Genesis 11:9 — 9. Por eso se llamó Babel. ¡Ved lo que obtuvieron por su ambición insensata de adquirir un nombre! Esperaban que un memorial eterno de su origen fuera grabado en la torre; Dios no solo frustra su vana expectativa, sino que los marca con una vergüenza

Genesis 13:9 — 9. ¿No está toda la tierra delante de ti? Aquí está esa moderación de la que he hablado; a saber, que Abram por apaciguar los conflictos sacrifica voluntariamente su propio derecho. Pues como ambición y el deseo de victoria (354) es la madre de todas

Psalms 103:9 — 9 No siempre regañará a David, de los atributos atribuidos a Dios en el versículo anterior, llega a la conclusión de que cuando Dios ha sido ofendido, no será irreconciliable, ya que, por su naturaleza, siempre está dispuesto a perdonar. Era necesario

Psalms 28:9 — concern, and that he neither lived nor reigned for himself, but for the common good of the people. He well knew that he was appointed king for no other end. In this he declares himself to be a type of the Son of God, of whom, when Zechariah (Zechariah 9:9) predicts that he would come “having salvation,” there is no doubt that he promises nothing to him apart from his members, but that the effects of this salvation would diffuse themselves throughout his whole body. By this example, accordingly,

Psalms 57:9 — 9.I will praise thee, O Lord! among the peoples. As the nations and peoples are here said to be auditors of the praise which he offered, we must infer that David, in the sufferings spoken of throughout the psalm, represented Christ. This it is important

Psalms 97:9 — 9 Porque tú, Jehová, estás muy por encima de toda la tierra Habiendo explicado estas palabras en otro lugar, no diré más sobre ellas en este momento. Solo debe notarse, que hay una comparación entre Dios y los ángeles, y lo que sea que tenga alguna pretensión

Leviticus 16:2 — Epistle to the Hebrews, where it is said that by the annual entrance of the high priest the Holy Ghost signified, "that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing,” (Hebrews 9:8;) and a little further on he adds, that after Christ the true Priest had come, "he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.” (Hebrews 9:11.) Thus the year, in the ancient type, was a symbol of the

Leviticus 16:2 — a los Hebreos, donde se dice que por la entrada anual del sumo sacerdote el Espíritu Santo significaba: "que el camino hacia el lugar más sagrado de todos aún no se había manifestado, mientras que el primer tabernáculo aún estaba en pie" ( Hebreos 9:8;) y un poco más adelante agrega que después de que Cristo el verdadero Sacerdote había venido, "Entró una vez en el lugar santo, habiendo obtenido la redención eterna para nosotros". ( Hebreos 9:11.) Así, el año, en el tipo antiguo, era un símbolo

Amos 5:8 — being far different from what hypocrites imagine him to be in their own fancies. “What are your notions of him?” he says. “You indeed make God to be like a child; but he made the Pleiades and Orion.” Some translate כימה, kime, Arcturus. There is no need of laboring much about such names; for the Jews, ignorant of the liberal sciences, cannot at this day certainly determine what stars are meant; and they show also their complete ignorance as to herbs.

Deuteronomy 32:9 — 9 Porque la porción del Señor es su pueblo. Este es el punto principal, que Dios fue movido por nada más que por su propio placer de hacer tanto de este pueblo, que se había derivado de un origen común con todos los demás: porque cuando dice que Jacob

Luke 2:11 — for it would have given no great delight to hear that the Author of salvation was born, unless each person believed that for himself he was born. In the same manner Isaiah says, “Unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given,” (Isaiah 9:6;) and Zechariah, “Behold, thy King cometh unto thee lowly,” (Zechariah 9:9.) (150) He refers to his use of the Latin word Salvator , for which there is no classical authority. The apology may be deemed unnecessary; but Calvin was entitled

Luke 9:61 — Lucas 9:61 . Y otro dijo. Mateo no menciona a esta tercera persona. Parece que estaba demasiado apegado al mundo para estar listo y preparado para seguir a Cristo. Es cierto que se ofrece a unirse a la familia de Cristo, pero con esta reserva, después de despedirse

John 14:9 — 9.Have I been so long time with you? Christ justly reproves Philip for not having the eyes of his faith pure. He had God present in Christ, and yet he did not behold him. What prevented him but his own ingratitude? Thus, in the present day, they who,

Acts 12:9 — 9.He knew not that it was true. He did not think that it was a vain or false visor, as Satan doth oftentimes delude men with jugglings; buttrue is taken in this place for that which is done naturally and after the manner of men. For we must note the contrariety

Romans 9:10 — prefer to regard a masculine pronoun to be understood, rather than a neuter, as [Erasmus ] has done: for the meaning is, that God’s special election had not been revealed only to Abraham, but also to Rebecca, when she brought forth her twins. (292) (292) Here is a striking instance of a difficulty as to the construction, while the meaning of the whole passage is quite evident. The ellipsis has been variously supplied; “and not only this,” i.e., what I have stated; “and not

Philippians 4:3 — будучи женат, воздерживался от употребления жены. Но его слова звучат иначе. Он хочет, чтобы неженатые оставались в том же состоянии, что и он. А какое это состояние, если не безбрачие? Дабы доказать существование жены, приводят также 1 Corinthians 9:1,1 Corinthians 9:5: Разве не позволено мне иметь жену? Но этот довод весьма неуместен и не нуждается в опровержении. Хорошо, допустим, что Павел был женат. Почему же тогда его жена находилась в Филиппах? Написано, что этот город он посещал не чаще

Joshua 23:9 — 9.For the Lord has driven out from before you, etc He intimates that so long as they do not themselves change, there will certainly be no change on the part of God. Therefore he asserts that, provided they conciliate the favor of God, they shall have

Colossians 4:6 — not to all indiscriminately, but to every one. For this is not the least important part of prudence — to have due regard to individuals. (475) (472) Sales. The term is frequently employed by classical writers to denote witticisms. See Cic. Fam. 9:15; Juv. 9:11; Hor. Ep. 2:2, 60. — Ed. (473) “Et que par ce moyen il seroit a craindre que les fideles ne s’y addonassent;” — “And as on this account it was to be feared that believers would addict themselves to

Philemon 1:14 — Не (не как бы) вынужденно. Сказанное заимствованно из общего правила: Богу угодны только добровольные жертвы. То же самое Павел говорит и о милостыне, 2 Corinthians 9:7; τό αγαθόν же понимается здесь как благотворительность. Необходимость апостол противопоставляет воле, коль скоро при наличии необходимости нельзя проявить на деле великодушие и пылкость. Ведь то, что на служение заступают свободно, а не по принуждению

1 Peter 2:10 — were become entangled in the corruptions of the heathens; it could not then be said otherwise of them, but that they were repudiated by the Lord. But when they are gathered in Christ, from no people they really become the people of God. Paul, in Romans 9:26, applies also this prophecy to the Gentiles, and not without reason; for from the time the Lord’s covenant was broken, from which alone the Jews derived their superiority, they were put on a level with the Gentiles. It hence follows, that what
