Psalms 140:1-13 — Salmo 140 El estilo de este Salmo se asemeja al de los de David de la primera parte del libro, presentando como presenta la acostumbrada queja, la oración, y la esperanza del alivio. 1. hombre malo—cuál de los enemigos de David se especifique no es de importancia.

Proverbs 30:1-33 — cualquier instrucción divina; no necesariamente una predicción, que es sólo una clase de profecía ( 1 Crónicas 15:27, una canción). Los profetas eran hombres inspirados que hablaban por Dios al hombre, o por el hombre a Dios ( Génesis 20:7; Éxodo 7:14, Éxodo 7:16). Tales, también, eran los profetas del Nuevo Testamento. En sentido general, Gad, Natán y otros lo eran, aunque nunca predijeron, que sepamos. que dijo el varón—lit., el dicho del hombre; expresión para indicar cualquier anuncio solemne

Ecclesiastes 4 overview — CHAPTER 4 :-.

Song of Solomon 4 overview — CHAPTER 4 :-.

Song of Solomon 8:1-14 — comunión espiritual interna con él. El último en “besar” a Jesucristo en tierra fué Judas el traidor. El retorno de la novia a la casa de su madre con el Rey corresponde a Hechos 8:25, después de la misión enviada a Samaria. Lo demás mencionado (v. 4) corresponde a Hechos 9:31. que mamó … madre—hermano nacido de la misma madre; el vínculo más íntimo. 2. Ella desea introducirlo en su íntimo círculo familiar ( Juan 1:41); me enseñarías—a saber, cómo te agradaría mejor ( Isaías 11:2; Isaías 50:4;

Jeremiah 18:14 — 14. Is there any man (living near it) who would leave the snow of Lebanon (that is, the cool melted snow water of Lebanon, as he presently explains), which cometh from the rock of the field (a poetical name for Lebanon, which towers aloft above the surrounding

Jeremiah 44:4 — 4. ( :-).

Lamentations 3:4 — 4-6. ( :-).

Micah 5:3 — 3. "Therefore (because of His settled plan) will God give up to their foes His people Israel, until," c. she which travaileth hath brought forth—namely, "the virgin" mother, mentioned by Micah's contemporary, Isaiah 7:14. Zion "in travail" (Micah 4:9 Micah 4:10) answers to the virgin in travail of Messiah. Israel's deliverance from her long travail-pains of sorrow will synchronize with the appearance oœ Messiah as her Redeemer (Romans 11:26) in the last days, as the

Colossians 3:1-25 — pues—La conexión con cap. 2:18, 23, es que él había condenado “la mente carnal” y “el saciar de la carne”; en contraste con esto, ahora dice, “Si fuísteis una vez para siempre levantados con Cristo” (es decir, en vuestra conversión y bautismo, Romanos 6:4). buscad las cosas de arriba—( Mateo 6:33; Filipenses 3:20). sentado—Griego: “Donde está Cristo, sentado a la diestra de Dios” ( Efesios 1:20), Estando resucitada la Cabeza, los miembros también están resucitados con él. Donde está la Cabeza, allí

1 Timothy 2:3 — for all men. in the sight of God—not merely before men, as if it were their favor that we sought (2 Corinthians 8:21). our Saviour—a title appropriate to the matter in hand. He who is "our Saviour" is willing that all should be saved (1 Timothy 2:4; Romans 5:18); therefore we should meet the will of God in behalf of others, by praying for the salvation of all men. More would be converted if we would pray more. He has actually saved us who believe, being "our Saviour." He is willing that all should

2 Timothy 1:2 — 2. my dearly beloved son—In 1 Timothy 1:2; Titus 1:4, written at an earlier period than this Epistle, the expression used is in the Greek, "my genuine son." ALFORD sees in the change of expression an intimation of an altered tone as to Timothy, more of mere love, and less of confidence, as though Paul saw

2 Timothy 2:18 — 18. erred—Greek, "missed the aim" (see :-). is past already—has already taken place. The beginnings of the subsequent Gnostic heresy already existed. They "wrested" ( :-) Paul's own words (Romans 6:4; Ephesians 2:6; Colossians 2:12) "to their own destruction," as though the resurrection was merely the spiritual raising of souls from the death of sin. Compare 1 Corinthians 15:12, where he shows all our hopes of future glory rest on the literal reality

Hebrews 1:12 — the Septuagint, Psalms 102:26; but the Hebrew, "change them." The Spirit, by Paul, treats the Hebrew of the Old Testament, with independence of handling, presenting the divine truth in various aspects; sometimes as here sanctioning the Septuagint (compare Isaiah 34:4; Revelation 6:14); sometimes the Hebrew; sometimes varying from both. changed—as one lays aside a garment to put on another. thou art the same— (Isaiah 46:4; Malachi 3:6). The same in nature, therefore in covenant faithfulness to Thy people. shall

Hebrews 11:19 — 19. Faith answered the objections which reason brought against God's command to Abraham to offer Isaac, by suggesting that what God had promised He both could and would perform, however impossible the performance might seem (Romans 4:20; Romans 4:21). able to raise him —rather, in general, "able to raise from the dead." Compare Romans 4:17, "God who quickeneth the dead." The quickening of Sarah's dead womb suggested the thought of God's power to raise even the dead, though no instance

2 Peter 2:11 — is the dignity of the saints who, as Christ's assessors, shall hereafter judge angels! Meanwhile, railing judgments, though spoken with truth, against dignities, as being uttered irreverently, are of the nature of "blasphemies" (Greek, 1 Corinthians 4:4; 1 Corinthians 4:5). If superior angels dare not, as being in the presence of God, the Judge, speak evil even of the bad angels, how awful the presumption of those who speak evil blasphemously of good "dignities." 2 Samuel 16:7; 2 Samuel 16:8, Shimei;

1 John 5:19 — 19. world lieth in wickedness—rather, "lieth in the wicked one," as the Greek is translated in 1 John 5:18; 1 John 2:13; 1 John 2:14; compare 1 John 4:4; John 17:14; John 17:15. The world lieth in the power of, and abiding in, the wicked one, as the resting-place and lord of his slaves; compare "abideth in death," John 17:15- :; contrast 1 John 5:20, "we are in Him that is true."

1 John 5:4 — 4. For—(See on :-). The reason why "His commandments are not grievous." Though there is a conflict in keeping them, the sue for the whole body of the regenerate is victory over every opposing influence; meanwhile there is a present joy to each believer

1 John 5:5 — 5. Who—"Who" else "but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God:" "the Christ" (1 John 5:1)? Confirming, by a triumphant question defying all contradiction, as an undeniable fact, 1 John 5:4, that the victory which overcomes the world is faith. For it is by believing: that we are made one with Jesus the Son of God, so that we partake of His victory over the world, and have dwelling in us One greater than he who is in the world (1 John 5:4-

Revelation 7:9 — nation" by origin, but afterwards separated itself into tribes, peoples, and tongues; hence, the one singular stands first, followed by the three plurals. kindreds—Greek, "tribes." people—Greek, "peoples." The "first-fruits unto the Lamb," the 144,000 (Revelation 14:1-4) of Israel, are followed by a copious harvest of all nations, an election out of the Gentiles, as the 144,000 are an election out of Israel (see on Revelation 7:3). white robes—(See on Revelation 7:3- :; also Revelation 3:5;
