Kisah Para Rasul 13:26

13:26 Brothers, ⁵  descendants ⁶  of Abraham’s family, ⁷  and those Gentiles among you who fear God, ⁸  the message ⁹  of this salvation has been sent to us.

[13:16]  ¹ tn This participle, ἀναστάς (anasta"), and the following one, κατασείσας (kataseisa"), are both translated as adverbial participles of attendant circumstance.

[13:16]  ² tn Or “motioned.”

[13:16]  ³ tn Or “Israelite men,” although this is less natural English. The Greek term here is ἀνήρ (anhr), which only exceptionally is used in a generic sense of both males and females. In this context involving an address to a synagogue gathering, it is conceivable that this is a generic usage, although it can also be argued that Paul’s remarks were addressed primarily to the men present, even if women were there.

[13:16]  ⁴ tn Grk “and those who fear God,” but this is practically a technical term for the category called God-fearers, Gentiles who worshiped the God of Israel and in many cases kept the Mosaic law, but did not take the final step of circumcision necessary to become a proselyte to Judaism. See further K. G. Kuhn, TDNT 6:732-34, 743-44.

[13:26]  ⁵ tn Grk “Men brothers,” but this is both awkward and unnecessary in English.

[13:26]  ⁶ tn Grk “sons”

[13:26]  ⁷ tn Or “race.”

[13:26]  ⁸ tn Grk “and those among you who fear God,” but this is practically a technical term for the category called God-fearers, Gentiles who worshiped the God of Israel and in many cases kept the Mosaic law, but did not take the final step of circumcision necessary to become a proselyte to Judaism. See further K. G. Kuhn, TDNT 6:732-34, 743-44. Note how Paul includes God-fearing Gentiles as recipients of this promise.

[13:26]  ⁹ tn Grk “word.”
