Acts 23:21 προσδεχ .: only once elsewhere in Acts, Acts 24:15 , probably in same sense as here, so R.V. text. In the Gospels, the word is found once in Mark 15:43 (= Luke 23:51 ), and five times in Luke, four times translated in R.V. as here; Luke 2:25 ; Luke 2:38 ; Luke 12:36 ; Luke 23:51 , cf. also Titus 2:13 , Jude 1:21 , and Wis 18:7 , 2Ma 8:11 . In classical Greek two meanings as in N.T.: (1) to accept, receive favourably, (2) to wish for or expect a thing. ἐπαγγελίαν : only here in N.T. of a human promise,
Acts 24:23 that he should he kept in charge as a prisoner; not middle as in A.V. ἔχειν τε ἄνεσιν : “and should have indulgence,” R.V., not “liberty,” A.V., word only elsewhere in Paul in N.T., 2Co 2:13 ; 2 Corinthians 7:5 ; 2 Corinthians 8:13 , 2 Thessalonians 1:7 , cf. also Sir 26:10 , 1Es 4:62 . From Acts 24:27 it appears that the prisoner was still bound, but the indulgence involved a custodia liberior , and extended to food, and the visits of friends, and remission from the severer
Acts 26:6 the expression does not indicate any contrast with Acts 26:4 : this hope for which he stands to be judged is in full accord with his whole past life. ἐπʼ ἐλπίδι : phrase only found elsewhere in St. Paul’s Epistles, where it is frequent; Romans 8:20 , 1 Corinthians 9:10 , Titus 1:2 . A hope not merely of the resurrection of the dead, but of the Messiah’s kingdom with which the resurrection was connected, as the context points to the national hope of Israel; cf. Schürer, Jewish People
Acts 28:12
Acts 28:12 . καταχ .: “touching at,” R.V., Ramsay, cf. Acts 27:3 . We are not told that St. Paul landed, but the local tradition makes him the founder of the Sicilian Church, C. and H., p. 663, small edit. Συρ .: ( Siragosa ) about 100 miles distant
Romans 1:13
Romans 1:13 . οὐ θέλω δὲ ὑμᾶς ἀγνοεῖν : a phrase of constant recurrence in Paul, and always with ἀδελφοί ( 1Th 4:13 , 1 Corinthians 10:1 ; 1 Corinthians 12:1 , 2 Corinthians 1:8 ). Some emphasis is laid by it on the idea that his desire or purpose to visit them was no passing whim. It was grounded in his vocation as Apostle of the Gentiles, and though it had been often frustrated he had never given it up. ἐκωλύθην ἄχρι τοῦ
Romans 11:12
Romans 11:12 . Both ἥττημα and πλήρωμα are difficult words, but it is not necessary to suppose that they answer mathematically to one another, though Wetstein explains them by - and +. ἥττημα may mean (as in Isaiah 31:8 ) defeat, or (as in 1 Corinthians 6:7 ) loss; it can hardly mean diminutio eorum , or paucitas Judœorum credentium ; τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῶν must mean the making up of them to their full numbers. There is an exhaustive study of the word πλήρωμα by Prof.
Romans 11:12 Tanto ἥττημα como πλήρωμα son palabras difíciles, pero no es necesario suponer que responden matemáticamente entre sí, aunque Wetstein las explica por - y +. ἥττημα puede significar (como en Isaías 31:8 ) derrota, o (como en 1 Corintios 6:7 ) pérdida; difícilmente puede significar diminutio eorum , o paucitas Judœorum credentium ; τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῶν debe significar la composición de ellos en su totalidad.
Hay un estudio exhaustivo de la palabra πλήρωμα
Romans 14:9 order of the words, the connection elsewhere in Paul of Lordship with the resurrection ( cf. Philippians 2:9 ff.), and the aorist tense which describes an act, and not the continued existence of Christ on earth (Sanday and Headlam): cf. Revelation 2:8 ( ὃς ἐγένετο νεκρὸς κ . ἔζησεν ), Revelation 20:4 f. ἵνα denotes God’s purpose in subjecting His Son to this experience. We must not suppose that ἀπέθανεν is specially connected with νεκρῶν and ἔζησεν with ζώντων ; there is the same mannerism
1 Corinthians 11:8-9
1 Corinthians 11:8-9 add two more to the chain of for’s extending from 1 Corinthians 11:6 : a double reason for asserting that woman is man’s glory appears in the revelation of the origin of mankind made by Scripture (Genesis 2:18-25 : the second narrative
1 Corinthians 15:11
1 Corinthians 15:11 breaks off the comparison between himself and the other App., into which Paul was being drawn, to sum up the statement of fact and evidence concerning Christ’s resurrection: “Whether then it were I (1 Corinthians 15:8 f.) or they (Kephas, the Twelve, the first disciples, James 5 ff.), so we proclaim (1 Corinthians 15:3 f.), and so you believed (1 Corinthians 15:2 )”. For εἴτε , εἴτε , giving alternatives indifferent from the point of view assumed, cf. 1
2 Corinthians 1:24 (only) fellow-workers in (producing) your joy ; a parenthesis within a parenthesis, not necessary to the sense, but added to emphasise once more his sense of the common ties between him and the Corinthians ( cf. Romans 16:3 , chap. 2 Corinthians 8:23 , Colossians 4:11 ). τῇ γὰρ πίστει ἑστήκατε : for by your faith ye stand . If it were dominated by the authority of another, it would not be thus the instrument of their steadfastness. Another (inferior) interpretation is, “As regards your
2 Corinthians 4:13 original is hard to fix; but the context would not naturally suggest the beautiful thought here read into it. That faith must find expression, that it cannot be silent, is the Apostle’s adaptation of the words. With τὸ πνεῦμα τῆς πίστεως cf. Romans 8:15 , 1 Corinthians 4:21 , Galatians 6:1 , Ephesians 1:17 , 2 Timothy 1:7 , etc. Deissmann ( Neue Bibelstudien , p. 78) illustrates the introductory formula of citation here employed by the legal formula κατὰ τὰ προγεγραμμένα which occurs in a Fayyûm
Ephesians 2:9 οὐκ ἐξ ἔργων, ἵνα μή τις καυχήσηται: no por obras, para que nadie se gloríe . El AT protesta contra gloriarse en cualquier cosa que no sea el Señor y el celo del profeta por el honor de Dios ( Jeremias 9:23-24 ; Isaías 42:8 ; Isaías 42:14 , etc.
