Luca 1:71

71 Salvazione da’ nostri nemici, E di man di tutti coloro che ci odiano;

Luca 1:71 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 1:71

That we should be saved from our enemies
This, and the two following verses, either contain and express the sum and substance of what God spake by the prophets; or point out the end or ends of his raising up an horn of salvation, or a Saviour for his people; namely, that they should be saved by him from their enemies: from sin, which wars against the soul, and threatens the destruction of it; from Satan, the avowed and implacable adversary of mankind; from the world, the seed of the serpent, which has always bore an enmity to the seed of the woman; from the law, the killing letter; and from death, the last enemy that is to be destroyed;

and from the hand of all that hate us:
which is only an illustration of the former sentence, or a repetition of it in other words; and designs the same as before.

Luca 1:71 In-Context

69 E ci ha rizzato il corno della salvazione Nella casa di Davide, suo servitore,

70 Secondo ch’egli ci avea promesso Per la bocca de’ suoi santi profeti, che sono stati d’ogni secolo;

71 Salvazione da’ nostri nemici, E di man di tutti coloro che ci odiano;

72 Per usar misericordia inverso i nostri padri, E ricordarsi del suo santo patto:

73 Secondo il giuramento fatto ad Abrahamo, nostro padre.
