Yakobus 5:1

Warning to the Rich

5:1 Come now, you rich! Weep and cry aloud ¹⁰  over the miseries that are coming on you.

Yohanes 5:14-15

5:14 After this Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “Look, you have become well. Don’t sin any more, ¹¹  lest anything worse happen to you.” 5:15 The man went away and informed the Jewish leaders ¹²  that Jesus was the one who had made him well.

[18:32]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Abraham) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:21]  ² tn Heb “And he said, ‘Look, I will grant.’” The order of the clauses has been rearranged for stylistic reasons. The referent of the speaker (“he”) is somewhat ambiguous: It could be taken as the angel to whom Lot has been speaking (so NLT; note the singular references in vv. 18-19), or it could be that Lot is speaking directly to the Lord here. Most English translations leave the referent of the pronoun unspecified and maintain the ambiguity.

[19:21]  ³ tn Heb “I have lifted up your face [i.e., shown you favor] also concerning this matter.”

[19:21]  ⁴ tn The negated infinitive construct indicates either the consequence of God’s granting the request (“I have granted this request, so that I will not”) or the manner in which he will grant it (“I have granted your request by not destroying”).

[65:24]  ⁵ tn The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2.

[16:23]  ⁶ tn Grk “And in that day.”

[16:23]  ⁷ tn Grk “Truly, truly, I say to you.”

[16:23]  ⁸ sn This statement is also found in John 15:16.

[5:16]  ⁹ tn Or “the fervent prayer of a righteous person is very powerful”; Grk “is very powerful in its working.”

[5:1]  ¹⁰ tn Or “wail”; Grk “crying aloud.”

[5:14]  ¹¹ tn Since this is a prohibition with a present imperative, the translation “stop sinning” is sometimes suggested. This is not likely, however, since the present tense is normally used in prohibitions involving a general condition (as here) while the aorist tense is normally used in specific instances. Only when used opposite the normal usage (the present tense in a specific instance, for example) would the meaning “stop doing what you are doing” be appropriate.

[5:15]  ¹² tn Or “the Jewish authorities”; Grk “the Jews.” See the note on the phrase “Jewish leaders” in v. 10.
