Kisah Para Rasul 2:46-47

2:46 Every day ¹  they continued to gather together by common consent in the temple courts, ²  breaking bread from ³  house to house, sharing their food with glad ⁴  and humble hearts, ⁵  2:47 praising God and having the good will ⁶  of all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number every day ⁷  those who were being saved.

Kisah Para Rasul 16:25

16:25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying ⁸  and singing hymns to God, ⁹  and the rest of ¹⁰  the prisoners were listening to them.

[2:46]  ¹ tn BDAG 437 s.v. ἡμέρα 2.c has “every day” for this phrase.

[2:46]  ² tn Grk “in the temple.” This is actually a reference to the courts surrounding the temple proper, and has been translated accordingly.

[2:46]  ³ tn Here κατά (kata) is used as a distributive (BDAG 512 s.v. B.1.d).

[2:46]  ⁴ sn The term glad (Grk “gladness”) often refers to joy brought about by God’s saving acts (Luke 1:14, 44; also the related verb in 1:47; 10:21).

[2:46]  ⁵ tn Grk “with gladness and humbleness of hearts.” It is best to understand καρδίας (kardias) as an attributed genitive, with the two nouns it modifies actually listing attributes of the genitive noun which is related to them.

[2:47]  ⁶ tn Or “the favor.”

[2:47]  ⁷ tn BDAG 437 s.v. ἡμέρα 2.c has “every day” for this phrase.

[16:25]  ⁸ tn Grk “praying, were singing.” The participle προσευχόμενοι (proseucomenoi) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[16:25]  ⁹ sn Praying and singing hymns to God. Tertullian said, “The legs feel nothing in the stocks when the heart is in heaven” (To the Martyrs 2; cf. Rom 5:3; Jas 1:2; 1 Pet 5:6). The presence of God means the potential to be free (cf. v. 26).

[16:25]  ¹⁰ tn The words “the rest of” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.
