Luke 3:24-31
Luke 3:24-31 . From Joseph back to David . Compared with the corresponding section of Mt.’s genealogy these differences are apparent: (1) in both sub-divisions of the section (David to captivity, captivity to Christ) there are considerably more names
John 3:9
John 3:9 . This explanation did not satisfy Nicodemus. He falls back upon his bewilderment, πῶς δύναται ταῦτα γενέσθαι ; This question stirs Jesus to a fuller explanation, which is reported in John 3:10-15 .
Acts 3:17
Acts 3:17 . καὶ νῦν : favourite formula of transition, cf. Acts 7:35 , Acts 10:5 , Acts 20:25 , Acts 22:16 , 1 John 2:28 , 2 John 1:5 . See Wendt and Page, in loco . Bengel describes it as “formula transeuntis a præterito ad præsens”. Blass,
Acts 5:17
Acts 5:17 . ἀναστὰς , see on Acts 1:15 , cf. Acts 6:9 : it may denote a hostile intention (but need not force this), Mark 3:26 , Luke 10:35 , Matthew 12:41 , in LXX, Job 16:8 ; see Overbeck, Blass, Weiss; ὁ ἀρχ ., i.e. , Annas not Caiaphas, Acts 4:6 . πάντες οἱ σὺν αὐτῷ : the context seems to imply that more are included than referred to in Acts 4:6 . ἡ οὖσα αἴρεσις (=
1 Corinthians 1:31
1 Corinthians 1:31 . “In order that, as it stands written, he who glories, in the Lord let him glory;” by “the Lord” the readers could only understand Christ , already five times thus titled; so, manifestly, in 2 Corinthians 10:17 f., where
1 Corinthians 1:31 gloria en Jer [284]) delante de Él; Él hará que los hombres se regocijen en “el Señor de la gloria” ( 1 Corintios 2:8 ; cf. Filipenses 2:9 ss.), a quien envió como Su propia “sabiduría” y “poder para salvación” ( 1 Corintios 1:24 ). ; 1 Corintios 1:30 ).
Lo que aflige al Ap. más y aparece más fatal en las luchas partidarias de Cor [285], es la exaltación de los nombres humanos al lado de Cristo y a sus expensas (ver notas en 12 15; también 1 Corintios 3:5 ; 1 Corintios 3:21-23 , y 2 Corintios
2 Corinthians 1:12-14
2 Corinthians 1:12-14 . THEY MUST ACKNOWLEDGE HIS SINCERITY OF PURPOSE. He claims that he has always been frank and open in his dealings with the Corinthian Christians: cf. 1 Thessalonians 2:3 . ἡ γὰρ καύχησις κ . τ . λ .: for our glorying is this . Note καύχησις , not καύχημα , as at 2 Corinthians 1:14 , which is rather the thing boasted of than the act of boasting. καυχάομαι and its cognates are peculiarly frequent in this Epistle (see
2 Corinthians 1:12-14 DEBEN RECONOCER SU SINCERIDAD DE PROPÓSITO. Afirma que siempre ha sido franco y abierto en su trato con los cristianos de Corinto: cf. 1 Tesalonicenses 2:3 . ἡ γὰρ καύχησις κ. τ. λ.: porque nuestra gloria es esta . Tenga en cuenta καύχησις, no καύχημα, como en 2 Corintios 1:14 , que es más bien algo de lo que se jacta que el acto de jactarse.
καυχάομαι y sus cognados son particularmente frecuentes en
2 Corinthians 12:20 como yo quisiera, y yo mismo sea hallado por vosotros tal como vosotros no querríais, es decir , indignado ante la severidad de su rebelión ( cf. 2 Corintios 10:2 ), para que de ninguna manera haya contienda ( cf.
1 Corintios 1:11 ; 1 Corintios 3:3 ), celos, furor (esta parece ser la fuerza del plural. θυμοί; cf. Sab 7:20), facciones (ἐριθεῖα se deriva de ἔρῑθος, un jornalero, y significa una camarilla mercenaria), murmuraciones, susurros ( i.
mi. , difamación abierta y secreta del carácter),
1 Thessalonians 4:3
1 Thessalonians 4:3 . ἁγιασμός (in apposition to τοῦτο , θέλημα without the article being the predicate) = the moral issue of a life related to the Ἅγιος ( cf. 1 Thessalonians 4:8 ), viewed here in its special and negative aspect of freedom from sexual impurity. The gospel
2 Thessalonians 3:5 κατευθύναι, κ. τ. λ. Pablo ya no abriga (I., 1 Tesalonicenses 3:11 ) la esperanza de volver a visitarlos pronto. “El amor de Dios y la paciencia de Cristo” ( es decir , la ὑπομονή que Cristo inspira y exige, cf. Ignat. ad. Rom. , últimas palabras) corresponden a la doble experiencia de amor y esperanza en 2 Tesalonicenses
1 Timothy 1:10 πόρνοις and ἀρσενοκοίταις include all improper use of sexual relations.
διδασκαλία means the body of doctrine , the apostolic Summa Theologiæ . The noun is used absolutely, 1 Timothy 6:1 , or with varying epithets: ὑγιαίνουσα , sana (here, 2 Timothy 4:3 ; Titus 1:9 ; Titus 2:1 ); καλή , bona (1 Timothy 4:6 ); κατʼ εὐσέβειαν , secundum pietatem (1 Timothy 6:3 ); μου (2 Timothy 3:10 ); τοῦ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν θεοῦ (Titus 2:10 ).
