2 Raja-raja 17:32-33
Konteks17:32 At the same time they worshiped 1 the Lord. They appointed some of their own people to serve as priests in the shrines on the high places. 2 17:33 They were worshiping 3 the Lord and at the same time serving their own gods in accordance with the practices of the nations from which they had been deported.
Yosua 24:14-20
Konteks24:14 Now 4 obey 5 the Lord and worship 6 him with integrity and loyalty. Put aside the gods your ancestors 7 worshiped 8 beyond the Euphrates 9 and in Egypt and worship 10 the Lord. 24:15 If you have no desire 11 to worship 12 the Lord, choose today whom you will worship, 13 whether it be the gods whom your ancestors 14 worshiped 15 beyond the Euphrates, 16 or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living. But I and my family 17 will worship 18 the Lord!”
24:16 The people responded, “Far be it from us to abandon the Lord so we can 19 worship 20 other gods! 24:17 For the Lord our God took us and our fathers out of slavery 21 in the land of Egypt 22 and performed these awesome miracles 23 before our very eyes. He continually protected us as we traveled and when we passed through nations. 24 24:18 The Lord drove out from before us all the nations, including the Amorites who lived in the land. So we too will worship 25 the Lord, for he is our God!”
24:19 Joshua warned 26 the people, “You will not keep worshiping 27 the Lord, for 28 he is a holy God. 29 He is a jealous God who will not forgive 30 your rebellion or your sins. 24:20 If 31 you abandon the Lord and worship 32 foreign gods, he will turn against you; 33 he will bring disaster on you and destroy you, 34 though he once treated you well.” 35
Yosua 24:1
Konteks24:1 Joshua assembled all the Israelite tribes at Shechem. He summoned Israel’s elders, rulers, judges, and leaders, and they appeared before God.

Zefanya 1:5
Konteks1:5 I will remove 41 those who worship the stars in the sky from their rooftops, 42

Matius 6:24
Konteks6:24 “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate 46 the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise 47 the other. You cannot serve God and money. 48
Wahyu 3:15-16
Konteks3:15 ‘I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. 49 I wish you were either cold or hot! 3:16 So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am going 50 to vomit 51 you out of my mouth!
[17:32] 2 tn Heb “and they appointed for themselves from their whole people priests for the high places and they were serving for them in the house[s] of the high places.”
[24:14] 4 sn Joshua quotes the
[24:14] 7 tn Heb “your fathers.”
[24:14] 9 tn Heb “the river,” referring to the Euphrates. This has been specified in the translation for clarity; see v. 3.
[24:15] 11 tn Heb “if it is bad in your eyes.”
[24:15] 13 tn Or “will serve.”
[24:15] 14 tn Heb “your fathers.”
[24:15] 16 tn Heb “the river,” referring to the Euphrates. This has been specified in the translation for clarity; see v. 3.
[24:15] 18 tn Or “will serve.”
[24:17] 21 tn Heb “of the house of slavery.”
[24:17] 22 tn Heb “for the
[24:17] 23 tn Or “great signs.”
[24:17] 24 tn Heb “and he guarded us in all the way in which we walked and among all the peoples through whose midst we passed.”
[24:18] 25 tn Or “will serve.”
[24:19] 27 tn Heb “you are not able to serve.”
[24:19] 28 sn For an excellent discussion of Joshua’s logical argument here, see T. C. Butler, Joshua (WBC), 274-75.
[24:19] 29 tn In the Hebrew text both the divine name (אֱלֹהִים, ’elohim) and the adjective (קְדֹשִׁים, qÿdoshim, “holy”) are plural. Normally the divine name, when referring to the one true God, takes singular modifiers, but this is a rare exception where the adjective agrees grammatically with the honorific plural noun. See GKC §124.i and IBHS 122.
[24:19] 30 tn Heb “lift up” or “take away.”
[24:19] sn This assertion obviously needs qualification, for the OT elsewhere affirms that God does forgive. Joshua is referring to the persistent national rebellion against the Mosaic covenant that eventually cause God to decree unconditionally the nation’s exile.
[24:20] 33 tn The words “against you” are added for clarification.
[24:20] 34 tn Heb “bring you to an end.”
[24:20] 35 tn Heb “after he did good for you.”
[18:21] 36 tn Or “but took leave of.”
[18:21] 37 tn Grk “and saying”; the participle εἰπών (eipwn) has been translated as “added” rather than “said” to avoid redundancy with the previous “said farewell.” The participle εἰπών has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
[18:21] 38 tn Or “will return.”
[18:21] 39 tn The participle θέλοντος (qelontos), a genitive absolute construction, has been translated as a conditional adverbial participle. Again Paul acts in dependence on God.
[18:21] 40 tn A new sentence was begun here in the translation due to the length of the sentence in Greek and the requirements of contemporary English style, which generally uses shorter sentences.
[1:5] 41 tn The words “I will remove” are repeated from v. 4b for stylistic reasons. In the Hebrew text vv. 4b-6 contain a long list of objects for the verb “I will remove” in v. 4b. In the present translation a new sentence was begun at the beginning of v. 5 in keeping with the tendency of contemporary English to use shorter sentences.
[1:5] 42 tn Heb “those who worship on their roofs the host of heaven.” The “host of heaven” included the sun, moon, planets, and stars, all of which were deified in the ancient Near East.
[1:5] 43 tc The MT reads, “those who worship, those who swear allegiance to the
[1:5] 44 tn Heb “those who swear by.”
[1:5] 45 tn The referent of “their king” is unclear. It may refer sarcastically to a pagan god (perhaps Baal) worshiped by the people. Some English versions (cf. NEB, NASB, NRSV) prefer to emend the text to “Milcom,” the name of an Ammonite god (following some LXX
[6:24] 46 sn The contrast between hate and love here is rhetorical. The point is that one will choose the favorite if a choice has to be made.
[6:24] 47 tn Or “and treat [the other] with contempt.”
[6:24] 48 tn Grk “God and mammon.”
[6:24] sn The term money is used to translate mammon, the Aramaic term for wealth or possessions. The point is not that money is inherently evil, but that it is often misused so that it is a means of evil; see 1 Tim 6:6-10, 17-19. God must be first, not money or possessions.
[3:15] 49 sn Laodicea was near two other towns, each of which had a unique water source. To the north was Hierapolis which had a natural hot spring, often used for medicinal purposes. To the east was Colossae which had cold, pure waters. In contrast to these towns, Laodicea had no permanent supply of good water. Efforts to pipe water to the city from nearby springs were successful, but it would arrive lukewarm. The metaphor in the text is not meant to relate spiritual fervor to temperature. This would mean that Laodicea would be commended for being spiritually cold, but it is unlikely that Jesus would commend this. Instead, the metaphor condemns Laodicea for not providing spiritual healing (being hot) or spiritual refreshment (being cold) to those around them. It is a condemnation of their lack of works and lack of witness.
[3:16] 51 tn This is the literal meaning of the Greek verb ἐμέω (emew). It is usually translated with a much weaker term like “spit out” due to the unpleasant connotations of the English verb “vomit,” as noted by L&N 23.44. The situation confronting the Laodicean church is a dire one, however, and such a term is necessary if the modern reader is to understand the gravity of the situation.
