Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
Philadelphia--in Lydia, twenty-eight miles southeast of Sardis, built by Attalus Philadelphus, king of Pergamos, who died A.D. 138. It was nearly destroyed by an earthquake in the reign of Tiberius [TACITUS, Annals, 2.47]. The connection of this Church with Jews there causes the address to it to have an Old Testament coloring in the images employed. It and Smyrna alone of the seven receive unmixed praise.
he that is holy--as in the Old Testament, "the Holy One of Israel." Thus Jesus and the God of the Old Testament are one. None but God is absolutely holy (Greek, "hagios," separate from evil and perfectly hating it). In contrast to "the synagogue of Satan" (Rev 3:9).
true--Greek, "alethinos": "VERY God," as distinguished from the false gods and from all those who say that they are what they are not (Rev 3:9): real, genuine. Furthermore, He perfectly realizes all that is involved in the names, GOD, Light (Joh 1:9; Jo1 2:8), Bread (Joh 6:32), the Vine (Joh 15:1); as distinguished from all typical, partial, and imperfect realizations of the idea. His nature answers to His name (Joh 17:3; Th1 1:9). The Greek, "alethes," on the other hand, is "truth-speaking," "truth-loving" (Joh 3:33; Tit 1:2).
he that hath the key of David--the antitype of Eliakim, to whom the "key," the emblem of authority "over the house of David," was transferred from Shebna, who was removed from the office of chamberlain or treasurer, as unworthy of it. Christ, the Heir of the throne of David, shall supplant all the less worthy stewards who have abused their trust in God's spiritual house, and "shall reign over the house of Jacob," literal and spiritual (Luk 1:32-33), "for ever," "as a Son over His own house" (Heb 3:2-6). It rests with Christ to open or shut the heavenly palace, deciding who is, and who is not, to be admitted: as He also opens, or shuts, the prison, having the keys of hell (the grave) and death (Rev 1:18). The power of the keys was given to Peter and the other apostles, only when, and in so far as, Christ made him and them infallible. Whatever degrees of this power may have been committed to ministers, the supreme power belongs to Christ alone. Thus Peter rightly opened the Gospel door to the Gentiles (Acts 10:1-48; Act 11:17-18; especially Act 14:27, end). But he wrongly tried to shut the door in part again (Gal 2:11-18). Eliakim had "the key of the house of David laid upon his shoulder": Christ, as the antitypical David, Himself has the key of the supreme "government upon His shoulder." His attribute here, as in the former addresses, accords with His promise. Though "the synagogue of Satan," false "Jews" (Rev 3:9) try to "shut" the "door" which I "set open before thee"; "no man can shut it" (Rev 3:8).
shutteth--So Vulgate and Syriac Versions read. But the four oldest manuscripts read, "shall shut"; so Coptic Version and ORIGEN.
and no man openeth--Two oldest manuscripts, B, Aleph, Coptic Version, and ORIGEN read, "shall open." Two oldest manuscripts, A, C, and Vulgate Version support English Version reading. |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia - See the notes on Rev 1:20.
These things saith he that is holy - This refers undoubtedly to the Lord Jesus. The appellation holy, or the holy one, is one that befits him, and is not infrequently given to him in the New Testament, Luk 1:35; Act 2:27; Act 3:14. It is not only an appellation appropriate to the Saviour, but well adapted to be employed when he is addressing the churches. Our impression of what is said to us will often depend much on our idea of the character of him who addresses us, and solemnity and thoughtfulness always become us when we are addressed by a holy Redeemer.
He that is true - Another characteristic of the Saviour well suited to be referred to when he addresses people. It is a characteristic often ascribed to him in the New Testament (Joh 1:9, Joh 1:14, Joh 1:17; Joh 8:40, Joh 8:45; Joh 14:6; Joh 18:37; Jo1 5:20), and one which is eminently adapted to impress the mind with solemn thought in view of the fact that he is to pronounce on our character, and to determine our destiny.
