| Luke 1:73 | *The oath which he swore to Abraham, our father, that he would grant to us: Genesis 22:16.; Jeremias 31:33.; Hebrews 6:13.; Hebrews 6:17. | \f + \fr 1:73-74\ft According to the oath which he swore.{ Ver. 73. Jusjurandum quod juravit, orkon on in the accusative case, for kat orkon, secundum juramentum. Ibid. daturum se nobis, that is se effecturum, etc. tou dounai emin, etc.|} The words according to, are no addition to the letter of the text: they only barely express what is here signified; to wit, that God swore to Abraham, that he would grant us, or make it come to pass, that being delivered from our enemies, sin and the devil, we should be in a condition to serve him without fear, in holiness, etc. (Witham) |
