Psalms 38 overview — composed by him. There is no tradition to the contrary, and there is nothing in the psalm inconsistent with such a supposition.II. “The title” - The psalm is said in the title to be designed “to bring to remembrance.” The same title occurs in Psalms 70:1-5, though there is no resemblance between the two, except that they both have reference to the attempts and purposes of the enemies of David, and to trials in different forms which had come from them. The Latin Vulgate renders this: “A Psalm of David,

Numbers 5:11-31 — the Great, and may therefore well serve to illustrate the manners and customs of the Mosaic times. This mode of trial, like several other ordinances, was adopted by Moses from existing and probably very ancient and widely spread institutions.Numbers 5:15The offering was to be of the cheapest and coarsest kind, barley (compare 2 Kings 7:1, 2 Kings 7:16, 2 Kings 7:18), representing the abused condition of the suspected woman. It was, like the sin-offering Leviticus 5:11, to be made without oil and frankincense,

Micah 4:13 — parte con ruedas de hierro, o con tablones con pedernales afilados en un lugar abierto que es difícil para este fin. El profeta se une a otra imagen, con esto, y representa a Judá como un dios dotado de fuerza, primero como con un "cuerno de hierro" 1 Reyes 22:11 para arrojar al enemigo al suelo, y luego con "cascos de latón ", con lo que pisotearlos hasta convertirlos en polvo, como el rastrojo y la paja. "Y consagraré su ganancia al Señor", es decir, a mí mismo; el Señor los recogió en el piso

Habakkuk 3:4 — and His brightness - that wherein God dwelleth Ezekiel 10:4, “the brightness of the Lord’s glory,” before which darkness fleeth Psalms 18:12, “was as the light,” or as the sun. Out of the midst of the darkness, wherewith God, as it were Exodus 19:9, Exodus 19:16; Exodus 20:21, hid Himself, the brightness

Matthew 5:22 — But I say unto you - Jesus being God as well as man John 1:1, John 1:14, and therefore, being the original giver of the law, had a right to expound it or change it as he pleased. Compare Matthew 12:6, Matthew 12:8. He therefore spoke here and elsewhere as having authority, and not as the scribes. It may be

Matthew 5:22 — Pero te digo: Jesús siendo Dios, así como el hombre Juan 1:1, Juan 1:14 y, por lo tanto, siendo el dador original de la ley, tuvo derecho a exponerlo O cambiarlo como él contento. Comparar Mateo 12:6, Mateo 12:8. Por lo tanto, habló aquí y en otros lugares como autoridad, y no como los escribas. Se puede

Matthew 7:28-29 — showed that he had authority to explain, to enforce, and to “change” the ceremonial laws of the Jews. He came with authority such as no “man” could have, and it is not remarkable that his explanations astonished them. From this chapter we may learn,1. The evil of censorious judging, Matthew 7:1-5. We cannot see the heart. We have ourselves possibly greater faults than the persons that we condemn. They may possibly be of a different kind; but it is nevertheless not uncommon for persons to he very

Matthew 7:28-29 — Mostró que tenía autoridad para explicar, hacer cumplir y "cambiar" las leyes ceremoniales de los judíos. Vino con autoridad como ningún "hombre" podría tener, y no es notable que sus explicaciones los asombraran. De este capítulo podemos aprender, 1. El mal del juicio censurado, Mateo 7:1. No podemos ver el corazón. Posiblemente tenemos fallas mayores que las personas que condenamos. Posiblemente pueden ser de un tipo diferente; pero, sin embargo, no es raro que las personas sean muy censuradas

Acts 28:31 — without anyone to hinder him. It is known also that Paul was not unsuccessful even when a prisoner at Rome. Several persons were converted by his preaching, even in the court of the emperor. The things which had happened to him, he says Philippians 1:12-14, had fallen out rather to the furtherance of the gospel, so that his bonds in Christ were manifested in all the palace, and in all other places; and many brethren in the Lord, says he, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak

1 Corinthians 11:27 — diseño de Pablo es corregir su modo incorrecto de observar esta ordenanza; y después de mostrarles la verdadera naturaleza y diseño de la institución, ahora declara las consecuencias de participar de manera inadecuada. Deberá comer este pan - Ver 1 Corintios 11:26. Pablo todavía lo llama pan, y muestra así que él era un extraño en la doctrina de que el pan fue transformado en el cuerpo mismo del Señor Jesús. Si la doctrina papal de la transubstanciación hubiera sido cierta, Pablo no podría haberla

