1. Physical and Limited Sonship Disappears: As the doctrine of Divine fatherhood attains its full spiritual and moral significance in the New Testament, so does the experience and idea of sonship. All traces of physical descent have disappeared. Paul's quotation from a heathen poet: "For we are also...

In the phrase "The Spirit of Yahweh came mightily upon him" (Jg 14:6,19; 15:14; 1Sa 10:10; 11:6; 16:13), the word is tsaleah; Jg 14:6; 15:14 "came mightily," which is the uniform translation of the Revised Version (British and American) (compare J...

And this mea...

pur'-fekt, per-fek'-shun (shalem, tamim; teleios, teleiotes): 1. In the Old Testament: "Perfect" in the Old Testament is the translation of shalem, "finished," "whole," "complete," used (except in De 25:15, "perfect weight") of persons, e.g. a "perfect heart," i.e. wholly or completely devoted t...
