Discovery Box| (0.22) | (Joe 1:1) | 2 sn The name Joel means in Hebrew “the Lord is God.” |
| (0.22) | (Dan 9:9) | 1 tn Heb “to the Lord our God (belong) compassion and forgiveness.” |
| (0.22) | (Psa 70:5) | 3 tn Ps 40:17 has “my God” instead of “Lord.” |
| (0.22) | (2Ch 33:12) | 3 tn Heb “appeased the face of the Lord his God.” |
| (0.21) | (Heb 1:10) | 1 sn You founded the earth…your years will never run out. In its original setting Ps 102:25-27 refers to the work of God in creation, but here in Hebrews 1:10-12 the writer employs it in reference to Christ, the Lord, making a strong argument for the essential deity of the Son. |
| (0.21) | (Luk 4:8) | 4 tc Most later mss (A Θ 0102 M) alter the word order by moving the verb forward in the quotation. This alteration removes the emphasis from “the Lord your God” as the one to receive worship (as opposed to Satan) by moving it away from the beginning of the quotation. |
| (0.21) | (Jer 13:16) | 1 tn Heb “Give glory/respect to the Lord your God.” For this nuance of the word “glory” (כָּבוֹד, kavod), see BDB 459 s.v. כָּבוֹד 6.b and compare the usage in Mal 1:6 and Josh 7:19. |
| (0.21) | (Jer 2:19) | 3 tn Heb “to leave the Lord your God.” The change in person is intended to ease the problem of the rapid transition, which is common in Hebrew style but not in English, from third to first person between this line and the next. |
| (0.21) | (Deu 31:13) | 1 tn The phrase “this law” is not in the Hebrew text, but English style requires an object for the verb here. Other translations also supply the object which is otherwise implicit (cf. NIV “who do not know this law”; TEV “who have never heard the Law of the Lord your God”). |
| (0.21) | (Deu 24:9) | 1 sn What the Lord your God did to Miriam. The reference is to Miriam’s having contracted leprosy because of her intemperate challenge to Moses’ leadership (Num 12:1-15). The purpose for the allusion here appears to be the assertion of the theocratic leadership of the priests who, like Moses, should not be despised. |
| (0.21) | (Deu 12:1) | 2 tn Heb “you must be careful to obey in the land the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess all the days which you live in the land.” This adverbial statement modifies “to obey,” not “to possess,” so the order in the translation has been rearranged to make this clear. |
| (0.21) | (Gen 19:19) | 1 tn The second person pronominal suffixes are singular in this verse (note “your eyes,” “you have made great,” and “you have acted”). Verse 18a seems to indicate that Lot is addressing the angels, but the use of the singular and the appearance of the divine title “Lord” (אֲדֹנָי, ʾadonay) in v. 18b suggests he is speaking to God. |
| (0.21) | (2Ti 4:10) | 2 tn Grk “having loved.” |
| (0.21) | (1Th 4:9) | 1 tn Grk “concerning brotherly love.” |
| (0.21) | (Rom 14:15) | 3 tn Grk “according to love.” |
| (0.21) | (Ecc 9:6) | 1 tn Heb “their love.” |
| (0.21) | (1Sa 16:21) | 1 tn Heb “he loved him.” |
| (0.21) | (Gen 29:18) | 1 tn Heb “Jacob loved.” |
| (0.21) | (1Jo 4:10) | 1 tn Once again there is the (by now familiar) problem of determining whether the referent of this phrase (1) precedes or (2) follows. Here there are two ὅτι (hoti) clauses which follow, both of which are epexegetical to the phrase ἐν τούτῳ (en toutō) and explain what the love of God consists of: first, stated negatively, “not that we have loved God,” and then positively, “but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.” |
| (0.21) | (1Jo 5:3) | 1 tn The force of the γάρ (gar) at the beginning of 5:3 is similar to another introductory formula used by the author of 1 John, καὶ αὕτη ἐστίν (kai hautē estin; used in 1:5; 5:4, 11, and 14). The γάρ draws an inference based on the preceding statements, particularly the one in 5:2b, regarding the love of God. If in 5:2 loving God and keeping his commandments is the key to knowing that we love God’s children, it is important to define what the love of God involves, and this is what the author is doing in 5:3. In fact, as the following ἵνα (hina) clause makes clear, loving God consists in keeping his commandments. |
