Zakharia 14:21

14:21 Every cooking pot in Jerusalem and Judah will become holy in the sight of the Lord who rules over all, so that all who offer sacrifices may come and use some of them to boil their sacrifices in them. On that day there will no longer be a Canaanite ¹  in the house of the Lord who rules over all.

Kolose 3:17

3:17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Kolose 3:1

Exhortations to Seek the Things Above

3:1 Therefore, if you have been raised with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

1 Petrus 4:11

4:11 Whoever speaks, let it be with ²  God’s words. ³  Whoever serves, do so with the strength ⁴  that God supplies, so that in everything God will be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong ⁵  the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.

[14:21]  ¹ tn Or “merchant”; “trader” (because Canaanites, especially Phoenicians, were merchants and traders; cf. BDB 489 s.v. I and II כְּנַעֲנִי). English versions have rendered the term as “Canaanite” (KJV, NKJV, NASB, NIV), “trader” (RSV, NEB), “traders” (NRSV, NLT), or “merchant” (NAB), although frequently a note is given explaining the other option. Cf. also John 2:16.

[14:21]  sn This is not to preclude the Canaanite (or anyone else) from worship; the point is that in the messianic age all such ethnic and religious distinctions will be erased and all people will be eligible to worship the Lord.

[4:11]  ² tn Grk “if anyone speaks – as God’s words.”

[4:11]  ³ tn Or “oracles.”

[4:11]  ⁴ tn Grk “if anyone serves – with strength…”

[4:11]  ⁵ tn Grk “is/are.”
