Acts 4:9

4:9 if ¹  we are being examined ²  today for a good deed ³  done to a sick man – by what means this man was healed ⁴  –

Acts 4:12

4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among people ⁵  by which we must ⁶  be saved.”

¹ tn This clause is a first class condition. It assumes for the sake of argument that this is what they were being questioned about.

² tn Or “questioned.” The Greek term ἀνακρίνω (anakrinw) points to an examination similar to a legal one.

³ tn Or “for an act of kindness.”

⁴ tn Or “delivered” (σέσωται [seswtai], from σώζω [swzw]). See 4:12.

⁵ tn Here ἀνθρώποις (anqrwpoi") has been translated as a generic noun (“people”).

⁶ sn Must be saved. The term used here (δεῖ, dei, “it is necessary”) reflects the necessity set up by God’s directive plan.
