2 tn Grk “for we did not make known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ by following cleverly concocted fables.” |
| (0.53847372727273) | (1Jo 2:6) |
3 tn That is, ought to behave in the same way Jesus did. “Walking” is a common NT idiom for one’s behavior or conduct. |
| (0.53847372727273) | (1Jo 2:6) |
4 tn Grk “that one.” Context indicates a reference to Jesus here. It is clear that ἐκεῖνος (ekeinos) here does not refer to the same person as αὐτῷ (autw) in Jesus+&tab=notes" ver="">2:6a. The switch to ἐκεῖνος indicates a change in the referent, and a reference to Jesus Christ is confirmed by the verb περιεπάτησεν (periepathsen), an activity which can only describe Jesus’ earthly life and ministry, the significance of which is one of the points of contention the author has with the opponents. In fact, ἐκεῖνος occurs 6 times in 1 John (Jesus+&tab=notes" ver="">2:6; 3:3, 5, 7, 16; and 4:17), and each one refers to Jesus Christ. |
| (0.53847372727273) | (1Jo 2:28) |
2 sn A reference to Jesus Christ is more likely here. Note the mention of the second coming (second advent) at the end of this verse. |
| (0.53847372727273) | (1Jo 3:5) |
1 sn In Johannine thought it is Jesus, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). |
| (0.53847372727273) | (1Jo 3:23) |
2 sn His commandment refers to what follows – the commandment from God is to believe in his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another. |
| (0.53847372727273) | (1Jo 3:24) |
2 tn Grk “in him.” In context this is almost certainly a reference to God (note the phrase “his Son Jesus Christ” in Jesus+&tab=notes" ver="">3:23). |
| (0.53847372727273) | (1Jo 3:24) |
3 tn Grk “he.” In context this is almost certainly a reference to God (note the phrase “his Son Jesus Christ” in Jesus+&tab=notes" ver="">3:23). |
| (0.53847372727273) | (1Jo 3:24) |
5 tn Grk “he.” In context this is almost certainly a reference to God (note the phrase “his Son Jesus Christ” in Jesus+&tab=notes" ver="">3:23). |
| (0.53847372727273) | (Jud 1:8) |
3 tn Most likely, the authority of the Lord is in view. This verse, then, echoes the indictment of v. Jesus+&tab=notes" ver="">4: “they deny our Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.” |
| (0.53847372727273) | (Rev 19:10) |
8 tn The genitive ᾿Ιησοῦ (Ihsou) has been translated as an objective genitive here. A subjective genitive, also possible, would produce the meaning “who hold to what Jesus testifies.” |
| (0.53847372727273) | (Rev 22:7) |
1 sn These lines are parenthetical, forming an aside to the narrative. The speaker here is the Lord Jesus Christ himself rather than the narrator. |

1 sn These lines are parenthetical, forming an aside to the narrative. The speaker here is the Lord Jesus Christ himself rather than the narrator. |

3 sn In general, the themes of the curse oracles are important in the NT teaching that Jesus became the cursed one hanging on the tree. In his suffering and death, all the motifs are drawn together: the tree, the sweat, the thorns, and the dust of death (see Ps 22:15). Jesus experienced it all, to have victory over it through the resurrection. |
| (0.52273163636364) | (Num 6:7) |
2 sn The Nazirite would defile himself, i.e., ruin his vow, by contacting their corpses. Jesus’ hard saying in Matt 8:22, “let the dead bury their own dead,” makes sense in the light of this passage – Jesus was calling for commitment to himself. |
| (0.52273163636364) | (Mat 7:29) |
1 sn Jesus’ teaching impressed the hearers with the directness of its claim; he taught with authority. A study of Jewish rabbinic interpretation shows that it was typical to cite a list of authorities to make one’s point. Apparently Jesus addressed the issues in terms of his own understanding. |
| (0.52273163636364) | (Mat 10:38) |
1 sn It was customary practice in a Roman crucifixion for the prisoner to be made to carry his own cross. Jesus is speaking figuratively here in the context of rejection. If the priority is not one’s allegiance to Jesus, then one will not follow him in the face of possible rejection. |
| (0.52273163636364) | (Mat 11:17) |
1 sn ‘We played the flute for you, yet you did not dance…’ The children of this generation were making the complaint (see vv. Jesus+&tab=notes" ver="">18-19) that others were not playing the game according to the way they played the music. John and Jesus did not follow “their tune.” Jesus’ complaint was that this generation wanted things their way, not God’s. |
| (0.52273163636364) | (Mat 12:29) |
3 sn Some see the imagery here as similar to Eph 4:7-10, although no opponents are explicitly named in that passage. Jesus has the victory over Satan. Jesus’ acts of healing mean that the war is being won and the kingdom is coming. |
