NET © Notes |
1 tn Or “fixed.” 2 sn The world refers to the whole inhabited earth. 3 tn Or “appointed.” BDAG 723 s.v. ὁρίζω 2.b has “of persons appoint, designate, declare: God judges the world ἐν ἀνδρὶ ᾧ ὥρισεν through a man whom he has appointed Ac 17:31.” sn A man whom he designated. Jesus is put in the position of eschatological judge. As judge of the living and the dead, he possesses divine authority (Acts 10:42). 4 tn The participle ἀναστήσας (anasthsa") indicates means here. |
