Luke 10:20

Context
10:20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice that 1  the spirits submit to you, but rejoice 2  that your names stand written 3  in heaven.”

1 tn Grk “do not rejoice in this, that.” This is awkward in contemporary English and has been simplified to “do not rejoice that.”

2 tn The verb here is a present imperative, so the call is to an attitude of rejoicing.

3 tn The verb here, a perfect tense, stresses a present reality of that which was a completed action, that is, their names were etched in the heavenly stone, as it were.
