Kisah Para Rasul 3:16-17

3:16 And on the basis of faith in Jesus’ ⁷  name, ⁸  his very name has made this man – whom you see and know – strong. The ⁹  faith that is through Jesus ¹⁰  has given him this complete health in the presence ¹¹  of you all. 3:17 And now, brothers, I know you acted in ignorance, ¹²  as your rulers did too.

Kisah Para Rasul 7:2

7:2 So he replied, ¹³  “Brothers and fathers, listen to me. The God of glory appeared to our forefather ¹⁴  Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he settled in Haran,

Yakobus 2:1

Prejudice and the Law of Love

2:1 My brothers and sisters, ¹⁵  do not show prejudice ¹⁶  if you possess faith ¹⁷  in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ 

[24:7]  ¹ tn Heb “lift up your heads.” The gates of the Lord’s dwelling place are here personified. The idiom “lift up the head” often means “be confident, bold” (see Judg 8:28; Job 10:15; Ps 83:2; Zech 1:21).

[24:7]  ² tn Heb “lift yourselves up.”

[24:7]  ³ tn Or “king of glory.”

[24:7]  ⁴ tn Following the imperatives of the preceding lines, the prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive indicates purpose or result.

[24:8]  ⁵ sn Who is this majestic king? Perhaps the personified gates/doors ask this question, in response to the command given in v. 7.

[24:10]  ⁶ tn Traditionally, “the Lord of hosts,” a title which here pictures the Lord as a mighty warrior-king who leads armies into battle.

[3:16]  ⁷ tn Grk “in his name”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[3:16]  ⁸ sn Here is another example of appeal to the person by mentioning the name. See the note on the word name in 3:6.

[3:16]  ⁹ tn Grk “see and know, and the faith.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation and καί (kai, “and”) has not been translated.

[3:16]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[3:16]  sn The faith that is through Jesus. Note how this verse explains how the claim to “faith in Jesus’ name” works and what it means. To appeal to the name is to point to the person. It is not clear that the man expressed faith before the miracle. This could well be a “grace-faith miracle” where God grants power through the apostles to picture how much a gift life is (Luke 17:11-19). Christology and grace are emphasized here.

[3:16]  ¹¹ tn Or “in full view.”

[3:17]  ¹² sn The ignorance Peter mentions here does not excuse them from culpability. It was simply a way to say “you did not realize the great mistake you made.”

[7:2]  ¹³ tn Grk “said.”

[7:2]  ¹⁴ tn Or “ancestor”; Grk “father.”

[2:1]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:2.

[2:1]  ¹⁶ tn Or “partiality.”

[2:1]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “do not have faith with personal prejudice,” with emphasis on the last phrase.

[2:1]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “our Lord Jesus Christ of glory.” Here δόξης (doxhs) has been translated as an attributive genitive.
