(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

With all thy heart (ἐξ ὅλης τῆς καρδίας σου)

Lit., out of thy whole heart. The heart, not only as the seat of the affections, but as the centre of our complex being - physical, moral, spiritual, and intellectual.

Soul (ψυχῆς)

The word is often used in the New Testament in its original meaning of life. See Mat 2:20; Mat 20:28; Act 20:10; Rom 11:3; Joh 10:11. Hence, as an emphatic designation of the man himself. See Mat 12:18; Heb 10:38; Luk 21:19. So that the word denotes “life in the distinctness of individual existence” (Cremer). See further on ψυχικός, spiritual, 1Co 15:44.

Mind (διανοίας)

The faculty of thought: understanding, especially the moral understanding.