He that hath the key of David - This expression is manifestly taken from Isa 22:22, "And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder." See the passage explained in the notes on that place. As used by Isaiah, the phrase is applied to Eliakim; and it is not to be inferred, because the language here is applied to the Lord Jesus, that originally it had any such reference. "The application of the same terms," says Prof. Alexander on Isa 22:22, "to Peter Mat 16:19, and to Christ himself Rev 3:7, does not prove that they here refer to either, or that Eliakim was a type of Christ, but merely that the same words admit of different applications." The language is what properly denotes authority or control - as when one has the key of a house, and has unlimited access to it; and the meaning here is, that as David is represented as the king of Israel residing in a palace, so he who had the key to that palace had regal authority.
He that openeth, and no man shutteth, ... - He has free and unrestrained access to the house; the power of admitting anyone, or of excluding anyone. Applied here to the Saviour, as king in Zion, this means that in his kingdom he has the absolute control in regard to tire admission or exclusion of anyone. He can prescribe the terms; he can invite whom he chooses; he can exclude those whom he judges should not be admitted. A reference to this absolute control was every way proper when he was addressing a church, and is every way proper for us to reflect on when we think of the subject of our personal salvation. |

Philadelphia
Seventy-five miles southeast of Sardis. The second city in Lydia. The adjacent region was celebrated as a wine-growing district, and its coins bore the head of Bacchus and the figure of a Bacchante. The population included Jews, Jewish Christians, and converts from heathenism. It suffered from frequent earthquakes. Of all the seven churches it had the longest duration of prosperity as a Christian city. It still exists as a Turkish town under the name of Allah Shehr, City of God. The situation is picturesque, the town being built on four or five hills, and well supplied with trees, and the climate is healthful. One of the mosques is believed by the native Christians to have been the gathering-place of the church addressed in Revelation. "One solitary pillar of high antiquity has been often noticed as reminding beholders of the words in Rev 3:12 : 'Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God.'"
He that is holy (ὁ ἅγιος)
See on Act 26:10. Christ is called holy, Act 2:27; Act 13:35; Heb 7:26; in all which passages the word, however, is ὅσιος, which is holy by sanction, applied to one who diligently observes all the sanctities of religion. It is appropriate to Christ, therefore, as being the one in whom these eternal sanctities are grounded and reside. Ἅγιος, the word used here, refers rather to separation from evil.
He that is true (ὁ ἀληθινὸς)
See on Joh 1:9. Αληθινὸς is not merely, genuine as contrasted with the absolutely false, but as contrasted with that which is only subordinately or typically true. It expresses the perfect realization of an idea as contrasted with its partial realization. Thus, Moses gave bread, but the Father giveth the true bread (τὸν ἄρτον τὸν ἀληθινόν). Israel was a vine of God's planting (Psa 80:8), Christ is the true (ἡ ἀληθινὴ) vine (Joh 15:1). The word is so characteristic of John that, while found only once in the Synoptic Gospels, once in a Pauline Epistle, and four times in the Epistle to the Hebrews, it occurs nine times in the fourth Gospel, four times in John's First Epistle, and ten times in Revelation, and in every instance in these three latter books in its own distinctive signification.
The key of David
See on Rev 1:18, and compare Isa 22:22. David is the type of Christ, the supreme ruler of the kingdom of heaven. See Jer 30:9; Eze 34:23; Eze 37:24. The house of David is the typical designation of the kingdom of Jesus Christ (Psa 122:5). The holding of the keys, the symbols of power, thus belongs to Christ as Lord of the kingdom and Church of God. See on Mat 16:19 : He admits and excludes at His pleasure.
