But--so Coptic. But A, B, HIPPOLYTUS, ANDREAS, and CYPRIAN omit.
dogs--Greek, "the dogs"; the impure, filthy (Rev 22:11; compare Phi 3:2).
maketh--including also "whosoever practiceth a lie" [W. KELLY]. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
For without are dogs - The wicked, the depraved, the vile: for of such characters the dogs, an unclean animal among the Jews, was regarded as a symbol, Deu 23:18. On the meaning of the expression, see the notes on Phi 3:2. The word "without" means that they would not be admitted into the heavenly city, the New Jerusalem, Rev 21:8, Rev 21:27.
And sorcerers, ... - All these characters are specified in Rev 21:8, as excluded from heaven. See the notes on that verse. The only change is, that those who "love and make a lie" are added to the list; that is, who delight in lies, or what is false. |
| Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
Dogs (οἱ κύνες)
The A.V. omits the article "the dogs." Compare Phi 3:2. This was the term of reproach with which the Judaizers stigmatized the Gentiles as impure. In the Mosaic law the word is used to denounce the moral profligacies of heathen worship (Deu 23:18). Compare Mat 15:26. Here the word is used of those whose moral impurity excludes them from the New Jerusalem. "As a term of reproach, the word on the lips of a Jew, signified chiefly impurity; of a Greek, impudence. The herds of dogs which prowl about Eastern cities, without a home and without an owner, feeding on the refuse and filth of the streets, quarreling among themselves, and attacking the passer-by, explain both applications of the image" (Lightfoot, on Phi 3:2).
Sorcerers
See on Rev 9:21, and compare Rev 21:8.
Whoremongers (πόρνοι)
Rev., better, fornicators.
Maketh (ποιῶν)
Or doeth. Compare doeth the truth, Joh 3:21; Jo1 1:6. See on Joh 3:21. |