It means the act of teaching in Romans 12:7 ; Rom 15:4 , 1 Timothy 4:13 ; 1
1 Timothy 1:10 ἀρσενοκοίταις incluyen todo uso indebido de las relaciones sexuales.
διδασκαλία significa el cuerpo de doctrina , la Summa Theologiæ apostólica . El sustantivo se usa absolutamente, 1 Timoteo 6:1 , o con epítetos variados: ὑγιαίνουσα, sana (aquí, 2 Timoteo 4:3 ; Tito 1:9 ; Tito 2:1 ); καλή, bona ( 1 Timoteo 4:6 ); κατʼ εὐσέβειαν, secundum pietatem ( 1 Timoteo 6:3 ); μυ ( 2 Timoteo 3:10 ); τοῦ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν θεοῦ ( Tito 2:10 ).
Significa el acto de enseñar en Romanos 12:7 ; Romanos 15:4 , 1 Timoteo
1 Timothy 3:11 γυναῖκας : Sc. δεῖ εἶναι, no gobernado por ἔχοντας ( 1 Timoteo 3:9 ). Estas son las diaconisas, ministrae (Plinio, Ep . x. 97) de las cuales Febe ( Romanos 16:1 ) es un ejemplo indudable. Realizaban para las mujeres de la Iglesia primitiva el mismo tipo de ministerios que los diáconos hacían para los hombres.
En
2 Timothy 2:13
2 Timothy 2:13 . εἰ ἀπιοτοῦμεν : It is reasonable to hold that the sense of ἀπιστέω in this place must be determined by the antithesis of πιστὸς μένει . Now πιστός , as applied to God, must mean faithful (Deuteronomy 7:9 ); one who “keepeth truth for ever”
James 1:4 result in something being lacking; the words recall what is said in the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs , Joshua 2:7 . “For endurance ( μακροθυμία ) is a mighty charm, and patience ( ὑπομονή ) giveth many good things”. Cf. Romans 5:3 . ἵνα ἦτε τέλειοι : Cf. Matthew 5:48 ; Matthew 19:21 ; see Lightfoot’s note on the meaning of this word in Philippians 3:15 , “the τέλειοι are in fact the same with πνευματικοί ” ( Ep. to the Philippians , p. 153). That in the passage
1 Peter 1:3 εὐλογητός. Se reconoce el adjetivo verbal, tal vez acuñado por la LXX como propio de la Bendición del Nombre. Este uso se refleja en el NT, Romanos 1:25 ; Romanos 9:5 ; 2 Corintios 1:3 ; 2 Corintios 11:31 ; Efesios 1:3 ; nota Marco 14:61 .
ὁ θεὸς… ἡμῶν, parte de la fórmula ( cf. 2 Corintios 1:3 ; Efesios 1:3 ) basada en el dicho “Subo a vuestro padre y a mi padre, a vuestro Dios y a mi Dios” ( Juan 20:17 ) .
κατὰ τὸ πολὺ ἔλεος,
Revelation 19:11-16
Revelation 19:11-16 . messiah and his troops or retinue: Jesus to the rescue ( cf. Samson Agonistes , 1268 f.). The following description of a semi-judicial, semi-military hero is painted from passages like Isaiah 11:3-5 (where messiah, instead of judging by appearances, decides equitably: πατάξει γῆν τῷ λόγῳ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ : his breath slays the wicked: his loins are girt δικαιοσύνῃ and ἀληθείᾳ ), the theophany of Habakkuk 3:0 , and the sanguinary picture of
Revelation 19:11-16 el mesías y su tropa o séquito: Jesús al rescate ( cf. Samson Agonistes , 1268 s.). La siguiente descripción de un héroe semi-judicial, semi-militar está tomada de pasajes como Isaías 11:3-5 (donde el mesías, en vez de juzgar por las apariencias, decide equitativamente: πατάξει γῆν τῷ λόγῳ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ : su aliento mata : sus lomos están ceñidos δικαιοσύνῃ y ἀληθείᾳ), la teofanía de Habacuc 3 , y la imagen sanguinaria de Yahveh
Revelation 3:3
Revelation 3:3 . Memory again the lever for repentance (as at Revelation 2:5 ); εἴληφας aoristic pf. ( cf. Revelation 5:7 , Burton 88) rather than pf. of existing result (Weiss, Bs.); πῶς = our colloquial “how” (practically equivalent to “that”).
