Kisah Para Rasul 17:31

17:31 because he has set ¹  a day on which he is going to judge the world ²  in righteousness, by a man whom he designated, ³  having provided proof to everyone by raising ⁴  him from the dead.”

Kisah Para Rasul 24:25

24:25 While Paul ⁵  was discussing ⁶  righteousness, self-control, ⁷  and the coming judgment, Felix ⁸  became ⁹  frightened and said, “Go away for now, and when I have an opportunity, ¹⁰  I will send for you.”

[17:31]  ¹ tn Or “fixed.”

[17:31]  ² sn The world refers to the whole inhabited earth.

[17:31]  ³ tn Or “appointed.” BDAG 723 s.v. ὁρίζω 2.b has “of persons appoint, designate, declare: God judges the world ἐν ἀνδρὶ ᾧ ὥρισεν through a man whom he has appointed Ac 17:31.”

[17:31]  sn A man whom he designated. Jesus is put in the position of eschatological judge. As judge of the living and the dead, he possesses divine authority (Acts 10:42).

[17:31]  ⁴ tn The participle ἀναστήσας (anasthsa") indicates means here.

[24:25]  ⁵ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Paul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:25]  ⁶ tn Or “speaking about.”

[24:25]  ⁷ tn Grk “and self-control.” This καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[24:25]  sn The topic of self-control was appropriate in view of the personal history of both Felix and Drusilla (see the note on “Drusilla” in the previous verse), and might well account for Felix’s anxiety.

[24:25]  ⁸ sn See the note on Felix in 23:26.

[24:25]  ⁹ tn Grk “becoming.” The participle γενόμενος (genomenos) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[24:25]  ¹⁰ tn Or “when I find time.” BDAG 639 s.v. μεταλαμβάνω 2 has “καιρὸν μ. have an opportunity = find time…Ac 24:25.”
