Jeremiah 7:23 — 23. (Exodus 15:26; Exodus 19:5).

Zechariah 11:3 — 3. shepherds—the Jewish rulers. their glory—their wealth and magnificence; or that of the temple, "their glory" (Mark 13:1; Luke 21:5). young lions—the princes, so described on account of their cruel rapacity. pride of Jordan—its thickly wooded banks, the lair of "lions" (Jeremiah 12:5; Jeremiah 49:19). Image for Judea "spoiled" of the magnificence of its rulers ("the young lions").

John 11:25 — 25. Jesus said, I am the resurrection and the life—"The whole power to restore, impart, and maintain life, resides in Me." (See on :-; John 5:21). What higher claim to supreme divinity than this grand saying can be conceived? he that believeth in me, though

1 Corinthians 3:3 — glory of God, and the good of our neighbor, but at gratifying self. walk as men—as unregenerate men (compare 1 Corinthians 3:21- :). "After the flesh, not after the Spirit" of God, as becomes you as regenerate by the Spirit (Romans 8:4; Galatians 5:25; Galatians 5:26).

1 Corinthians 4:2 — man's day, but the Lord's judgment in His great day. Another argument against the Corinthians for their partial preferences of certain teachers for their gifts: whereas what God requires in His stewards is faithfulness (1 Samuel 3:20, Margin; Hebrews 3:5); as indeed is required in earthly stewards, but with this difference (Hebrews 3:5- :), that God's stewards await not man's judgment to test them, but the testing which shall be in the day of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 6:1 — 1. workers together—with God (Acts 15:4; 1 Corinthians 3:9). Not only as "ambassadors." beseech—entreat (1 Corinthians 3:9- :). He is describing his ministry, not exhorting directly. you also—rather, "WE ALSO (as well as God, 1 Corinthians 3:9- :) beseech" or "entreat you": 2 Corinthians

Ephesians 1:6 — 6. (Ephesians 1:7; Ephesians 1:17; Ephesians 1:18). The end aimed at (Psalms 50:23), that is, that the glory of His grace may be praised by all His creatures, men and angels. wherein—Some of the oldest manuscripts read, "which." Then translate, "which He graciously bestowed on us." But English Version is supported by good manuscripts

Ephesians 5:18 — 18. excess—worthless, ruinous, reckless prodigality. wherein—not in the wine itself when used aright (1 Timothy 5:23), but in the "excess" as to it. but be filled with the Spirit—The effect in inspiration was that the person was "filled" with an ecstatic exhilaration, like that caused by wine; hence the two are here connected (compare 1 Timothy 5:23- :). Hence

Hebrews 2:18 — succor them that are being tempted" in the same temptation; and as "He was tempted (tried and afflicted) in all points," He is able (by the power of sympathy) to succor us in all possible temptations and trials incidental to man (Hebrews 4:16; Hebrews 5:2). He is the antitypical Solomon, having for every grain of Abraham's seed (which were to be as the sand for number), "largeness of heart even as the sand that is on the seashore" (Hebrews 5:2- :). "Not only as God He knows our trials, but also as

Hebrews 7:16 — 16. carnal . . . endless—mutually contrasted. As "form" and "power" are opposed, 2 Timothy 3:5; so here "the law" and "power," compare 2 Timothy 3:5- :, "The law was weak through the flesh"; and Hebrews 7:18, "weakness." "The law" is here not the law in general, but the statute as to the priesthood. "Carnal," as being only outward and temporary,

1 John 2:12 — little children—Greek, "little sons," or "dear sons and daughters"; not the same Greek as in :-, "little children," "infants" (in age and standing). He calls ALL to whom he writes, "little sons" ( :-, Greek; 1 John 2:28; 1 John 3:18; 1 John 4:4; 1 John 5:21); but only in 1 John 2:13; 1 John 2:18 he uses the term "little children," or "infants." Our Lord, whose Spirit John so deeply drank into, used to His disciples (1 John 2:18- :) the term "little sons," or dear sons and daughters; but in John 21:5, "little

Revelation 22:6 — 6. These sayings are true—thrice repeated (Revelation 19:9; Revelation 21:5). For we are slow to believe that God is as good as He is. The news seems to us, habituated as we are to the misery of this fallen world, too good to be true [NANGLE]. They are no dreams of a visionary, but the realities of God's sure word. holy—so
