Luke 3:3-6 — Luke 3:3-6 . John’s ministry .
John 3:16 — Varios teólogos conservadores, Neander, Tholuck, Westcott, opinan que las palabras de Jesús terminan con Juan 3:15 , y que de Juan 3:16-21 tenemos un añadido del evangelista. Hay mucho que decir a favor de esta idea. Los pensamientos de estos versículos son explicativos más que progresivos. Juan 3:16-17 repite el objeto de la misión de Cristo, que ya se ha
Acts 16:27 — Acts 16:27 . ἔξυπνος : only here in N.T., once in LXX, Esther 3:3; Esther 3:3 , of Darius waking from sleep. μάχαιραν : article omitted in T.R., see critical note. Weiss thinks that the omission occurs since in Acts 12:2 , and five times in Luke, no article is found with μάχαιρα . τὴν = his sword, cf. Mark 14:47
Acts 26:19 — Acts 26:19 . ὅθεν : “wherefore,” R.V., so in Hebrews 2:17 ; Hebrews 3:1 ; Hebrews 7:25 ; Hebrews 8:3 ; Hebrews 9:18 (locally in Luke 11:24 , Acts 14:26 ; Acts 28:13 ); probably best taken here as referring to the whole revelation from Acts 26:12 , marking the natural result of what had gone before; not used in St. Paul’s
1 Corinthians 3:10-17 — 1 Corinthians 3:10-17 . § 10. THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE HUMAN BUILDERS. After the long digression on Wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:17 to 1 Corinthians 3:2 ), occasioned by the Hellenic misconception of the Gospel underlying the Cor [527] divisions, the Ap. returned in 1
1 Corinthians 6:17 — 1 Corinthians 6:17 . ὁ δὲ κολλώμενος τῳ Κυρίῳ κ . τ . λ .: “But he who cleaves to the Lord is one spirit (with Him)”. Adhesion by the act of faith (1 Corinthians 1:21 , etc.) to Christ (as Lord, cf. 1 Corinthians 12:3 , etc.) establishes a spiritual communion of the man with Him as real and close as the other, bodily communion (“tam arcte quam conjuges sunt unum corpus,” Bg [986] ), and as much more influential and enduring as the spirit is above the
1 Corinthians 6:17 — ὁ δὲ κολλώμενος τῳ Κυρίῳ κ. τ. λ.: “Pero el que se une al Señor es un espíritu (con Él)”. Adhesión por el acto de fe ( 1 Corintios 1:21 , etc.) a Cristo (como Señor, cf. 1 Corintios 12:3 , etc. ) ) establece una comunión espiritual del hombre con Él tan real y estrecha como la del otro, comunión corporal (“tam arcte quam conjugas sunt unum corpus”, Bg [986]), y tanto más influyente y duradera cuanto que el espíritu está por encima del
Ephesians 4:31 — Ephesians 4:31 . πᾶσα πικρία : let all bitterness . The noun πικρία occurs thrice again in the NT, and with different shades of meaning (Acts 8:23 ; Romans 3:14 ; Hebrews 12:15 ). Meyer makes it = fretting spitefulness here. But it seems to be more than that (
Ephesians 4:31 — πᾶσα πικρία: dejar toda amargura . El sustantivo πικρία vuelve a aparecer tres veces en el NT, y con diferentes matices de significado ( Hechos 8:23 ; Romanos 3:14 ; Hebreos 12:15 ). Meyer lo hace = inquietante rencor aquí. Pero parece ser más que eso ( cf. χολὴ πικρίας como una descripción de maldad excepcional en Hechos 8:23 ), y significa resentimiento, aspereza, virulencia . En Santiago
Colossians 3:3 — Colossians 3:3 . ἀπεθάνετε γάρ : “for ye died,” that is to their old life, at the time of their conversion. It gives the reason for Colossians 3:2 . The exhortation is justified because they have died with Christ. καὶ ἡ ζωὴ … ἐν τῷ Θεῷ . This risen life
1 Thessalonians 2:13 — “Y por esto también damos gracias, a saber. , que;" el καί, por un laxo pero no inusual ( cf. 1 Tesalonicenses 3:5 ; Romanos 3:7 ; Romanos 5:3 , etc. ) construcción, no va con el pronombre sino con el verbo, o simplemente enfatiza el primero ( p. ej ., Soph., Oed. Col. , 53, 520, etc.). τοῦ θεοῦ aparece tan torpemente que uno está tentado a considerarlo, con Baljon y algunos otros críticos holandeses, como una glosa de escriba.
