Hearing and Doing

7:24 “Everyone ⁷  who hears these words of mine and does them is like ⁸  a wise man ⁹  who built his house on rock. 7:25 The rain fell, the flood ¹⁰  came, and the winds beat against that house, but it did not collapse because it had been founded on rock. 7:26 Everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 7:27 The rain fell, the flood came, and the winds beat against that house, and it collapsed; it was utterly destroyed!” ¹¹ 

James 1:22

Revelation 3:19

3:19 All those ¹²  I love, I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent!

[5:13]  ¹ tn The vav that introduces this clause functions in an explanatory sense.

[5:13]  ² tn The Hebrew term מוֹרַי (moray) is the nominal form based on the Hiphil plural participle with a suffix, from the root יָרָה (yarah). The verb is “to teach,” the common noun is “instruction, law [torah],” and this participle form is teacher (“my teachers”).

[5:13]  ³ sn The idioms are vivid: This expression is “incline the ear”; earlier in the first line is “listen to the voice,” meaning “obey.” Such detailed description emphasizes the importance of the material.

[5:13]  ⁴ tn The form is the Piel plural participle of לָמַד (lamad) used substantivally.

[21:18]  ⁵ tn Heb “and he does not listen to them.”

[21:20]  ⁶ tc The LXX and Smr read “to the men,” probably to conform to this phrase in v. 21. However, since judicial cases were the responsibility of the elders in such instances (cf. Deut 19:12; 21:3, 6; 25:7-8) the reading of the MT is likely original and correct here.

[7:24]  ⁷ tn Grk “Therefore everyone.” Here οὖν (oun) has not been translated.

[7:24]  ⁸ tn Grk “will be like.” The same phrase occurs in v. 26.

[7:24]  ⁹ tn Here and in v. 26 the Greek text reads ἀνήρ (anhr), while the parallel account in Luke 6:47-49 uses ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") in vv. 48 and 49.

[7:25]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “the rivers.”

[7:27]  ¹¹ tn Grk “and great was its fall.”

[3:19]  ¹² tn The Greek pronoun ὅσος (Josos) means “as many as” and can be translated “All those” or “Everyone.”
