2 Tawarikh 31:20

31:20 This is what Hezekiah did throughout Judah. He did what the Lord his God considered good and right and faithful.

2 Tawarikh 31:1

31:1 When all this was over, the Israelites ¹  who were in the cities of Judah went out and smashed the sacred pillars, cut down the Asherah poles, and demolished ²  all the high places and altars throughout Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh. ³  Then all the Israelites returned to their own homes in their cities. ⁴ 

Kisah Para Rasul 15:11

15:11 On the contrary, we believe that we are saved through ⁵  the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they are.” ⁶ 

Kisah Para Rasul 15:14

15:14 Simeon ⁷  has explained ⁸  how God first concerned himself ⁹  to select ¹⁰  from among the Gentiles ¹¹  a people for his name.

Lukas 1:75

1:75 in holiness and righteousness ¹²  before him for as long as we live. ¹³ 

[31:1]  ¹ tn Heb “all Israel.”

[31:1]  ² tn Or “tore down.”

[31:1]  ³ tn Heb “the high places and the altars from all Judah and Benjamin and in Ephraim and in Manasseh until finished.”

[31:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “and the sons of Israel returned, each to his possession to their cities.”

[15:11]  ⁵ tn Or “by.”

[15:11]  ⁶ tn Or “Jesus, just as they are.” BDAG 1016-17 s.v. τρόπος 1 translates καθ᾿ ὃν τρόπον (kaq’ Jon tropon) here as “in the same way as.”

[15:11]  sn In the same way as they are. Here is an interesting reversal of the argument. Jews are saved by grace (without law), as Gentiles are.

[15:14]  ⁷ sn Simeon is a form of the apostle Peter’s Aramaic name. James uses Peter’s “Jewish” name here.

[15:14]  ⁸ tn Or “reported,” “described.”

[15:14]  ⁹ tn BDAG 378 s.v. ἐπισκέπτομαι 3 translates this phrase in Acts 15:14, “God concerned himself about winning a people fr. among the nations.”

[15:14]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “to take,” but in the sense of selecting or choosing (accompanied by the preposition ἐκ [ek] plus a genitive specifying the group selected from) see Heb 5:1; also BDAG 584 s.v. λαμβάνω 6.

[15:14]  ¹¹ sn In the Greek text the expression “from among the Gentiles” is in emphatic position.

[1:75]  ¹² sn The phrases that we…might serve him…in holiness and righteousness from Luke 1:74-75 well summarize a basic goal for a believer in the eyes of Luke. Salvation frees us up to serve God without fear through a life full of ethical integrity.

[1:75]  ¹³ tn Grk “all our days.”
