Yohanes 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.

Yohanes 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.

Yohanes 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 

Yosua 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!”

Yosua 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 

1 Samuel 6:5-9

6:5 You should make images of the sores and images of the mice ¹³  that are destroying the land. You should honor the God of Israel. Perhaps he will release his grip on you, your gods, and your land. ¹⁴  6:6 Why harden your hearts like the Egyptians and Pharaoh did? ¹⁵  When God ¹⁶  treated them harshly, didn’t the Egyptians send the Israelites on their way? ¹⁷  6:7 So now go and make a new cart. Get two cows that have calves and that have never had a yoke placed on them. Harness the cows to the cart and take their calves from them back to their stalls. 6:8 Then take the ark of the Lord and place it on the cart, and put in a chest beside it the gold objects you are sending to him as a guilt offering. You should then send it on its way. 6:9 But keep an eye on it. If it should go up by the way of its own border to Beth Shemesh, then he has brought this great calamity on us. But if that is not the case, then we will know that it was not his hand that struck us; rather, it just happened to us by accident.”

Mazmur 50:14-15

50:14 Present to God a thank-offering!

Repay your vows to the sovereign One! ¹⁸ 

50:15 Pray to me when you are in trouble! ¹⁹ 

I will deliver you, and you will honor me!” ²⁰ 

Yesaya 66:5

66:5 Hear the word of the Lord,

you who respect what he has to say! ²¹ 

Your countrymen, ²²  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.” ²³ 

But they will be put to shame.

Roma 10:2-4

10:2 For I can testify that they are zealous for God, ²⁴  but their zeal is not in line with the truth. ²⁵  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.”

[7:1]  sn This incident illustrates well the principle of corporate solidarity and corporate guilt. The sin of one man brought the Lord’s anger down upon the entire nation.

[6:5]  ¹³ tn Heb “your mice.” A Qumran ms has simply “the mice.”

[6:5]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “Perhaps he will lighten his hand from upon you and from upon your gods and from upon your land.”

[6:6]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “like Egypt and Pharaoh hardened their heart.”

[6:6]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:6]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “and they sent them away and they went.”

[50:14]  ¹⁸ 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]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “call [to] me in a day of trouble.”

[50:15]  ²⁰ 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]  ²¹ tn Heb “who tremble at his word.”

[66:5]  ²² tn Heb “brothers” (so NASB, NIV); NRSV “Your own people”; NLT “Your close relatives.”

[66:5]  ²³ tn Or “so that we might witness your joy.” The point of this statement is unclear.

[10:2]  ²⁴ tn Grk “they have a zeal for God.”

[10:2]  ²⁵ tn Grk “in accord with knowledge.”

[10:2]  sn Their zeal is not in line with the truth means that the Jews’ passion for God was strong, but it ignored the true righteousness of God (v. 3; cf. also 3:21).
