Kisah Para Rasul 4:12

4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among people ¹  by which we must ²  be saved.”

Kisah Para Rasul 16:31

16:31 They replied, ³  “Believe ⁴  in the Lord Jesus ⁵  and you will be saved, you and your household.”

[4:12]  ¹ tn Here ἀνθρώποις (anqrwpoi") has been translated as a generic noun (“people”).

[4:12]  ² sn Must be saved. The term used here (δεῖ, dei, “it is necessary”) reflects the necessity set up by God’s directive plan.

[16:31]  ³ tn Grk “said.”

[16:31]  ⁴ sn Here the summary term of response is a call to believe. In this context it refers to trusting the sovereign God’s power to deliver, which events had just pictured for the jailer.

[16:31]  ⁵ tc The majority of mss add Χριστόν (Criston, “Christ”) here (C D E Ψ 1739 Ï sy sa), but the best and earliest witnesses read simply τὸν κύριον ᾿Ιησοῦν (ton kurion Ihsoun, “the Lord Jesus”; Ì^74vid א A B 33 81 pc bo). The addition of “Christ” to “Lord Jesus” is an obviously motivated reading. Thus on both external and internal grounds, the shorter reading is strongly preferred.