No man shutteth (οὐδεὶς κλείει)
Read κλείσει shall shut So Rev. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
The holy one, the true one - Two great and glorious names He that hath the key of David - A master of a family, or a prince, has one or more keys, wherewith he can open and shut all the doors of his house or palace. So had David a key, a token of right and sovereignty, which was afterward adjudged to Eliakim, Isa 22:22. Much more has Christ, the Son of David, the key of the spiritual city of David, the New Jerusalem; the supreme right, power, and authority, as in his own house. He openeth this to all that overcome, and none shutteth: he shutteth it against all the fearful, and none openeth. Likewise when he openeth a door on earth for his works or his servants, none can shut; and when he shutteth against whatever would hurt or defile, none can open. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
He that is holy - In whom holiness essentially dwells, and from whom all holiness is derived.
He that is true - He who is the fountain of truth; who cannot lie nor be imposed on; from whom all truth proceeds; and whose veracity in his Revelation is unimpeachable.
He that hath the key of David - See this metaphor explained, Mat 16:19. Key is the emblem of authority and knowledge; the key of David is the regal right or authority of David. David could shut or open the kingdom of Israel to whom he pleased. He was not bound to leave the kingdom even to his eldest son. He could choose whom he pleased to succeed him. The kingdom of the Gospel, and the kingdom of heaven, are at the disposal of Christ. He can shut against whom he will; he can open to whom he pleases. If he shuts, no man can open; if he opens, no man can shut. His determinations all stand fast, and none can reverse them. This expression is an allusion to Isa 22:22, where the prophet promises to Eliakim, under the symbol of the key of the house of David, the government of the whole nation; i.e., all the power of the king, to be executed by him as his deputy; but the words, as here applied to Christ, show that He is absolute. |
8 I know [1492] thy [4675] works [2041]: behold [2400], I have set [1325] before [1799] thee [4675] an open [455] door [2374], and [2532] no man [3762] can [1410] shut [2808] it [846]: for [3754] thou hast [2192] a little [3398] strength [1411], and [2532] hast kept [5083] my [3450] word [3056], and [2532] hast [720] not [3756] denied [720] my [3450] name [3686].
9 Behold [2400], I will make [1325] them of [1537] the synagogue [4864] of Satan [4567], which [3588] say [3004] they [1438] are [1511] Jews [2453], and [2532] are [1526] not [3756], but [235] do lie [5574]; behold [2400], I will make [4160] them [846] to [2443] come [2240] and [2532] worship [4352] before [1799] thy [4675] feet [4228], and [2532] to know [1097] that [3754] I [1473] have loved [25] thee [4571].
11 But [1161] when [3753] Peter [4074] was come [2064] to [1519] Antioch [490], I withstood [436] him [846] to [2596] the face [4383], because [3754] he was [2258] to be blamed [2607].
12 For [1063] before [4253] that certain [5100] came [2064] from [575] James [2385], he did eat [4906] with [3326] the Gentiles [1484]: but [1161] when [3753] they were come [2064], he withdrew [5288] and [2532] separated [873] himself [1438], fearing [5399] them which were of [1537] the circumcision [4061].
13 And [2532] the other [3062] Jews [2453] dissembled [4942] likewise [2532] with him [846]; insomuch [5620] that Barnabas [921] also [2532] was carried away [4879] with their [846] dissimulation [5272].
14 But [235] when [3753] I saw [1492] that [3754] they walked [3716] not [3756] uprightly [3716] according to [4314] the truth [225] of the gospel [2098], I said [2036] unto Peter [4074] before [1715] them all [3956], If [1487] thou [4771], being [5225] a Jew [2453], livest [2198] after the manner of Gentiles [1483], and [2532] not [3756] as do the Jews [2452], why [5101] compellest thou [315] the Gentiles [1484] to live as do the Jews [2450]?
