Archibald Thomas Robertson

meaning of that, he says it like this, lest she wear me out.

The literal meaning of that means A.T. Robertson talks about this in word pictures of the New Testament.

He says it's literally that she would give me a black eye.

That word can also mean to annoy or to damage a reputation.

Lord, you know how scared I am.

A.T. Robertson said, this is a common feeling of the most effective preachers.

God, you know, I don't know whether you feel this way, but every single time I'm in a conversation and the chance for the gospel to come up, I get nervous.

I mean, sometimes I can actually feel my voice quaking.

Paradise.

A.T. Robertson is the most renowned Greek scholar to ever live.

He says this word means an enclosed park or pleasure ground.

Here's what's interesting.

And then it's just not been covered.

The only full biography is a life and letters type volume written by A.T. Robertson, who was his greatest student, also his son-in-law.

It came out in 1901.

And so I thought sufficient time had passed to give him a revisit.

And his Matthew commentary that comes out in 1886, that's seen as really the model of a, of a strong evangelical commentary that any scholar would also respect.

Um, by the early 20th century, it's going to be really, really hard to be a confessional Christian, a Southern Baptist and, and, um, and move in the circles of academia in America.

John Broadus and A.T. Robertson are really some of the last who are able to do that.

But when all the toy stuff comes out, yeah, it totally rocks the seminary.

Did Paul show his own concern? Yes.

If Paul, as A.T. Robertson, perhaps the greatest American Greek scholar ever, he's been passed for some years, I have his word picture of the Greek.

He says, if the apostle Paul was concerned about finishing his race of salvation, how much more should you and I be concerned? Amen.

We need to make sure we stay on the straight and narrow.
