John 5:23

5:23 so that all people ¹  will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.

John 8:49

8:49 Jesus answered, “I am not possessed by a demon, ²  but I honor my Father – and yet ³  you dishonor me.

John 16:2

16:2 They will put you out of ⁴  the synagogue, ⁵  yet a time ⁶  is coming when the one who kills you will think he is offering service to God. ⁷ 

Joshua 7:19

7:19 So Joshua said to Achan, “My son, honor ⁸  the Lord God of Israel and give him praise! Tell me what you did; don’t hide anything from me!”

Joshua 7:1

Achan Sins and is Punished

7:1 But the Israelites disobeyed the command about the city’s riches. ⁹  Achan son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, ¹⁰  son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, stole some of the riches. ¹¹  The Lord was furious with the Israelites. ¹² 

Joshua 6:5-9

6:5 When you hear the signal from the ram’s horn, ¹³  have the whole army give a loud battle cry. ¹⁴  Then the city wall will collapse ¹⁵  and the warriors should charge straight ahead.” ¹⁶ 

6:6 So Joshua son of Nun summoned the priests and instructed them, “Pick up the ark of the covenant, and seven priests must carry seven rams’ horns in front of the ark of the Lord.” 6:7 And he told ¹⁷  the army, ¹⁸  “Move ahead ¹⁹  and march around the city, with armed troops going ahead of the ark of the Lord.”

6:8 When Joshua gave the army its orders, ²⁰  the seven priests carrying the seven rams’ horns before the Lord moved ahead and blew the horns as the ark of the covenant of the Lord followed behind. 6:9 Armed troops marched ahead of the priests blowing the horns, while the rear guard followed along behind the ark blowing rams’ horns.

Psalms 50:14-15

50:14 Present to God a thank-offering!

Repay your vows to the sovereign One! ²¹ 

50:15 Pray to me when you are in trouble! ²² 

I will deliver you, and you will honor me!” ²³ 

Isaiah 66:5

66:5 Hear the word of the Lord,

you who respect what he has to say! ²⁴ 

Your countrymen, ²⁵  who hate you

and exclude you, supposedly for the sake of my name,

say, “May the Lord be glorified,

then we will witness your joy.” ²⁶ 

But they will be put to shame.

Romans 10:2-4

10:2 For I can testify that they are zealous for God, ²⁷  but their zeal is not in line with the truth. ²⁸  10:3 For ignoring the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking instead to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law, with the result that there is righteousness for everyone who believes.

[5:23]  ¹ tn Grk “all.” The word “people” is not in the Greek text but is supplied for stylistic reasons and for clarity (cf. KJV “all men”).

[8:49]  ² tn Grk “I do not have a demon.”

[8:49]  ³ tn “Yet” is supplied to show the contrastive element present in the context.

[16:2]  ⁴ tn Or “expel you from.”

[16:2]  ⁵ sn See the note on synagogue in 6:59.

[16:2]  ⁶ tn Grk “an hour.”

[16:2]  ⁷ sn Jesus now refers not to the time of his return to the Father, as he has frequently done up to this point, but to the disciples’ time of persecution. They will be excommunicated from Jewish synagogues. There will even be a time when those who kill Jesus’ disciples will think that they are offering service to God by putting the disciples to death. Because of the reference to service offered to God, it is almost certain that Jewish opposition is intended here in both cases rather than Jewish opposition in the first instance (putting the disciples out of synagogues) and Roman opposition in the second (putting the disciples to death). Such opposition materializes later and is recorded in Acts: The stoning of Stephen in 7:58-60 and the slaying of James the brother of John by Herod Agrippa I in Acts 12:2-3 are notable examples.

[7:19]  ⁸ tn Heb “give glory to.”

[7:1]  ⁹ tn Heb “But the sons of Israel were unfaithful with unfaithfulness concerning what was set apart [to the Lord].”

[7:1]  ¹⁰ tn 1 Chr 2:6 lists a “Zimri” (but no Zabdi) as one of the five sons of Zerah (cf. also 1 Chr 7:17, 18).

[7:1]  ¹¹ tn Heb “took from what was set apart [to the Lord].”

[7:1]  ¹² tn Heb “the anger of the Lord burned against the sons of Israel.”

[6:5]  ¹³ tn Heb “and it will be at the sounding of the horn, the ram’s horn, when you hear the sound of the ram’s horn.” The text of Josh 6:5 seems to be unduly repetitive, so for the sake of English style and readability, it is best to streamline the text here. The reading in the Hebrew looks like a conflation of variant readings, with the second (“when you hear the sound of the ram’s horn”) being an interpolation that assimilates the text to verse 20 (“when the army heard the sound of the horn”). Note that the words “when you hear the sound of the ram's horn” do not appear in the LXX of verse 5.

[6:5]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “all the people will shout with a loud shout.”

[6:5]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “fall in its place.”

[6:5]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and the people will go up, each man straight ahead.”

[6:7]  ¹⁷ tn An alternative reading is “and they said.” In this case the subject is indefinite and the verb should be translated as passive, “[the army] was told.”

[6:7]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “the people.”

[6:7]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “pass by.”

[6:8]  ²⁰ tn Heb “when Joshua spoke to the people.”

[50:14]  ²¹ tn Heb “Most High.” This divine title (עֶלְיוֹן, ’elyon) pictures God as the exalted ruler of the universe who vindicates the innocent and judges the wicked. See especially Pss 7:17; 9:2; 18:13; 21:7; 47:2.

[50:15]  ²² tn Heb “call [to] me in a day of trouble.”

[50:15]  ²³ sn In vv. 7-15 the Lord makes it clear that he was not rebuking Israel because they had failed to offer sacrifices (v. 8a). On the contrary, they had been faithful in doing so (v. 8b). However, their understanding of the essence of their relationship with God was confused. Apparently they believed that he needed/desired such sacrifices and that offering them would ensure their prosperity. But the Lord owns all the animals of the world and did not need Israel’s meager sacrifices (vv. 9-13). Other aspects of the relationship were more important to the Lord. He desired Israel to be thankful for his blessings (v. 14a), to demonstrate gratitude for his intervention by repaying the vows they made to him (v. 14b), and to acknowledge their absolute dependence on him (v. 15a). Rather than viewing their sacrifices as somehow essential to God’s well-being, they needed to understand their dependence on him.

[66:5]  ²⁴ tn Heb “who tremble at his word.”

[66:5]  ²⁵ tn Heb “brothers” (so NASB, NIV); NRSV “Your own people”; NLT “Your close relatives.”

[66:5]  ²⁶ tn Or “so that we might witness your joy.” The point of this statement is unclear.

[10:2]  ²⁷ tn Grk “they have a zeal for God.”

[10:2]  ²⁸ tn Grk “in accord with knowledge.”