15 We [2249] who are Jews [2453] by nature [5449], and [2532] not [3756] sinners [268] of [1537] the Gentiles [1484],
16 Knowing [1492] that [3754] a man [444] is [1344] not [3756] justified [1344] by [1537] the works [2041] of the law [3551], but [3362] by [1223] the faith [4102] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], even [2532] we [2249] have believed [4100] in [1519] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], that [2443] we might be justified [1344] by [1537] the faith [4102] of Christ [5547], and [2532] not [3756] by [1537] the works [2041] of the law [3551]: for [1360] by [1537] the works [2041] of the law [3551] shall [1344] no [3756] [3956] flesh [4561] be justified [1344].
17 But [1161] if [1487], while we seek [2212] to be justified [1344] by [1722] Christ [5547], we [2147] ourselves [846] also [2532] are found [2147] sinners [268], is therefore [687] Christ [5547] the minister [1249] of sin [266]? God forbid [3361] [1096].
18 For [1063] if [1487] I build [3618] again [3825] the things [5023] which [3739] I destroyed [2647], I make [4921] myself [1683] a transgressor [3848].
27 And [1161] when they were come [3854], and [2532] had gathered [4863] the church [1577] together [4863], they rehearsed [312] all [3745] that God [2316] had done [4160] with [3326] them [846], and [2532] how [3754] he had opened [455] the door [2374] of faith [4102] unto the Gentiles [1484].
17 Forasmuch [1487] then [3767] as [5613] God [2316] gave [1325] them [846] the like [2470] gift [1431] as [2532] he did unto us [2254], who believed [4100] on [1909] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]; [1161] what [5101] was [2252] I [1473], that I could [1415] withstand [2967] God [2316]?
18 When [1161] they heard [191] these things [5023], they held their peace [2270], and [2532] glorified [1392] God [2316], saying [3004], Then [686] hath [1325] God [2316] also [2534] to the Gentiles [1484] granted [1325] repentance [3341] unto [1519] life [2222].
18 [2532] I am he that liveth [2198], and [2532] was [1096] dead [3498]; and [2532], behold [2400], I am [1510] alive [2198] for [1519] evermore [165] [165], Amen [281]; and [2532] have [2192] the keys [2807] of hell [86] and [2532] of death [2288].
2 Who was [5607] faithful [4103] to him that appointed [4160] him [846], as [5613] also [2532] Moses [3475] was faithful in [1722] all [3650] his [846] house [3624].
3 For [1063] this [3778] man was counted worthy [515] of more [4119] glory [1391] than [3844] Moses [3475], inasmuch as [2596] [3745] he who hath builded [2680] the house [3624] hath more [4119] honour [5092] than [2192] the house [846].
4 For [1063] every [3956] house [3624] is builded [2680] by [5259] some [5100] man; but [1161] he that built [2680] all things [3956] is God [2316].
5 And [2532] Moses [3475] verily [3303] was faithful [4103] in [1722] all [3650] his [846] house [3624], as [5613] a servant [2324], for [1519] a testimony [3142] of those things which were to be spoken after [2980];
6 But [1161] Christ [5547] as [5613] a son [5207] over [1909] his own [846] house [3624]; whose [3739] house [3624] are [2070] we [2249], if [1437] [4007] we hold fast [2722] the confidence [3954] and [2532] the rejoicing [2745] of the hope [1680] firm [949] unto [3360] the end [5056].
32 He [3778] shall be [2071] great [3173], and [2532] shall be called [2564] the Son [5207] of the Highest [5310]: and [2532] the Lord [2962] God [2316] shall give [1325] unto him [846] the throne [2362] of his [846] father [3962] David [1138]:
33 And [2532] he shall reign [936] over [1909] the house [3624] of Jacob [2384] for [1519] ever [165]; and [2532] of his [846] kingdom [932] there shall be [2071] no [3756] end [5056].
2 In [1909] hope [1680] of eternal [166] life [2222], which [3739] God [2316], that cannot lie [893], promised [1861] before [4253] the world [166] began [5550];
33 He that hath received [2983] his [846] testimony [3141] hath set to his seal [4972] that [3754] God [2316] is [2076] true [227].