1 Corinthians 9:27 — But I keep under my body - (ὑπωπιάζω hupōpiazō). This word occurs in the New Testament only here and in Luke 18:5, “Lest by her continual coming she ‘weary’ me.” The word is derived probably from ὑπώπιον hupōpion, the part of the face “under the eye” (Passow), and means properly, to strike under the eye, either with the fist or the cestus, so as to render

1 Corinthians 9:27 — Pero mantengo debajo de mi cuerpo - (ὑπωπιάζω hupōpiazō). Esta palabra aparece en el Nuevo Testamento solo aquí y en Lucas 18:5, "A menos que por su continua llegada ella me" canse "." La palabra se deriva probablemente de ὑπώπιον hupōpion, la parte de la cara "debajo del ojo" (Passow), y significa correctamente, golpear debajo del ojo, ya sea con el puño o el cestus, para

2 Corinthians 5:17 — “be in Christ,” evidently means to be united to Christ by faith; or to be in him as the branch is in the vine - that is, so united to the vine, or so in it, as to derive all its nourishment and support from it, and to be sustained entirely by it. John 15:2, “every branch in me.” John 15:4, “abide in me, and I in you.” “The branch cannot bear fruit of itself except it abide in the vine; no more can ye except ye abide in me.” See also John 15:5-7, see the note on John 15:2. To be “in Christ” denotes

2 Corinthians 5:17 — evidentemente significa estar unido a Cristo por la fe; o estar en él cuando la sucursal está en la vid, es decir, así que se unió a la vid, o así en ella, como para derivar todo su nutrición y apoyo de él, y para ser sostenidos por completo. Juan 15:2, "Cada rama en mí". Juan 15:4, "Mantente en mí, y yo en ti". "La rama no puede dar fruto de sí mismo, excepto que permanece en la vid; No más puedes, excepto a mí, a mí ". Consulte también Juan 15:5-7, vea la nota en Joh 15: 2 . Ser "en Cristo"

2 Thessalonians 2:17 — Consuela tus corazones; - ver las notas, 1Th 3: 2 ; 1 Tesalonicenses 5:11, 1 Tesalonicenses 5:14. Los tesalonicenses estaban en medio de pruebas, y Pablo oró para que pudieran tener los consuelos completos de su religión. Y establecerte - Hacerte firme y firme; 1Th 3: 2 , 1 Tesalonicenses

Titus 3:5 — chose, and no blame would be attached to him if he should suffer us to sink down to ruin.He saved us - That is, he began that salvation in us which is to be completed in heaven. A man who is already renewed and pardoned may be spoken of as saved - for: (1)The work of salvation is begun, and, (2)When begun it will certainly be completed; see the notes at Philippians 1:6.By the washing of regeneration - In order to a correct understanding of this important passage, it is necessary to ascertain whether

Hebrews 6:2 — first of which is an emblem of the second.These are stated to be among the “elements” of Christianity, or the things which Christian converts would first learn. The necessity of both is taught. He that believeth and is “baptized” shall be saved; Mark 16:16. “Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God,” John 3:5. On the baptism of the Holy Spirit, see the Matthew 3:11 note; Acts 1:5 note; compare Acts 19:1-6. To understand the true doctrine respecting baptism

1 Peter 1:2 — choose them or not. That must be determined by something else than the mere use of the term. This word has reference to the act of selecting them, without throwing any light on the question why it was done. See Matthew 24:22, Matthew 24:24, Matthew 24:31; Mark 13:20; Luke 18:7; Romans 8:33; Colossians 3:12. Compare the notes at John 15:16. The meaning is, that God had, on some account, a preference for them above others as his people, and had chosen them from the midst of others to be heirs of salvation.

2 Peter 1:19 — prophetic word;” omitting the comparison.A literal translation of the passage would be,” and we have the prophetic word more firm.” If a comparison is intended, it may be either that the prophecy was more sure than the fables referred to in 2 Peter 1:16; or than the miracle of the transfiguration; or than the word which was heard in the holy mount; or than the prophecies even in the time when they were first spoken. If such a comparison was designed, the most obvious of these interpretations would

Revelation 7:4 — simbolizado? ¿Es de un número grande, o de un pequeño número? ¿Es de los que se salvarían entre los judíos, o de todos los que serían salvos en la iglesia cristiana, representados como las "tribus de los hijos de Israel?" A estas consultas podemos responder: (1) que la representación parece ser más bien la de un número comparativamente pequeño que uno grande, por estos motivos: (a) El número de sí mismo no es grande. (b) el número no es grande en comparación con aquellos que deben haber constituido a las tribus
