If we read διότι , critical note, we have a word which is not used by the other Evangelists, but three times in Luke’s Gospel and five times in Acts; in each passage in Acts it is referred to Paul, Acts 13:35 , Acts 18:10 (2), Acts 20:26 , Acts 22:18 , and it occurs nine or ten times in Paul’s Epistles. On account of the Apostle’s approaching departure, such a reckoning is demanded. μαρτύρομαι : only in Luke and Paul, and in both cases in
Acts 8:14 — penetrated throughout the district, or that the people of the town should themselves have spread the Gospel amongst their countrymen ( cf. John 4:28 ). δέδεκται τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θ .: the phrase is characteristic of St. Luke, as it is used by him, Luke 8:13 , Acts 11:1 ; Acts 17:11 , but not by the other Evangelists it is found once in St. Paul, 1 Thessalonians 1:6 ( cf.

El oficio de fundador es propio e incomunicable: “no tenéis muchos padres” ( 1 Corintios 4:15 ). [528]
1 Corinthians 3:12 — 1 Corinthians 3:12 . After the interjected caution to let the foundation alone, P. turns to the superstructure , to which the work of his coadjutors belongs; δὲ indicates this transition. εἰ δέ τις ἐποικοδομεῖ , εἰ with ind [543] (as in 1 Corinthians 3:14 f. etc.),
1 Corinthians 3:18 — 1 Corinthians 3:18 . Accordingly, the Μηδεὶς ἑαυτὸν ἐξαπατάτω looks forward, not backward: one may “deceive himself” about the mixing of man’s wisdom with God’s, but scarcely about the truth of the threatening of 1 Corinthians 3:17 . “If
2 Corinthians 12:1 — otorgadas en la Nueva Dispensación ( Joel 2:28 f. , citado en Hechos 2:17 ), que fueron vistos por San Pedro ( Hechos 10:10 ), y por San Juan ( Apocalipsis 1:10 ; Apocalipsis 4:1 ), así como por San Pedro ( Hechos 1:10 ) Pablo mismo ( Hechos 9:3 , cf. 1 Corintios 9:1 ; Hechos 9:12 ; Hechos 22:17 ) y revelaciones del Señor, sc. , revelaciones concedidas por Cristo ( Apocalipsis 1:1 ).

Wis 7:20 ), factions ( ἐριθεῖα is derived from ἔρῑθος , a hired labourer, and signifies a mercenary cabal), backbitings, whisperings ( i.e. , open and secret defamation

1 Timothy 3:12 — Como los episcopi provenían naturalmente de las filas de los diáconos, el diaconado era un tiempo de prueba, en el curso del cual se podían adquirir las calificaciones morales personales para el ἐπισκοπή. Ver notas sobre 1Ti 3:2; 1 Timoteo 3:4 .
Titus 3:3-7 — Titus 3:3-7 . Cretans who hear this epistle need not feel hurt as though I were thinking of them with exceptional severity. We were such ourselves until we came to know the love of God, unmerited and saving and sanctifying and perfecting.