9 For [1063] they [518] themselves [846] shew [518] of [4012] us [2257] what manner [3697] of entering in [1529] we had [2192] [2192] unto [4314] you [5209], and [2532] how [4459] ye turned [1994] to [4314] God [2316] from [575] idols [1497] to serve [1398] the living [2198] and [2532] true [228] God [2316];
3 And [1161] this [3778] is [2076] life [2222] eternal [166], that [2443] they might know [1097] thee [4571] the only [3441] true [228] God [2316], and [2532] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], whom [3739] thou hast sent [649].
1 I [1473] am [1510] the true [228] vine [288], and [2532] my [3450] Father [3962] is [2076] the husbandman [1092].
32 Then [3767] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], Moses [3475] gave [1325] you [5213] not [3756] that bread [740] from [1537] heaven [3772]; but [235] my [3450] Father [3962] giveth [1325] you [5213] the true [228] bread [740] from [1537] heaven [3772].
8 Again [3825], a new [2537] commandment [1785] I write [1125] unto you [5213], which thing [3739] is [2076] true [227] in [1722] him [846] and [2532] in [1722] you [5213]: because [3754] the darkness [4653] is past [3855], and [2532] the true [228] light [5457] now [2235] shineth [5316].
9 That was [2258] the true [228] Light [5457], which [3739] lighteth [5461] every man [3956] [444] that cometh [2064] into [1519] the world [2889].
9 Behold [2400], I will make [1325] them of [1537] the synagogue [4864] of Satan [4567], which [3588] say [3004] they [1438] are [1511] Jews [2453], and [2532] are [1526] not [3756], but [235] do lie [5574]; behold [2400], I will make [4160] them [846] to [2443] come [2240] and [2532] worship [4352] before [1799] thy [4675] feet [4228], and [2532] to know [1097] that [3754] I [1473] have loved [25] thee [4571].
9 Behold [2400], I will make [1325] them of [1537] the synagogue [4864] of Satan [4567], which [3588] say [3004] they [1438] are [1511] Jews [2453], and [2532] are [1526] not [3756], but [235] do lie [5574]; behold [2400], I will make [4160] them [846] to [2443] come [2240] and [2532] worship [4352] before [1799] thy [4675] feet [4228], and [2532] to know [1097] that [3754] I [1473] have loved [25] thee [4571].
7 And [2532] to the angel [32] of the church [1577] in [1722] Philadelphia [5359] write [1125]; These things [3592] saith [3004] he that is holy [40], he that is true [228], he that hath [2192] the key [2807] of David [1138], he that openeth [455], and [2532] no man [3762] shutteth [2808]; and [2532] shutteth [2808], and [2532] no man [3762] openeth [455];
19 And [2532] I will give [1325] unto thee [4671] the keys [2807] of the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772]: and [2532] whatsoever [3739] [1437] thou shalt bind [1210] on [1909] earth [1093] shall be [2071] bound [1210] in [1722] heaven [3772]: and [2532] whatsoever [3739] [1437] thou shalt loose [3089] on [1909] earth [1093] shall be [2071] loosed [3089] in [1722] heaven [3772].
22 And the key [04668] of the house [01004] of David [01732] will I lay [05414] upon his shoulder [07926]; so he shall open [06605], and none shall shut [05462]; and he shall shut [05462], and none shall open [06605].
22 And the key [04668] of the house [01004] of David [01732] will I lay [05414] upon his shoulder [07926]; so he shall open [06605], and none shall shut [05462]; and he shall shut [05462], and none shall open [06605].
20 And [1161] we know [1492] that [3754] the Son [5207] of God [2316] is come [2240], and [2532] hath given [1325] us [2254] an understanding [1271], that [2443] we may know [1097] him that is true [228], and [2532] we are [2070] in [1722] him that is true [228], even in [1722] his [846] Son [5207] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. This [3778] is [2076] the true [228] God [2316], and [2532] eternal [166] life [2222].
