Genesis 12:18 Entonces Faraón llamó a Abram y le dijo: ¿Qué es esto que me has hecho? ¿Por qué no me dijiste que ella [era] tu esposa?
Ver. 18. ¿Qué es esto que me has hecho? ] Dios había reprendido a Faraón, de acuerdo con eso; "No permitió que nadie les hiciera mal, sino que reprendió a los reyes por causa de ellos"; Sal 105: 14 y ahora Faraón reprende a Abram. Es triste que los santos
Genesis 17:7 exterior de ella, era temporal y se podía convertir en bautismo; pero el pacto de gracia, entonces, y por el bautismo ahora, sellado a nosotros, es eterno; siendo establecido y ratificado. por la muerte del Testador, "por la sangre del Archipastor". Heb 13:20 Aquí hay que considerar una que hay un doble pacto: 1.
Soltero; como Dios hace con los niños, cuando se bautiza; es decir, si te arrepientes, crees y caminas conmigo, serás salvo. Ahora, si rompen la condición, Dios es liberado, él no lo ata más.
Genesis 2:11 El nombre del primero es Pison: éste es el que rodea toda la tierra de Havila, donde hay oro;
Ver. 11. Donde hay oro. ] Que, aunque nunca tan admirado y adquirido con esmero, no es más que las entrañas y la basura de la tierra. El oro es lo que cede el elemento más bajo, los indios más salvajes obtienen, los aprendices serviles trabajan, los camellos
Genesis 26:7 tuvo miedo de decir: Es mi mujer; No sea que, [dijo], los hombres del lugar me maten por Rebeca; porque ella [era] hermosa a la vista.
Ver. 7. Ella es mi hermana. ] ¡Cuán aptos son los hijos para imitar las enfermedades de su padre! Pατροπαραδοτου. 1Pe 1:18 Lo que todavía no es excusa, Eze 18:14 sino una agravación. Dan 5: 22-23 Por lo tanto, el orador a fue muy amplio, diciendo: Me ex ea opinione, quam a Maioribus accepti, de cultu deorum inmortalium, nullius unquam oratio aut docti aut indocti
Genesis 29:1 Entonces Jacob siguió su camino y llegó a la tierra de los orientales.
Ver. 1. Entonces Jacob se fue de viaje. ] Heb., Levantó los pies: indefessi cursoris instar ; como si fuera un caballo generoso y varonil, refrescado con su espera por el camino, emprendió con ligereza su largo viaje. "El gozo del Señor era" la "fuerza" de
Genesis 31:27 un padre amoroso, sí, y un hombre honesto? Pero,a dice de otro, así podemos nosotros de él; Palam compositus pudor, intus summa adipiscendi libido . Todo esto no era más que una hipocresía palidecida y una codicia coloreada, como la llama San Pablo. 1 Tesalonicenses 2: 5
" Astutam vapido servat sub pectore vulpem ". - Pers.

Genesis 35:21 repugnante, en una familia tan buena: pero así a veces cae, por la malicia de Satanás, por el descrédito de la religión. Tal incesto fea se cometió en Corinto, como era apenas un "oído de entre los paganos, que un hombre tiene la mujer de su padre." 1Co 5: 1 Había algunos de estos entre los reyes de Egipto; pero no muchos. Ethelbald, rey de los sajones occidentales, con gran infamia al casarse con la viuda de su padre, Judith, disfrutó de su reino sólo dos años y medio.
b ¡ Pero cuán odioso es ese
Genesis 4:10 Y él dijo: ¿Qué has hecho? la voz de la sangre de tu hermano clama a mí desde la tierra.
Ver. 10. ¿Qué has hecho? ] Aquí Dios apela a la conciencia del asesino, que es en lugar de mil testigos. Siempre que sintamos las heridas secretas de nuestro corazón por el pecado, pensamos que oímos al que es más grande que nuestro corazón, diciéndonos como
Genesis 9:26 por lo tanto, como fue nombrado primero, Génesis 9:23 antes que su hermano mayor Jafet; así que aquí tiene la primera y principal bendición. Es bueno ser el primero en un buen asunto, sí, pronto y "presente a toda buena obra", como dice Pablo. Tit 3: 1
Y Canaán será su siervo. ] Esta maldición no se cumplió durante muchos cientos de años después, hasta que los pecados de los amorreos se llenaron de plenitud, y entonces se cumplió. La paciencia de Dios no es absolución. También puede convertir una
Zephaniah 3:12 durius in se, Quam quod ridicules homines facit, Men will be sure to go over the hedge where it is lowest. Hence St Paul joins them together, I have learned to want and to be abased. They that want must look to be abased. This thy son, saith he, Luke 15:30 , not this my brother; he would not once own him, because in poverty. But though men will not, yet God will, James 2:5 Revelation 2:9 . I know thy poverty, but that is nothing, thou art rich: poor in spirit, rich to Godward, glorying in nothing
Zechariah 10:10 gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and [place] shall not be found for them.
