Dr. Wuest on page 139, and Drs. 2:21  “For they all seek after their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus.”. Obviously not! Is this saying that Christ is all people and things, similar to pantheism, and that He is in all things?

Walvoord and Zuck, on page 310, state that it refers to “those leaders who cared not for the spiritual good of the people but only for themselves.”. Even he said he didn’t in Gal.

Walvoord and Zuck, on page 94, state, “Those who respond are to be taught the truths Jesus had specifically communicated to the Eleven.” The “all” doesn’t apply to personal commands for unique situations that were only to be for His disciples at that time (as in the above passages listed).

Jamieson, Faussett, and Brown, page 1518; and Dr. Vincent, page 338 of Vol. As Dr. Hodge, on page 138, states, God “works all these effects (of the spiritual gifts exercised upon or to people) in the minds of men.”.

Again, “all” doesn’t refer to every single person in the world, but to people from “all kinds of” or “categories of” groups “without distinction of rank, race, or nationality” – Dr. Hendriksen, page 95. So “all”, at most here, means all things consistent with God’s nature/attributes (like obtaining salvation for mankind, which is impossible for man to obtain on his own). 4:5). 14:31  “For you can all prophesy one by one…”. Drs. Phil. Had every single Jew (man, woman, and child) appealed to Festus? 2:22; 1 Jn. 3:4  “For(ever) since the fathers fell asleep, all continues as it was from the beginning of creation.”.

This would include Gentile believers as part of God’s people, state Drs. “All” has the same meaning as that found in the note under Heb. Not in this context!

Walvoord and Zuck, on page 541; and Matthew Henry, on page 1060, of their respective commentaries agree. 2:10  “I bring you good news of a great joy which shall be for all the people;”. Rom. According to Dr. Bruce, on page 87, they were “the crowd of wondering spectators”, eyewitnesses to the miracle who were in and around the temple in Jerusalem. As Dr. Hendriksen, on page 465, states, “the words ‘by all’ must not be taken literally as if referring to every man, woman, and child on earth, or even by all those reached by the gospel. As Dr. Hendriksen on page 565 states, “Among seeds sown in a garden, it was generally the smallest.” Drs. As Drs. Walvoord and Zuck, page 665, of their respective commentaries. 6:10  “For the love of money is the root of all (sorts of) evil,”. No! Phil. 3:2  “You are our letter …known and read by all men;”.

Drs. 1:29  “being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, malice, …”.

Pheiffer and Harrison, page 1426, and Drs. 2:7), etc., “all kinds of” people – Dr. Hendriksen, on pages 93, 94 of his New Testament Commentary – 1st and 2nd Timothy and Titus, and Dr. Robertson, p. 567 agree.

Not “all” evil (every single evil there is), as the King James Version translates the Greek word “panton”, but “all sorts/kinds of” evil, as it can have that meaning as well – Dr. Hendriksen, page 200; Drs. 1:7-10 – Drs. Also, see Jn. “All” only means “all without any kind of limitation” if it refers to all things and no things, created and uncreated, existent and non-existent, abstract and concrete, actual and potential, true and false, rational and irrational, beautiful and ugly, good and evil, etc. Jamieson, Faussett, and Brown, on page 1084, agree.
