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.”

Yohanes 14:6

14:6 Jesus replied, ³  “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. ⁴  No one comes to the Father except through me.

Efesus 2:12

2:12 that you were at that time without the Messiah, ⁵  alienated from the citizenship of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, ⁶  having no hope and without God in the world.

Yohanes 4:22

4:22 You people ⁷  worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, because salvation is from the Jews. ⁸ 

Yohanes 17:3

17:3 Now this ⁹  is eternal life ¹⁰  – that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, ¹¹  whom you sent.

[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.

[14:6]  ³ tn Grk “Jesus said to him.”

[14:6]  ⁴ tn Or “I am the way, even the truth and the life.”

[2:12]  ⁵ tn Or “without Christ.” Both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.” Because the context refers to ancient Israel’s messianic expectation, “Messiah” was employed in the translation at this point rather than “Christ.”

[2:12]  ⁶ tn Or “covenants of the promise.”

[4:22]  ⁷ tn The word “people” is not in the Greek text, but is supplied to indicate that the Greek verb translated “worship” is second person plural and thus refers to more than the woman alone.

[4:22]  ⁸ tn Or “from the Judeans.” See the note on “Jew” in v. 9.

[17:3]  ⁹ tn Using αὕτη δέ (Jauth de) to introduce an explanation is typical Johannine style; it was used before in John 1:19, 3:19, and 15:12.

[17:3]  ¹⁰ sn This is eternal life. The author here defines eternal life for the readers, although it is worked into the prayer in such a way that many interpreters do not regard it as another of the author’s parenthetical comments. It is not just unending life in the sense of prolonged duration. Rather it is a quality of life, with its quality derived from a relationship with God. Having eternal life is here defined as being in relationship with the Father, the one true God, and Jesus Christ whom the Father sent. Christ (Χριστός, Cristos) is not characteristically attached to Jesus’ name in John’s Gospel; it occurs elsewhere primarily as a title and is used with Jesus’ name only in 1:17. But that is connected to its use here: The statement here in 17:3 enables us to correlate the statement made in 1:18 of the prologue, that Jesus has fully revealed what God is like, with Jesus’ statement in 10:10 that he has come that people might have life, and have it abundantly. These two purposes are really one, according to 17:3, because (abundant) eternal life is defined as knowing (being in relationship with) the Father and the Son. The only way to gain this eternal life, that is, to obtain this knowledge of the Father, is through the Son (cf. 14:6). Although some have pointed to the use of know (γινώσκω, ginwskw) here as evidence of Gnostic influence in the Fourth Gospel, there is a crucial difference: For John this knowledge is not intellectual, but relational. It involves being in relationship.

[17:3]  ¹¹ tn Or “and Jesus the Messiah” (Both Greek “Christ” and Hebrew and Aramaic “Messiah” mean “one who has been anointed”).