37 Pilate [4091] therefore [3767] said [2036] unto him [846], Art [1488] thou [4771] a king [935] then [3766]? Jesus [2424] answered [611], Thou [4771] sayest [3004] that [3754] I [1473] am [1510] a king [935]. To [1519] this [5124] end was [1080] I [1473] born [1080], and [2532] for [1519] this [5124] cause came I [2064] into [1519] the world [2889], that [2443] I should bear witness [3140] unto the truth [225]. Every one [3956] that is [5607] of [1537] the truth [225] heareth [191] my [3450] voice [5456].
6 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto him [846], I [1473] am [1510] the way [3598], [2532] the truth [225], and [2532] the life [2222]: no man [3762] cometh [2064] unto [4314] the Father [3962], but [1508] by [1223] me [1700].
45 And [1161] because [3754] I [1473] tell [3004] you the truth [225], ye believe [4100] me [3427] not [3756].
40 But [1161] now [3568] ye seek [2212] to kill [615] me [3165], a man [444] that [3739] hath told [2980] you [5213] the truth [225], which [3739] I have heard [191] of [3844] God [2316]: this [5124] did [4160] not [3756] Abraham [11].
17 For [3754] the law [3551] was given [1325] by [1223] Moses [3475], but grace [5485] and [2532] truth [225] came [1096] by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
14 And [2532] the Word [3056] was made [1096] flesh [4561], and [2532] dwelt [4637] among [1722] us [2254], (and [2532] we beheld [2300] his [846] glory [1391], the glory [1391] as [5613] of the only begotten [3439] of [3844] the Father [3962],) full [4134] of grace [5485] and [2532] truth [225].
9 That was [2258] the true [228] Light [5457], which [3739] lighteth [5461] every man [3956] [444] that cometh [2064] into [1519] the world [2889].
14 But [1161] ye [5210] denied [720] the Holy One [40] and [2532] the Just [1342], and [2532] desired [154] a murderer [5406] [435] to be granted [5483] unto you [5213];
27 Because [3754] thou wilt [1459] not [3756] leave [1459] my [3450] soul [5590] in [1519] hell [86], neither [3761] wilt thou suffer [1325] thine [4675] Holy One [3741] to see [1492] corruption [1312].
35 And [2532] the angel [32] answered [611] and said [2036] unto her [846], The Holy [40] Ghost [4151] shall come [1904] upon [1909] thee [4571], and [2532] the power [1411] of the Highest [5310] shall overshadow [1982] thee [4671]: therefore [1352] also [2532] that holy thing [40] which shall be born [1080] of [1537] thee [4675] shall be called [2564] the Son [5207] of God [2316].
20 The mystery [3466] of the seven [2033] stars [792] which [3739] thou sawest [1492] in [1909] my [3450] right hand [1188], and [2532] the seven [2033] golden [5552] candlesticks [3087]. The seven [2033] stars [792] are [1526] the angels [32] of the seven [2033] churches [1577]: and [2532] the seven [2033] candlesticks [3087] which [3739] thou sawest [1492] are [1526] the seven [2033] churches [1577].
4 Being made [1096] so much [5118] better than [2909] the angels [32], as [3745] he hath by inheritance obtained [2816] a more excellent [1313] name [3686] than [3844] they [846].
19 And [2532] I will give [1325] unto thee [4671] the keys [2807] of the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772]: and [2532] whatsoever [3739] [1437] thou shalt bind [1210] on [1909] earth [1093] shall be [2071] bound [1210] in [1722] heaven [3772]: and [2532] whatsoever [3739] [1437] thou shalt loose [3089] on [1909] earth [1093] shall be [2071] loosed [3089] in [1722] heaven [3772].
5 For there are set [03427] thrones [03678] of judgment [04941], the thrones [03678] of the house [01004] of David [01732].
