Kisah Para Rasul 2:25

2:25 For David says about him,

‘I saw the Lord always in front of me, ¹ 

for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken.

Kisah Para Rasul 4:17

4:17 But to keep this matter from spreading any further among the people, let us warn them to speak no more ²  to anyone in this name.”

Kisah Para Rasul 6:2

6:2 So the twelve ³  called ⁴  the whole group ⁵  of the disciples together and said, “It is not right for us to neglect the word of God to wait on tables. ⁶ 

Kisah Para Rasul 13:10

13:10 and said, “You who are full of all deceit and all wrongdoing, ⁷  you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness – will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord? ⁸ 

Kisah Para Rasul 15:24

15:24 Since we have heard that some have gone out from among us with no orders from us and have confused ⁹  you, upsetting ¹⁰  your minds ¹¹  by what they said, ¹² 

Kisah Para Rasul 17:29

17:29 So since we are God’s offspring, we should not think the deity ¹³  is like gold or silver or stone, an image ¹⁴  made by human ¹⁵  skill ¹⁶  and imagination. ¹⁷ 

[2:25]  ¹ tn Or “always before me.”

[4:17]  ² tn Or “speak no longer.”

[6:2]  ³ sn The twelve refers to the twelve apostles.

[6:2]  ⁴ tn Grk “calling the whole group…together, said.” The participle προσκαλεσάμενοι (proskalesamenoi) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[6:2]  ⁵ tn Or “the multitude.”

[6:2]  ⁶ tn Grk “to serve tables.”

[13:10]  ⁷ tn Or “unscrupulousness.”

[13:10]  ⁸ sn “You who…paths of the Lord?” This rebuke is like ones from the OT prophets: Jer 5:27; Gen 32:11; Prov 10:7; Hos 14:9. Five separate remarks indicate the magician’s failings. The closing rhetorical question of v. 10 (“will you not stop…?”) shows how opposed he is to the way of God.

[15:24]  ⁹ tn Here BDAG 990-91 s.v. ταράσσω 2 states, “Of mental confusion caused by false teachings ταρ. τινά Ac 15:24 (w. λόγοις foll.).”

[15:24]  ¹⁰ tn BDAG 71 s.v. ἀνασκευάζω describes this verb with a figurative meaning: “to cause inward distress, upset, unsettle.”

[15:24]  ¹¹ tn Grk “souls.”

[15:24]  ¹² tn Grk “by words”; L&N 25.231 translates the phrase “they troubled and upset you by what they said.”

[17:29]  ¹³ tn Or “the divine being.” BDAG 446 s.v. θεῖος 1.b has “divine being, divinity” here.

[17:29]  ¹⁴ tn Or “a likeness.” Again idolatry is directly attacked as an affront to God and a devaluation of him.

[17:29]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “by the skill and imagination of man,” but ἀνθρώπου (anqrwpou) has been translated as an attributive genitive.

[17:29]  ¹⁶ tn Or “craftsmanship” (cf. BDAG 1001 s.v. τέχνη).

[17:29]  ¹⁷ tn Or “thought.” BDAG 336 s.v. ἐνθύμησις has “thought, reflection, idea” as the category of meaning here, but in terms of creativity (as in the context) the imaginative faculty is in view.
