Kisah Para Rasul 11:23

11:23 When ³  he came and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced and encouraged them all to remain true ⁴  to the Lord with devoted hearts, ⁵ 

Kisah Para Rasul 20:31

20:31 Therefore be alert, ⁶  remembering that night and day for three years I did not stop warning ⁷  each one of you with tears.

Kisah Para Rasul 27:22

27:22 And now I advise ⁸  you to keep up your courage, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only the ship will be lost. ⁹ 

[2:40]  ¹ tn Or “warned.”

[2:40]  ² tn Or “crooked” (in a moral or ethical sense). See Luke 3:5.

[11:23]  ³ tn Grk “Antioch, who when.” The relative pronoun was omitted and a new sentence was begun in the translation at this point to improve the English style, due to the length of the sentence in Greek.

[11:23]  ⁴ tn BDAG 883 s.v. προσμένω 1.a.β has “remain true to the Lord” for προσμένειν (prosmenein) in this verse.

[11:23]  sn He…encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord. The call to faithfulness is frequent in Acts (2:40; 14:22; 15:32; 16:39; 20:1-2).

[11:23]  ⁵ tn Grk “with purpose of heart”; BDAG 869 s.v. πρόθεσις 2.a translates this phrase “purpose of heart, i.e. devotion” here.

[20:31]  ⁶ tn Or “be watchful.”

[20:31]  ⁷ tn Or “admonishing.”

[27:22]  ⁸ tn The same verb is used for Paul’s original recommendation in Ac 27:9.

[27:22]  ⁹ tn Grk “except the ship.” Here “but” is used to translate the improper preposition πλήν (plhn; see BDAG 826 s.v. πλήν 2) since an exception like this, where two different categories of objects are involved (people and a ship), is more naturally expressed in contemporary English with an adversative (“but”). The words “will be lost” are also supplied for clarity.

[27:22]  sn The “prophecy” about the ship serves to underscore Paul’s credibility as an agent of God. Paul addressed his audience carefully and drew attention to the sovereign knowledge of God.
