Taught of God (
didaktoi qeou). A free quotation from
Isaiah 54:13 with this phrase in the LXX. There is here the ablative case
qeou with the passive verbal adjective
didaktoi (Robertson,
Grammar, p. 516). In
1 Thessalonians 4:9 we have the compound verbal
qeodidaktoi. The same use of
didakto with the ablative occurs in
1 Corinthians 2:13 .
And hath learned (
kai maqwn). Second aorist active participle of
manqanw. It is not enough to hear God's voice. He must heed it and learn it and do it. This is a voluntary response. This one inevitably comes to Christ.
