geneva@Romans:8:1 @ [There is] (note:)A conclusion of all the former discussion, from (Rom_1:16) to this verse: seeing that we, being justified by faith in Christ, obtain remission of sins and imputation of righteousness, and are also sanctified, it follows from this that those who are grafted into Christ by faith, need have no fear of condemnation.(:note) therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who The fruits of the Spirit, or effects of sanctification, which are begun in us, do not ingraft us into Christ, but declare that we are grafted into him. walk not after the Do not follow the flesh as their guide: for he is not said to live after the flesh that has the Holy Spirit for his guide, even though he sometimes takes a step off of the path. flesh, but after the Spirit.

geneva@1Corinthians:1:1 @ Paul, (note:)The inscription of the epistle, in which he mainly tries to procure the good will of the Corinthians towards him, yet nonetheless in such a way that he always lets them know that he is the servant of God and not of men.(:note) called [to be] an If he is an apostle, then he must be heard, even though he sometimes sharply reprehends them, seeing he has not his own cause in hand, but is a messenger that brings the commandments of Christ. apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and He has Sosthenes with himself, that this doctrine might be confirmed by two witnesses. Sosthenes [our] brother,

geneva@1Corinthians:6:9 @ Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? (note:)Now he prepares himself to pass over to the fourth treatise of this epistle, which concerns other matters, concerning this matter first, how men may well use a woman or not. And this question has three parts: fornication, matrimony, and a single life. As for fornication, he utterly condemns it. And marriage he commands to some, as a good and necessary remedy for them: to others he leaves is free. And others he dissuades from it, not as unlawful, but as inconvenient, and that not without exception. As for singleness of life (under which also I comprehend virginity) he enjoins it to no man: yet he persuades men to it, but not for itself, but for another respect, neither to all men, nor without exception. And being about to speak against fornication, he begins with a general reprehension of those vices, with which that rich and riotous city most abounded: warning and teaching them earnestly, that repentance is inseparable joined with forgiveness of sins, and sanctification with justification.(:note) Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

geneva@1Corinthians:10:7 @ Neither bee ye idolaters as were some of them, as it is written, The people sate downe to eate and drinke, and rose vp to play.

geneva@1Corinthians:10:8 @ Neither let vs commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and fell in one day three and twentie thousand.

geneva@1Corinthians:10:9 @ Neither let us tempt (note:)To tempt Christ is to provoke him to a combat as it were, which those men do who abuse the knowledge that he has given them, and make it to serve for a cloak for their lusts and wickedness.(:note) Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

geneva@1Corinthians:10:10 @ Neither murmure ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

geneva@2Corinthians:7:10 @ For (note:)God's sorrow occurs when we are not terrified with the fear of punishment, but because we feel we have offended God our most merciful Father. Contrary to this there is another sorrow, that only fears punishment, or when a man is vexed for the loss of some worldly goods. The fruit of the first is repentance, and the fruit of the second is desperation, unless the Lord quickly helps.(:note) godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

geneva@2Corinthians:8:14 @ But by an (note:)That as now in your abundance you help others with a share of your goods, so should others in the same way bestow some of their goods upon you.(:note) equality, [that] now at this time your abundance [may be a supply] for their want, that their abundance also may be [a supply] for your want: that there may be equality:

geneva@2Corinthians:10:8 @ For though I shoulde boast somewhat more of our authoritie, which the Lorde hath giuen vs for edification, and not for your destruction, I should haue no shame.

geneva@2Corinthians:11:9 @ And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all [things] I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, (note:)An amplification: so far is he from being ashamed of this act, that he has also resolved with himself to act in no other way while he is among them, in order that it may always be truly said that he taught in Achaia for nothing. And this is not because he disdains the Corinthians, but rather so that these proud and boastful men may never find the occasion which they have already sought for, and he in the meantime may set something before the Corinthians to follow, so that at length they may truly say that they are like Paul.(:note) and [so] will I keep [myself].

geneva@2Corinthians:11:12 @ But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they (note:)Paul's adversaries sought all occasions they could to be equal to him. And therefore seeing they had rather live off the Corinthians then preach to them for nothing, they sought another occasion, that is, to make Paul take something. And if he had done this, then they hoped by this means to be equal to him. For they made such a show of zeal and knowledge, and set it forth with such a flattering type of eloquence, that some of them even despised Paul. But he shows that all this is nothing but frivolities and pretensions.(:note) glory, they may be found even as we.

geneva@2Corinthians:11:27 @ In weariness and (note:)Painfulness is a troublesome sickness, as when a man who is weary and wants rest is forced to begin new labour.(:note) painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

geneva@2Corinthians:12:9 @ And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. (note:)He concludes that he will only set his miseries against the vain braggings of the false apostles, and with this also excuses himself, because by their troublesome braggings he was forced to speak as much of those things as he did. That is, because if his apostleship were subverted, his doctrine would necessarily fall.(:note) Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may That I might feel the power of Christ more and more: for the weaker that our tabernacles are, the more does Christ's power appear in them. rest upon me.

