Lukas 1:75

75 in Frömmigkeit und Gerechtigkeit vor ihm alle unsere Tage.

Lukas 1:75 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 1:75

In holiness and righteousness
, Not in mere outward rites and legal ceremonies but as the saints serve, from principles of righteousness and true holiness; in which the new man is created, and of which the kingdom of God, or spiritual and internal religion consists; so in acts of piety and devotion towards God, and justice among men, which is the substance of the perfect and acceptable will of God:

before him;
it is one thing to serve the Lord with an outward appearance of holiness and righteousness before men, and another thing to be righteous before God, and to walk in all his commandments and ordinances, as in his sight: all the days of our life; which denotes the constancy and continuance of this service; it is not for a day or two, or only on festivals and sabbath days, such as were under the Jewish dispensation, but every day we live. In the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions, and in two copies of Beza's, and two of Stephens's, and in the Alexandrian copy, it is only read, "all our days"; but the Arabic version reads, as the generality of copies, and as we render it.

Lukas 1:75 In-Context

73 des Eides, den er Abraham, unserem Vater, geschworen hat, um uns zu geben,

74 daß wir, gerettet aus der Hand unserer Feinde, ohne Furcht ihm dienen sollen

75 in Frömmigkeit und Gerechtigkeit vor ihm alle unsere Tage.

76 Und du, Kindlein, wirst ein Prophet des Höchsten genannt werden; denn du wirst vor dem Angesicht des Herrn hergehen, seine Wege zu bereiten,

77 um seinem Volke Erkenntnis des Heils zu geben in Vergebung ihrer Sünden,
