Lucas 6

Lucas 6

Wuest - Agapao speaks of a love which is awakened by a sense of value in an object which causes one to prize it (Ed: I would propose this "awakening" involves the word of the Holy Spirit on our heart!). It springs from an apprehension of the preciousness of an object. It is a love of esteem and approbation. The quality of this love is determined by the character of the one who loves, and that of the object loved. (Ed: And the supernatural Source from which it flows - Gal 5:22+). Agapao in Luke (he does not use it in Acts) - Lk. 6:27; Lk. 6:32; Lk. 6:35; Lk. 7:5; Lk. 7:42; Lk. 7:47; Lk. 10:27; Lk. 11:43; Lk. 16:13 Enemies (hostile) (2190) echthros from échthos = hatred, enmity; noun = echthra = enmity, hostility) is an adjective which pertains to manifesting hostility or being at enmity with another, where enmity is a deep seated animosity or hatred which may be open or concealed or a "deep-rooted hatred." In the active sense echthros means to be hateful, hostile toward, at enmity with or adversary of someone. In the passive sense echthros pertains to being subjected to hostility, to be hated or to be regarded as an enemy. Echthros is one who has the extreme negative attitude that is the opposite of love and friendship. An enemy is one that is antagonistic to another; especially seeking to injure, overthrow, or confound the opponent. Scripture often uses echthros as a noun describing "the adversary", Satan! Like father like son! Friberg adds echthros is "used of personal enemies, national foes, enemies of God; (1) active hostile, hating (MTt 13.28); substantivally enemy, adversary (Lk 19.27); (2) passive hated, regarded as an enemy (Ro 11.28)" (Borrow the Analytical Lexicon of the Greek New Testament) Echthros -32v - enemies(20), enemy(10), enemy*(1), hostile(1). - Matt. 5:43; Matt. 5:44; Matt. 10:36; Matt. 13:25; Matt. 13:28; Matt. 13:39; Matt. 22:44; Mk. 12:36; Lk. 1:71; Lk. 1:74; Lk. 6:27; Lk. 6:35; Lk. 10:19; Lk. 19:27; Lk. 19:43; Lk. 20:43; Acts 2:35; Acts 13:10; Rom. 5:10; Rom. 11:28; Rom. 12:20; 1 Co. 15:25; 1 Co. 15:26; Gal. 4:16; Phil. 3:18; Col. 1:21; 2 Thess. 3:15; Heb. 1:13; Heb. 10:13; Jas. 4:4; Rev. 11:5; Rev. 11:12 Do (4160)(poieo) means to bring to carry out, to bring about, to accomplish and again Jesus uses the present imperative which emphasizes our need to depend wholly on the Holy Spirit to carry out this paradoxical practice! Notice that even though the Spirit is not mentioned directly in several of these passages, He clearly is implied because Jesus knows that no natural man could possibly carry out the "unnatural" commands He is giving! Poieo uses Luke's Gospel - Lk. 1:25; Lk. 1:49; Lk. 1:51; Lk. 1:68; Lk. 1:72; Lk. 2:27; Lk. 2:48; Lk. 3:4; Lk. 3:8; Lk. 3:9; Lk. 3:10; Lk. 3:11; Lk. 3:12; Lk. 3:14; Lk. 3:19; Lk. 4:23; Lk. 5:6; Lk. 5:29; Lk. 5:33; Lk. 5:34; Lk. 6:2; Lk. 6:3; Lk. 6:10; Lk. 6:11; Lk. 6:23; Lk. 6:26; Lk. 6:27; Lk. 6:31; Lk. 6:33; Lk. 6:43; Lk. 6:46; Lk. 6:47; Lk. 6:49; Lk. 7:8; Lk. 8:8; Lk. 8:21; Lk. 8:39; Lk. 9:10; Lk. 9:15; Lk. 9:33; Lk. 9:43; Lk. 10:25; Lk. 10:28; Lk. 10:37; Lk. 11:40; Lk. 11:42; Lk. 12:4; Lk. 12:17; Lk. 12:18; Lk. 12:33; Lk. 12:43; Lk. 12:47; Lk. 12:48; Lk. 13:9; Lk. 13:22; Lk. 14:12; Lk. 14:13; Lk. 14:16; Lk. 15:19; Lk. 16:3; Lk. 16:4; Lk. 16:8; Lk. 16:9; Lk. 17:9; Lk. 17:10; Lk. 18:7; Lk. 18:8; Lk. 18:18; Lk. 18:41; Lk. 19:18; Lk. 19:46; Lk. 19:48; Lk. 20:2; Lk. 20:8; Lk. 20:13; Lk. 20:15; Lk. 22:19; Lk. 23:22; Lk. 23:31; Lk. 23:34; Good (2570)(kalos) describes that which is inherently excellent or intrinsically good, providing some special or superior benefit. Kalos is good with emphasis on that which is beautiful, handsome, excellent, surpassing, precious, commendable, admirable. Mattoon adds that kalos "means we are to treat them "excellently, honorably, and in such a way that they cannot blame us for doing them wrong." This word also means "to speak well of someone." (Treasures from the Scriptures) Uses of kalos by Luke - Lk. 6:26; Lk. 6:27; Lk. 6:48; Lk. 20:39; Acts 10:33; Acts 25:10; Acts 28:25; Lowell