) arden con una llama aún más intensa en Pablo, sobre todo cuando toca el gran tema de la salvación del hombre. Que la gloria de esa salvación pertenece enteramente a Dios y en ningún grado al hombre, y que ha sido planeada y
Colossians 3:13 sí mismos”, pero mientras que la variación de ἀλλήλ. es probablemente intencional, la diferencia práctica es muy leve. La idea de que los cristianos son miembros los unos de los otros puede ser la base de la elección de la expresión ( cf. 1 Pedro 4:8 ). Puede elegirse para que corresponda a ὑμῖν.
μομφήν puede tener referencia al caso de Filemón y Onésimo. ὁ Κύριος: ya sea que se lea esto o ὁ χριστὸς, la referencia es a Cristo. En el paralelo Efesios 4:32 tenemos “Dios en Cristo”, que es la manera
1 Timothy 3:3 3:2 . Compare 2 Timoteo 2:24 (del siervo del Señor).
Las virtudes episcopales correspondientes en Tito ( 1 Timoteo 1:7 ) son μὴ αὐθάδη, μὴ ὀργίλον.
ἀφιλάργυρον: En Tito la virtud episcopal correspondiente es μὴ αἰσχροκερδῆ. Ver nota en 1 Timoteo 3:8 y Tito 1:7 .
Hebrews 10:28 ley de Moisés muere sin piedad por la declaración de dos o tres testigos”, de acuerdo con la ley establecida en Deuteronomio 17:6 con respecto a la apostasía; aunque la pena capital no se limitaba a este pecado. Para ἀθετεῖν cf.
1 Tesalonicenses 4:8 ; e Isaías 24:16 , οὐαὶ τοῖς ἀθετοῦσιν, οἱ ἀθετοῦντες τὸν νόμον, también Ezequiel 22:26 .
ἀθέτησις se usa absolutamente en 1 Samuel 24:12 . ἐπὶ … μάρτυσιν, cf. Hebreos 9:17 ; ἀποθνήσκαι, tal vez el tiempo no lleve consigo la inferencia de que la
Hebrews 2:13 Las dos citas citadas en el versículo trece son de Isaías 8:17-18 . Allí son continuos, aquí se introducen por separado, cada uno por el habitual καὶ πάλιν, porque sirven para resaltar dos puntos distintos. En el primero, el Mesías expresa su confianza en Dios, y así ilustra su filiación y hermandad con el hombre.
Como
1 Peter 4:7 Pero el fin de todas las cosas y de los hombres se ha acercado; Los cristianos también deben estar preparados, velar y orar , como enseñó Jesús en la parábola de Marco 13:34-37 ( cf. Marco 14:38 ). σωφρονήσατε paralelos ἀσελγ.
ἐπιθυμίαις ( 1 Pedro 4:3 ) cf. 4Ma 1:31, la templanza es la restricción de la lujuria . En Romanos 12:3 San Pablo juega con el significado de las partes componentes de σω - φρονεῖν, cf. εἰς σωτηρίαν ψυχῶν arriba.
νήψατε,
1 Peter 5:4 μέγας de Hebreos 13:20 , que se está formando en la analogía de ἀ ἀἀεε. de lo contrario, aparece solo como la interpretación de Símaco de נקד (LXX, νωκηδ) en 2 Reyes 3:4 y en un papiro.
Cf. apelar a Jehová, ὁ ποιμαίνων τὸν Ἰσραὴλ… ἐμφάνηθι de Salmo 80:1 τὸν… στέφανον = la corona de vida que Él prometió ( Santiago 1:12 ). La metáfora probablemente se deriva de la corona de flores marchitas que se presenta al vencedor en los juegos ( cf.
ἀμαράντινον); pero también puede deberse a la concepción de
Revelation 4:7 novillo” (como LXX). Los cuatro animales se componen libremente de las figuras clásicas de los querubines de Ezequiel y los serafines de Isaías 6 ; estos últimos suministran las seis alas cada uno. Esta función de alabanza incesante ( Apocalipsis 4:8-9 ) está tomada de Enoc lxi.
10 ss., donde los querubines y serafines también están asociados pero no identificados con la hueste angélica (aunque en 40 los querubines son equivalentes a los cuatro arcángeles); para un posible trasfondo astral babilónico,
