约翰一书 3章18节 到 3章18节 上一笔 下一笔 |
{In word, neither with the tongue} (log(9369) m(8864)e t(8869) gl(9373)s(8869)). Either instrumental or locative makes sense. What John means is "not merely by word or by the tongue." He does not condemn kind words which are comforting and cheering, but warm words should be accompanied by warm deeds to make real "in deed and in truth" (en erg(9369) kai al(8874)hei(8369)). Here is a case where actions do speak louder than mere words. |
