[1] {offspring of God}
Gr. genos="race." The reference is to the creation-work of God in which
He made man (i.e. mankind, the race in Adam) in his own likeness,
# Ge 1:26,27
thus rebuking the thought that "the Godhead is like unto gold,"
etc. The word "Father" is not used, not does the passage affirm anything
concerning fatherhood or sonship, which are relationships based on faith,
and the new birth.
Cf
# Joh 1:12,13 Ga 3:26 4:1-7 Joh 5:1

[2] {Repent}
Repentance is the trans. of a Gr. word (metanoia-metanoeo) meaning "to
have another mind," "to change the mind," and is used in the N.T. to
indicate a change of mind in respect of sin, of God, and of self. This
change of mind may, especially in the case of Christians who have fallen
into sin, be preceded by sorrow
# 2Co 7:8-11
but sorrow for sin, though it may "work" repentance, is not repentance.
The son in
# Mt 21:28,29
illustrates true repentance. Saving faith
» See Note "Heb 11:39"
includes and implies that change of mind which is called repentance.

[1] {Have}
Not as in A.V., "since ye believed," but as in R.V. and marg.: "Did
ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed?" Paul was evidently
impressed by the absence of spirituality and power in these so-called
disciples. Their answer brought out the fact that they were Jewish
proselytes, disciples of John the Baptist, looking backward to an
accomplished redemption.
