique tanto a María como a Cristo: porque el pronombre αὐτῶν, de ellos, no puede tener ninguna referencia a José. Pero no debería parecer extraño, que Cristo, quien debía ser, hizo una maldición por nosotros en la cruz ”, ( Gálatas 3:13), para nuestro beneficio, debe tomar sobre él nuestra impureza con respeto a la culpa legal, aunque él era "sin mancha y sin mancha" ( 1 Pedro 1:19). No debería, como digo, parecer extraño, si la fuente de la pureza, para lavar nuestras manchas ,

Luke 3:6 — Luke 3:6And all flesh shall see the salvation of God That salvation will not be at all obscure, or experienced by a small number of persons, but will strike every eye, and will be common to all. Hence it follows that this prediction was far from being accomplished,

Luke 8:3 — Luke 8:3.Joanna, the wife of Chuza It is uncertain whether or not Luke intended his statement to be applied to those women in the same manner as to Mary To me it appears probable that she is placed first in order, as a person in whom Christ had given a signal

John 1:28 — supposed by some to be a passage across Jordan, and, from this circumstance, they derive the name, for they interpret it the house of passage; unless, perhaps, some may prefer the opinion of those who refer to the memorable passage of the people, (Joshua 3:13,) when God opened up a way for them in the midst of the waters, under the direction of Joshua. Others say that it ought rather to be read Betharaba. Instead of Bethabara, some have inserted here the name Bethany, but this is a mistake; for we shall

John 1:32 — 32. Vi al Espíritu, descendiendo como una paloma. Este no es un modo de expresión literal sino figurativo; porque con qué ojos podía ver el Espíritu? Pero como la paloma era un signo cierto e infalible de la presencia del Espíritu, se le llama Espíritu,

John 17:22 — the likeness of the glory of the Father has been engraved, so as to form his members to the resemblance of it. Paul also teaches us this, that we all, with unveiled face, by beholding THE GLORY OF GOD, are changed into the same image, (2 Corinthians 3:18.) Hence it follows, that no one ought to be reckoned among the disciples of Christ, unless we perceive the glory of God impressed on him, as with a seal, by the likeness of Christ. To the same purpose are the words which immediately follow:

John 9:18 — heart keeps their eyes shut? Paul informs us that the same thing takes place in the doctrine of the Gospel; for he says that it is not hidden or obscure, except to the reprobate, whose understandings the god of this world hath blinded, (2 Corinthians 4:3.) Warned by such examples, let us learn not to bring upon ourselves those obstacles which drive us away from the faith. By the Jews, the Evangelist means that part of them which held the government of the people.

Acts 25:11 — Wherefore, if we be at any time brought into like straits, we must not be superstitious, but we may crave help of the laws and politic order. Because it is written, that magistrates are made and appointed by God to the praise of the godly ( Romans 13:3; and 1 Peter 2:13). Neither was Paul afraid to go to law under an unbelieving judge; for he which appealeth commenceth a new action. − Therefore, let us know that God, who hath appointed judgment-seats, doth also grant liberty to his to use

1 Corinthians 15:43 — 43.It is sown in corruption That there may be no doubt remaining, Paul explains himself, by unfolding the difference between their present condition, and that which will be after the resurrection. What connection, then, would there be in his discourse,

Ephesians 6:3 — 3.That it may be well with thee. The promise is — a long life; from which we are led to understand that the present life is not to be overlooked among the gifts of God. On this and other kindred subjects I must refer my reader to the Institutes

1 Timothy 1:3 — 3. Como te dije, o la sintaxis es elíptica o la partícula ἵνα es redundante; y en ambos casos el significado será obvio. (3) Primero, le recuerda a Timothy por qué se le pidió que permaneciera en Éfeso. Fue con gran renuencia, y por dura necesidad,

Titus 2:3 — 3.That aged women in like manner We very frequently see, that females advanced in age either continue to dress with the lightness of youthful years, or have something superstitious in their apparel, and seldom hit the golden mean. Paul wished to guard

Hebrews 10:3 — 3.A remembrance again, etc. Though the Gospel is a message of reconciliation with God, yet it is necessary that we should daily remember our sins; but what the Apostle means is, that sins were brought to remembrance that guilt might be removed by the

2 Peter 1:1 — cause of faith is called God’s righteousness for this reason, because no one is capable of conferring it on himself. So the righteousness that is to be understood, is not that which remains in God, but that which he imparts to men, as in Romans 3:22. Besides, he ascribes this righteousness in common to God and to Christ, because it flows from God, and through Christ it flows down to us. (145) (144) Simeon, and not Simon, is the name as here given, though a few copies and the Vulg. have Simon.