I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt — Whither they fled for fear of the Babylonians, Jeremiah 44:12 , and where it seems they became a mighty people, if that be true which Josephus writeth, viz. that Ptolemy Philadelphus sent back a hundred and twenty thousand of them into Judea, and by that royal beneficence obtained the seventy seniors to be sent
Zechariah 8:12 [things].
For the seed shall be prosperous — Or, full and perfect, as the Chaldee hath it; it shall be fruitful and yield a plentiful crop, such as shall every way answer the desire of the husbandman. Instead of your recent scarcity (whereof see Haggai 1:9 , with the notes) you shall abound with plenty of all things, feeding of the fat, and drinking of the sweet, and having your heart filled with food and gladness, Acts 14:17 . More particularly:
The vine shall give her fruit — So that ye shall
Zechariah 9:14 when they feared the multitudes of their enemies. May not God say so much more to his? Hath ever any waxed fierce against him and prospered? If he but arise only, his enemies shall be scattered, and those that hate him shall flee before him, Psalms 68:1 .
His arrow shall go forth with the lightning — Here the former matter is illustrated by many lofty tropes and allusions either to those ancient deliverances at the Red Sea, and against the Canaanites and Philistines, by thunders, lightning, and
Matthew 12:24 by the Puritans; that the fall of Blackfriars in London likewise was wrought by the Puritans, who had loosened the rafters, … Ex dissolutis per Puritanos continationibus, … D. Prid. Lect. That these are the opinions we hold and teach: 1. To worship no God. 2. To frame our religion to the times. 3. To account gain godliness. 4. To pretend public liberty to our private lusts. 5. To break our oaths, when it makes for our advantage. 6. To cover hatred with flattery. 7. To confirm tyranny
Matthew 17:11 unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
And restore all things — viz. In Malachi’s sense, i.e. not simply, absolutely, perfectly, for the royalty of restoring all things so was reserved for Christ alone, Acts 3:21 , but comparatively, to the state of the old Church. So those renowned reformers, Luther, Farellus, …, abroad, Cranmer, Cromwell, …, here at home, freed the churches from many burdens and bondages, did (for their time) worthily in Ephrata,
Matthew 5:2
And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
And he opened his mouth — This phrase is not superfluous (as some may conceit), but betokeneth free and full discourse, Ephesians 6:19 , of some weighty and important matter, Psalms 78:2 , uttered with great alacrity of spirit and vehemency of speech.
And taught them, saying — He taught them sometimes (saith Theodoret) when he opened not his mouth, sc. δια του
Matthew 8:12 condemnation, as Aulus Fulvius said to his traitorous son when he slew him with his own hands, Non Catiline te genui sed patriae. I begat you not to be a Catiline but a patriot. I called you not but to glory and virtue, neither to glory but by virtue, 2 Peter 1:3 . As you liked not the latter, so never look for the former. Every man is either a king or a captive; and shall either reign with Christ, or rue it for ever with the devil. Omnis homo aut est cum Christo regnaturus, aut cum diabolo cruciandus. Aug.
Mark 9:50 run together, striven, laboured, fought, overcome, and lived always together in much peace and concord.
And have peace one with another — By mortification, season, tame, and purge your own hearts of those lusts that war in your members, James 4:1 , and prove offensive to others, Mark 9:43 , so shall you be at peace one with another. Stomach worms are killed with salt.
John 16:2 service.
Whosoerer killeth you, … — Maximinian, the persecutor, thought that the blood of Christians would be a well pleasing sacrifice to his gods: Christianorum sanguinem Diis gratissimam esse victimam. (Tertul.) Budaeus thinks that the apostle, 1 Corinthians 4:13 , alludes to those heathenish expiations, wherein certain condemned persons were brought forth yearly with garlands upon their heads, and offered up as sacrifices to their gods, in time of any contagious infection especially; and these
Acts 17:23 UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
I found an altar — A high altar, βωμος , seems to come from áîä a high place. St Paul, as he preached without a pulpit,Acts 17:17; Acts 17:17 , so he takes his text off one of their altars. Anything serves turn, so he may do good.
To the unknown God — That uncertainty that attends idolatry caused those mariners to call every man to his God, John 1:5 . And lest they might
