Acts 7:60

Then he fell ¹  to his knees and cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them!” ²  When ³  he had said this, he died. ⁴ 

Ezr 9:5; Da 6:10; Mt 5:44; Lu 6:28; Lu 22:41; Lu 23:34; Ac 9:40; Ac 13:36; Ac 20:36; Ac 21:5; Ro 12:14-21; 1Co 11:30; 1Co 15:6,18,20,51; 1Th 4:13,14; 1Th 5:10

¹ tn Grk “Then falling to his knees he cried out.” The participle θείς (qeis) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

² sn The remarks Lord Jesus, receive my spirit and Lord, do not hold this sin against them recall statements Jesus made on the cross (Luke 23:34, 46).

³ tn Grk “And when.” Because of the length of the Greek sentence and the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences, καί (kai) has not been translated here; a new sentence is begun instead.

⁴ tn The verb κοιμάω (koimaw) literally means “sleep,” but it is often used in the Bible as a euphemism for the death of a believer.