1 Timothy 3:16 — 1 Timothy 3:16 . The connexion of thought lies in a feeling that the lofty terms in which the Church has been just spoken of may demand a justification. The truth of which the Church is στύλος καὶ ἑδραίωμα is not a light thing nor an insubstantial fabric; the
1 Timothy 4:1 — own, he speaks as if Paul under the prophetic influence had an activity independent of Paul the apostle. ἐν ὑστέροις καιροῖς : The latter times , of course, may be said to come before the last days , ἔσχαται ἡμέραι (Isaiah 2:2 , Acts 2:17 , Jam 5:3 , 2 Peter 3:3 ; καιρὸς ἔσχατος , 1 Peter 1:5 ; ἔσχ . χρόνος , Jude 1:18 ). But a comparison with 2 Timothy 3:1 , a passage very similar in tone to this, favours the opinion that the terms were not so distinguished by the writers of the N.T. In this
1 Timothy 4:1 — la influencia profética, tuviera una actividad independiente de Pablo el apóstol. ἐν ὑστέροις καιροῖς: Se puede decir que las últimas veces , por supuesto, vengan antes de los últimos días , ἔσχαται ἡμέραι ( Isaías 2:2 ; Hechos 2:17 , Santiago 5:3 , 2 Pedro 3:3 ; κιρὸς ἔσχατος, 1 Pedro 1:5 ; ἔσχ. χρόνος, Judas 1:18 ). Pero una comparación con 2 Timoteo 3:1 , un pasaje muy similar en tono a este, favorece la opinión de que los términos no fueron tan distinguidos por los escritores del NT.
2 Timothy 2:24 — 2 Timothy 2:24 . δοῦλον δὲ Κυρίου : here is used in its special application to the ministers of the Church. On the general teaching, see 1 Thessalonians 2:7 , 1 Timothy 3:3 , Titus 3:2 . ἤπιος , as Ell. notes, implies gentleness in demeanour, πραΰτης meekness of disposition. “ Gentle unto all men, so he will be apt to teach; forbearing towards opponents, so he will be able to correct ” (Bengel).
2 Timothy 3:1 — 2 Timothy 3:1 . ἐν ἐσχάταις ἡμέραις ἐνστήσονται : Although St. Paul had abandoned his once confident expectation that the Lord would come again during his own lifetime, it is plain that here, as in 1 Timothy 4:1 , he regards the time now present as part of the
2 Timothy 3:13 — Cristo (siendo su persecución, después de todo, casi un medio condicionado a la consecución de su deseo), y el éxito paradójico de los hombres malvados; avanzan en verdad; pero sólo en degradación; experto en peius (vulg.). Ver notas sobre 2 Timoteo 3:9 y 2 Timoteo 2:16 . encantadores, impostores (RV), seductores , expresa exactamente el término. encanto ocurre en 2Ma 12:24, donde significa engaño . πλανώμενοι: cf. Tito 3:3 . Quienes engañan a los demás perjudican, al hacerlo, su sentido de la
1 Peter 4:7 — 1 Peter 4:7 . But the end of all things and men has drawn nigh; Christians also must be ready, watch and pray , as Jesus taught in the parable of Mark 13:34-37 ( cf. Mark 14:38 ). σωφρονήσατε parallels ἀσελγ . ἐπιθυμίαις (1 Peter 4:3 ) cf. 4Ma 1:31 , temperance is restraint of lust . In Romans 12:3 St. Paul plays on the meaning of the component parts of σω - φρονεῖν , cf. εἰς σωτηρίαν ψυχῶν above.
3 John 1:11 — Una advertencia contra el mal ejemplo. la prensa los participios ἀγαθοποιῶν, κακοποιῶν denotan la continuación y la práctica del bien o del mal. Ver nota en 1 Juan 3:6 . ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ, “un hijo de Dios” ( cf. 1 Juan 3:10 ). Obsérvese la mansedumbre del Apóstol: la antítesis natural de ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ sería ἐκ τοῦ διαβόλου ( 1 Juan 3:8 ), pero dice οὐχ ἑώρακεν τὸν Θεόν.
Jude 1:15 — αὐτοῦ κρίσιν διαφθεῖραι . On the distinction between the active ποιεῖν κρίσιν “to execute judgment” (as in John 5:27 ) and the periphrastic middle = κρίνειν (as in Isocr.48 D) see my notes on αἰτεῖν and αἰτεῖσθαι , ἴδε and ἰδού (James 4:3 ; James 3:3 ). ἐλέγξαι πάντας τοὺς ἀσεβεῖς περὶ πάντων τῶν ἔργων ἀσεβείας αὐτῶν ὧν ἠσέβησαν . Shortened from the Greek Enoch quoted above. ἀσεβεῖς . Cf. Jude 1:4 ; Jude 1:18 . The word thrice repeated in this verse runs through the epistle as a sort