geneva@2Corinthians:12:13 @ For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except [it be] that I myself was not (note:)I was not slothful with my own hands, so that I might not be burdensome to you.(:note) burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.

geneva@Galatians:2:1 @ Then (note:)Now he shows how he agrees with the apostles, with whom he grants that he conferred concerning his Gospel which he taught among the Gentiles, fourteen years after his conversion. And they permitted it in such a way, that they did not force his companion Titus to be circumcised, although some tormented themselves in this, who traitorously laid wait against him, but in vain. Neither did they add the least amount that might be to the doctrine which he had preached, but rather they gave to him and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, and acknowledged them as apostles appointed by the Lord to the Gentiles.(:note) fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with [me] also.

geneva@Galatians:3:20 @ Now a mediator is not [a mediator] of one, (note:)A taking away of an objection, lest any man might say that sometimes by consent of the parties which have made a covenant, something is added to the covenant, or the former covenants are broken. This, the apostle says, does not come to pass in God, who is always one, and the very same, and like himself.(:note) but God is one.

geneva@Galatians:6:3 @ For if any man seeme to himselfe, that he is somewhat, when he is nothing, hee deceiueth himselfe in his imagination.

geneva@Ephesians:5:8 @ For ye were sometimes darkness, but now [are ye] (note:)The faithful are called light, both because they have the true light in them which enlightens them, and also because they give light to others, insomuch that their honest conversation reproves the life of wicked men.(:note) light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

geneva@Ephesians:6:6 @ Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, (note:)To cut off occasion of all pretences, he teaches us that it is God's will that some are either born or made servants, and therefore they must respect God's will although their service is ever so hard.(:note) doing the will of God from the heart;

And first of all, answering the question for whom we ought to pray, he teaches that we must pray for all men, and especially for every type of magistrate. And this thing was at that time somewhat doubted of, seeing that kings, indeed, and most of the magistrates, were at that time enemies of the Church.(:note) exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks, be made for all men;

The inscription is double, general and particular. In (Rev_1:1) the general inscription contains the kind of prophecy, the author, end, matter, instruments, and manner of communication the same, in (Rev_1:2) the most religious faithfulness of the apostle as public witness and the use of communicating the same, taken from the promise of God, and from the circumstance of the time, (Rev_1:3)(:note)An opening of secret and hidden things. Revelation of Which the Son opened to us out of his Father's bosom by angels. Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified [it] by his angel unto his servant John:[1 AD] The dragon watches the Church of the Jews, which was ready to travail: She brings forth, flees and hides herself, while Christ was yet on the earth. [34 AD] The dragon persecutes Christ ascending to heaven, he fights and is thrown down: and after persecutes the Church of the Jews. [67 AD] The Church of the Jews is received into the wilderness for three years and a half. [70 AD] When the Church of the Jews was overthrown, the dragon invaded the catholic church: all this is in the twelfth chapter. The dragon is bound for a thousand years in chapter twenty. The dragon raises up the beast with seven heads, and the beast with two heads, which make havock of the catholic church and her prophets for 1260 years after the passion of Christ in (Rev_13:11). [97 AD] The seven churches are admonished of things present, somewhat before the end of Domitian his reign, and are forewarned of the persecution to come under Trajan for ten years, chapter 2,3. God by word and signs provokes the world, and seals the godly in chapter 6 and 7. He shows examples of his wrath on all creatures, mankind excepted in chapter 8. [1073 AD] The dragon is let loose after a thousand years, and Gregory the seventh, being Pope, rages against Henry the third, then Emperor in chapter 20. [1217 AD] The dragon vexes the world for 150 years to Gregory the ninth, who wrote the Decretals, and most cruelly persecuted the Emperor Fredrick the second. [1295 AD] The dragon kills the prophets after 1260 years, when Boniface the eighth was Pope, who was the author of the sixth book of the Decretals: he excommunicated Philip the French King. [1300 AD] Boniface celebrates the Jubile. [1301 AD] About this time was a great earthquake, which overthrew many houses in Rome. [1305 AD] Prophecy ceases for three years and a half, until Benedict the second succeeded after Boniface the eighth. Prophecy is revived in chapter 11. The dragon and the two beasts question prophecy in chapter 13. Christ defends his Church in word and deed, chapter 14, and with threats and arms, chapter 16. Christ gives his Church victory over the harlot, chapter 17 and 18. Over the two beasts, chapter 19. Over the dragon and death, chapter 20. The Church is fully glorified in heaven with eternal glory, in Christ Jesus, chapter 21 and 22.
