Fußnoten
(a)12:9 The word ‘virtus’ can mean power or it can mean virtue; in the Christian context, and in any context referring to God, it really means both. In God, virtue and power are the same; in Christians, our power is in our virtue, and not in worldly power.(Conte)
(b)12:9
Power is made perfect: The strength and power of God more perfectly shines forth in our weakness and infirmity; as the more weak we are of ourselves, the more illustrious is his grace in supporting us, and giving us the victory under all trials and conflicts.(Challoner)
(c)12:13 This last part, ‘forgive me this injury,’ is said sarcastically.(Conte)
(d)12:21 The word immunditia refers to uncleanness, but in this context it is not the ritual uncleanness of the Old Testament, but an uncleanness of heart with respect to sexuality, in other words, lust. The word impudicitia can refer to serious sexual immorality in general, but it often is used to refer to homosexuality. Since the other words in this list refer more generally to sexual immorality, this word must refer to the more specific sin of homosexuality (otherwise the word would be redundant and unnecessary to the sentence). Notice the progression in this list of offenses: first inner sexual sins, then fornication, then a more serious type of fornication, homosexuality.(Conte)
