10:34Then Peter started speaking:90 “I now truly understand that God does not show favoritism in dealing with people,9110:35but in every nation92 the person who fears him93 and does what is right94 is welcomed before him.
Footnotes
- 90 Grk “Opening his mouth Peter said” (a Semitic idiom for beginning to speak in a somewhat formal manner). The participle ἀνοίξας (anoixas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
- 91 Grk “God is not one who is a respecter of persons,” that is, “God is not one to show partiality” (cf. προσωπολήμπτης). L&N 88.239 translates this verse “I realize that God does not show favoritism (in dealing with people).” The underlying Hebrew idiom includes the personal element (“respecter of persons”) so the phrase “in dealing with people” is included in the present translation. It fits very well with the following context and serves to emphasize the relational component of God’s lack of partiality. The latter is a major theme in the NT: Rom 2:11; Eph 2:11–22; Col 3:25; Jas 2:1; 1 Pet 1:17. This was the lesson of Peter’s vision.
- 93 Or “shows reverence for him.”
- 94 Grk “works righteousness”; the translation “does what is right” for this phrase in this verse is given by L&N 25.85. Note how faith and response are linked here by the phrase and does what is right.
Cross references
- 92 See Luke 24:47.
