Bible Commentaries

Psalms 141:1 — 1. ¡Oh Jehová! Te he llorado. De tal exordio y forma de orar, es evidente que David estaba trabajando bajo no poco juicio, ya que repite sus pedidos e insiste en recibir ayuda. Sin aventurarnos a decir algo definitivo sobre el tema, no desaprobaríamos

Psalms 141:7 — completo en la zanja; David nos dice que él y los que estaban con él fueron tratados de manera más bárbara, sus huesos se dispersaron, mientras uno corta madera o piedras en fragmentos, o cava la tierra. De esto parece que David, como Paul, ( 2 Corintios 1:9) fue liberado de la muerte a menudo; (241) y podemos aprender el deber de continuar atesorando la esperanza de vida y liberación, incluso cuando la expresión puede aplicarse a nosotros, que nuestros huesos se han roto y dispersado.

Psalms 22:24 — other’s welfare, is a branch of that communion which ought to exist among the people of God, as Paul also teaches, “That for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons, thanks may be given by many on our behalf.” (2 Corinthians 1:11,) But this statement of David serves another important purpose — it serves to encourage every man to hope that God will exercise the same mercy towards himself. By the way, we are taught from these words that the people of God ought to endure

Leviticus 6:7 — 1.Likewise this is the law. I have just confessed that I do not sufficiently understand how these two words, חטאה, chateah, and אשם , asham, differ from each other; and I have therefore followed the sense

Matthew 14:33 — declared that he was their Master, instantly acknowledge that he is the Son of God, and by this term render to him the honor of the Messiah. Though at that time this lofty mystery was not generally known, how God was to be manifested in the flesh, (1 Timothy 3:16,) yet as they had learned from the prophets, that he who was to be the Redeemer would be called the Son of God, those who under this designation proclaim the glory of Christ, declare their belief that he is the Christ. (385) (385) “Declarent

Deuteronomy 5:1 — 1.And Moses called all Israel. Since the plan and order of exposition which I have adopted required that this same preface, as it is repeated word. for word in Deuteronomy, should here also be read together, I have thought fit also to insert the five

John 1:30 — является Мессией. Далее, здесь говорится о трех вещах. Сказав, что за ним идет Муж, Иоанн имеет в виду, что по времени Он – первый, и его цель – приготовить путь для Христа согласно пророчеству Малахии: Вот я посылаю ангела Моего пред лицом Моим (Malachi 3:1). Говоря же, что Христос поставлен впереди него, Иоанн имеет в виду славу, коей Бог украсил Собственного Сына, послав Его в мир для совершения искупления. И добавляется причина, почему Христос по достоинству несравненно выше Иоанна. Это не привходящая

Romans 11:15 — 15.For if their rejections, etc. This passage, which many deem obscure, and some awfully pervert, ought, in my view, to be understood as another argument, derived from a comparison of the less with the greater, according to this import, “Since the

Romans 15:29 — abounding in all the spiritual riches of the gospel. (463) (463) This explanation is that of [Chrysostom ] ; but how to make the words to give such a meaning is a matter of some difficulty. The obvious import of the passage corresponds with Romans 1:11. All the authors quoted by [Poole ], except [Estius ], take the other view, such as [Grotius ], [Beza ], [Mede ], etc. The last gives the following as the sentiments of [Origen ] and [Anselm ] — “My preaching and conversation shall impart

Romans 6:3 — death and the dying of the old man. It is hence evident, that when we become partakers of the grace of Christ, immediately the efficacy of his death appears. But the benefit of this fellowship as to the death of Christ is described in what follows. (184) (184) “Baptized into (εἰς) Christ,” “baptized into (εἰς) Moses,” 1 Corinthians 10:2, “baptized into (εἰς) one body,” 1 Corinthians 12:13, are all

Romans 7:16 — чистое сердце. Согласие здесь не надобно разуметь таким же, какое бывает у нечестивых, которые говорят: Вижу лучшее и одобряю, но следую злому (Овид. Метамор.7, 20). А также: Да буду следовать вредному и избегать того, что приносит пользу (Горац. Епист.1, 8; 5, 11.). Ибо они вынужденно подписываются под праведностью Божией, которой иначе были бы полностью чужды по собственной воле. Благочестивые же соглашается с нею с искренней готовностью и желанием, поелику больше всего хотят воспарить к небесам.

1 Corinthians 1:18 — прикрасы мнительных учителей. При этом они гнушались апостолом, наделенным силою Божией ради их спасения, только потому, что он усердно проповедовал им Христа. О том же, каким образом слово о кресте есть сила Божия ко спасению, мы говорили в Romans 1:16.

1 Corinthians 12:24 — 24.But God hath tempered the body together He again repeats, what he had stated once before, (1 Corinthians 12:18,) but more explicitly, — that God has appointed this symmetry, and that with a view to the advantage of the whole body, because it cannot otherwise maintain its standing. “For whence comes it, that all the members are of

1 Corinthians 3:16 — 16.Know ye not, etc. Having admonished the teachers as to their duty, he now addresses himself to the pupils — that they, too, may take heed to themselves. To the teachers he had said, “You are the master-builders of the house of God.”

1 Corinthians 6:19 — 19.Know ye not that your body He makes use of two additional arguments, in order to deter us from this filthiness. First, That our bodies are temples of the Spirit; and, secondly, that the Lord has bought us to himself as his property. There is an emphasis

Ephesians 3:7 — me he merecido; porque en el libre ejercicio de la bondad, el Señor me hizo apóstol de los gentiles, no por mi excelencia, sino por su propia gracia. No preguntes lo que era antes; porque es prerrogativa del Señor "exaltarlos de bajo grado". ( Lucas 1:52.) Para producir algo grandioso de la nada, muestra el funcionamiento efectivo de su poder.

Philippians 2:18 — 18 Alégrate. Por la rapidez que descubre así, alienta a los filipenses y enciende en ellos el deseo de enfrentar la muerte con firmeza, (142) en la medida en que los creyentes no sufren ningún daño de eso. Porque anteriormente les había enseñado que

Joshua 22:16 — 16.Thus says the whole congregation, etc Just as if it had been known that this second altar was opposed to the one only altar of God, they begin with upbraiding them, and that in a very harsh and severe manner. They thus assume it as confessed, that

Colossians 2:4 — writing to the Hebrews, inasmuch as, when wishing to exhort believers not to allow themselves to be led astray (349) by strange or new doctrines, he first of all makes use of this foundation — Christ yesterday, and to-day, and for ever. (Hebrews 13:8.) By this he means, that those are out of danger who remain in Christ, but that those who are not satisfied with Christ are exposed to all fallacies and deceptions. So Paul here would have every one, that would not be deceived, be fortified by means

Colossians 4:1 — 1. Maestros, lo que es justo. Menciona primero, lo que es justo, por qué término expresa esa amabilidad, en cuanto a que ha dado una orden en la Epístola a los Efesios. ( Efesios 6:8.) Pero como maestros, mirando hacia abajo desde arriba, desprecian