24 And David [01732] my servant [05650] shall be king [04428] over them; and they all shall have one [0259] shepherd [07462]: they shall also walk [03212] in my judgments [04941], and observe [08104] my statutes [02708], and do [06213] them.
23 And I will set up [06965] one [0259] shepherd [07462] over them, and he shall feed [07462] them, even my servant [05650] David [01732]; he shall feed [07462] them, and he shall be their shepherd [07462].
9 But they shall serve [05647] the LORD [03068] their God [0430], and David [01732] their king [04428], whom I will raise up [06965] unto them.
22 And the key [04668] of the house [01004] of David [01732] will I lay [05414] upon his shoulder [07926]; so he shall open [06605], and none shall shut [05462]; and he shall shut [05462], and none shall open [06605].
18 [2532] I am he that liveth [2198], and [2532] was [1096] dead [3498]; and [2532], behold [2400], I am [1510] alive [2198] for [1519] evermore [165] [165], Amen [281]; and [2532] have [2192] the keys [2807] of hell [86] and [2532] of death [2288].
1 I [1473] am [1510] the true [228] vine [288], and [2532] my [3450] Father [3962] is [2076] the husbandman [1092].
8 Thou hast brought [05265] a vine [01612] out of Egypt [04714]: thou hast cast out [01644] the heathen [01471], and planted [05193] it.
9 That was [2258] the true [228] Light [5457], which [3739] lighteth [5461] every man [3956] [444] that cometh [2064] into [1519] the world [2889].
26 For [1063] such [5108] an high priest [749] became [4241] us [2254], who is holy [3741], harmless [172], undefiled [283], separate [5563] from [575] sinners [268], and [2532] made [1096] higher than [5308] the heavens [3772];
35 Wherefore [1352] he saith [3004] also [2532] in [1722] another [2087] psalm, Thou shalt [1325] not [3756] suffer [1325] thine [4675] Holy One [3741] to see [1492] corruption [1312].
27 Because [3754] thou wilt [1459] not [3756] leave [1459] my [3450] soul [5590] in [1519] hell [86], neither [3761] wilt thou suffer [1325] thine [4675] Holy One [3741] to see [1492] corruption [1312].
10 Which thing [3739] I [4160] also [2532] did [4160] in [1722] Jerusalem [2414]: and [2532] many [4183] of the saints [40] did [2623] I [1473] shut up [2623] in prison [5438], having received [2983] authority [1849] from [3844] the chief priests [749]; and [5037] when they [846] were put to death [337], I gave [2702] my voice [5586] against them.
12 Him [846] that overcometh [3528] will I make [4160] a pillar [4769] in [1722] the temple [3485] of my [3450] God [2316], and [2532] he shall go [1831] no [3364] more [2089] out [1854]: and [2532] I will write [1125] upon [1909] him [846] the name [3686] of my [3450] God [2316], and [2532] the name [3686] of the city [4172] of my [3450] God [2316], which is [3588] new [2537] Jerusalem [2419], which [3588] cometh down [2597] [2597] out of [1537] heaven [3772] from [575] my [3450] God [2316]: and [2532] I will write upon him my [3450] new [2537] name [3686].
22 And the key [04668] of the house [01004] of David [01732] will I lay [05414] upon his shoulder [07926]; so he shall open [06605], and none shall shut [05462]; and he shall shut [05462], and none shall open [06605].
22 And the key [04668] of the house [01004] of David [01732] will I lay [05414] upon his shoulder [07926]; so he shall open [06605], and none shall shut [05462]; and he shall shut [05462], and none shall open [06605].
19 And [2532] I will give [1325] unto thee [4671] the keys [2807] of the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772]: and [2532] whatsoever [3739] [1437] thou shalt bind [1210] on [1909] earth [1093] shall be [2071] bound [1210] in [1722] heaven [3772]: and [2532] whatsoever [3739] [1437] thou shalt loose [3089] on [1909] earth [1093] shall be [2071] loosed [3089] in [1722] heaven [3772].
