Haggai 2:5

According to the word The words "according to" are wanting in the Hebrew, but are properly supplied in A. V. and R. V. It has been proposed to regard the last clause of ver. 4 as parenthetical, and make the beginning of this verse grammatically dependent on the word "do" in ver. 4. It would then read: "Be strong and do (for I am with you, saith the Lord of Hosts) the word that I covenanted with you," &c. But such a construction is harsh and the meaning elicited unsatisfactory. The first clause of ver. 5 is thrown out in the abrupt forcible style of Haggai, and gives the ground both of the foregoing and of the following assurance. The ancient covenant with their fathers is as it were called up before them as a witness to the truth of the present promises: "I am with you saith the Lord of Hosts (-see," -remember," or -there stands") the word which I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt! and my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not." The student of the Greek Testament will be reminded of a somewhat similar construction in St Peter's address to Cornelius and his company, (τὸν λόγον, κ.τ.λ. Acts 10:36).

so my spirit remaineth Or, and my spirit abode, R. V. Comp. Isaiah 63:11; Zechariah 4:6.
