John 4:17-18

4:17 The woman replied, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “Right you are when you said, ‘I have no husband,’ 4:18 for you have had five husbands, and the man you are living with now is not your husband. This you said truthfully!”

James 2:19

2:19 You believe that God is one; well and good. Even the demons believe that – and tremble with fear.


tn Grk “answered and said to him.”

tn Grk “Well have you said.”

tn The word order in Jesus’ reply is reversed from the woman’s original statement. The word “husband” in Jesus’ reply is placed in an emphatic position.

tn Grk “the one you have.”

tn Grk “you do well.”

tn Grk “believe and tremble.” The words “with fear” are implied.
