Genesis 25:1 — 1. Luego Abraham tomó una esposa (15) Parece muy absurdo que Abraham, quien se dice que murió en su propio cuerpo treinta y ocho años antes del fallecimiento de Sarah, debería, después de su muerte, casarse con otra esposa. Tal acto era, ciertamente,
Leviticus 26:3 — respects believers, whilst they endeavor to consecrate themselves to God, although they are still far from perfection; according to the teaching of the Prophet, “I will spare them as a man spareth his own son that serveth him,” (Malachi 3:17;) as much as to say, that their obedience would not be acceptable to Him because it was deserving, but because He visits it with His paternal favor. Whence it appears how foolish is the pride of those who imagine that they make God their debtor, as
Isaiah 11:1 — 1. Pero saldrá una vara. Como la descripción de tales terribles calamidades podría aterrorizar a los piadosos y darles razones para la desesperación, era necesario ofrecer consuelo; porque cuando el reino fue destruido, las ciudades derribadas y la desolación
Isaiah 27:11 — 11. Cuando su cosecha se marchite. (207) Algunos piensan que el Profeta tiene en su ojo la metáfora de una viña, que empleó al comienzo del capítulo, y por lo tanto traducen קציר (kātzīr,) ramas. La palabra es ciertamente ambigua; pero como קציר (kātzīr)
Isaiah 34:10 — 10.By night and by day it shall not be quenched. The Prophet’s language is undoubtedly hyperbolical; but the Lord is compelled to act towards us in this manner, for otherwise plain words would produce no impression on us. When he declares that the
Isaiah 42:1 — 1.Behold my servant. The Prophet appears to break off abruptly to speak of Christ, but we ought to remember what we mentioned formerly (150) in expounding another passage, (Isaiah 7:14,) that the prophets, when they promise anything hard to be believed,
Isaiah 49:21 — 21. Y dirás en tu corazón. Con estas palabras, declara que la restauración de la Iglesia, de la que habla ahora, será maravillosa; y, por lo tanto, la representa asombrada y asombrada por haber sido restaurada de una manera extraña e inesperada. Y realmente
Jeremiah 22:11 — the probable conjecture is, that he was not his son but his grandson, for the chosen successor of his father was Jehoiakim, called also Eliakim. Yet Matthew calls him the son of Josiah, and that he was born to him together with his brethren. (Matthew 1:11.) But we know that it was a common thing with the Hebrews to call descendants sons, especially when the family of David was spoken of; that the order of succession might be preserved, those who next followed their predecessors were called sons. Thus,
Jeremiah 4:23 — apprehension of punishment. But this passage is remarkable above most others: we ought therefore to consider the import of the Prophet’s words. He says first, that he looked on the earth, and that it was תהו, teu, and בהו, beu. He employs the very words which Moses adopted in his history of the creation; for before any order was introduced, he says that the earth was תהו, teu, and בהו, beu, that is, waste and
Numbers 21:8 — voluntariamente seamos tontos, para que podamos aprender a ser sabios solo de la boca de Dios. Esto luego apareció más claramente en la sustancia de este tipo: porque, cuando Cristo se compara con esta serpiente que Moisés levantó en el desierto, ( Juan 3:14) no era una mera similitud común que Él emplea , pero nos enseña que lo que se había mostrado en esta sombra oscura se completó en sí mismo. Y, seguramente, a menos que la serpiente de bronce hubiera sido un símbolo de la gracia espiritual, no habría
Matthew 6:13 — 13.And lead us not into temptation Some people have split this petition into two. This is wrong: for the nature of the subject makes it manifest, that it is one and the same petition. The connection of the words also shows it: for the word but, which
Deuteronomy 18:3 — receive, that they may obtain what is their own without murmuring or dispute; but He also has regard to the people,lest the priests should basely and greedily take more than their due; which sacred history relates to have been done by the sons of Eli, (1 Samuel 2:23,) for they had advanced to such a degree of licentiousness, that, like robbers, they seized violently on whatever their lust desired. Lest therefore they should give way to this gross covetousness, God prescribes to them certain limits,
John 11:51 — сыны Божии не соединятся под единым Главою Христом. Значит, общение святых есть предуготовление к вечной жизни. И во власти смерти остаются все, кого Христос не собирает к Своему Отцу, что мы снова увидим в семнадцатой главе. Посему и Павел (Esther 1:10) учит: Христос послан, дабы собрать все, что на небе и на земле. Значит, чтобы обладать спасением, которое принес Христос, нам надлежит, устранив разногласия, быть едиными с Богом, с ангелами и с самими собой. Причина же и залог сего единства – смерть
Acts 12:10 — 10.When they were past. God was able to have carried Peter away in the turning of an hand; (758) but he overcometh diverse straits one after another, that the glory of the miracle might be the greater. So he created the world in six days, (Genesis 1:0.)
Romans 1:1 — 1. Paul, etc. (11) - Con respecto a la palabra Paul, como no es un tema de ningún momento que deba detenernos, y como no se puede decir nada que no haya sido mencionado por otros expositores, no debería decir nada, si no fuera apropiado satisfacer
Romans 8:16 — 16.The Spirit himself, etc. He does not simply say, that God’s Spirit is a witness to our spirit, but he adopts a compound verb, which might be rendered “contest,” (contestatur ,) were it not that contestation (contestatio ) has a different
Galatians 1:1 — 1. Pablo, un apóstol. En los saludos con los que comenzó sus Epístolas, Pablo estaba acostumbrado a reclamar el título de "un Apóstol". Su objetivo al hacerlo, como hemos señalado en ocasiones anteriores, fue emplear la autoridad de su estación, con
Galatians 2:8 — the success of his preaching, or to the graces of the Holy Spirit which were then bestowed on believers, is doubtful. I do not understand it as denoting the mere success, but the spiritual power and efficacy, (45) which he has elsewhere mentioned. (1 Corinthians 2:4.) The amount of the whole is, that it was no idle bargain which the apostles had made among themselves, but a decision which God had sealed. (45) “La vertu et efficace spiriluelle.”
Galatians 3:19 — obtener la justificación, surgen varias sugerencias de inmediato, que debe ser inútil u opuesta al pacto de Dios, o algo por el estilo. No, podría ocurrir, ¿por qué no deberíamos decir de la ley, lo que Jeremías dice del Nuevo Testamento, (Jeremias 31:31), que se dio en un período posterior, para suplir la debilidad de la doctrina anterior? Las objeciones de este tipo deben ser respondidas si Pablo desea satisfacer a los gálatas. Primero, luego, pregunta: ¿de qué sirve la ley? Después de haber cumplido
Hebrews 10:1 — 1. Para la Ley que tiene una sombra, etc. Ha tomado prestada esta similitud del arte pictórico; porque una sombra aquí es en un sentido diferente de lo que tiene en Colosenses 2:17; donde él llama a los antiguos ritos o ceremonias sombras, porque no
