1 | Panteles in Heb.7:25 means???? | Heb 7:25 | MichaelOris | 203920 | ||
Why does the NASV translate forever (panteles) in Hebrews 7:25 instead of complete or to the uttermost as do other translations? | ||||||
2 | Panteles in Heb.7:25 means???? | Heb 7:25 | Tamara Brewington | 203921 | ||
I assume that NASV is the New American Standard Version and that by that you meant the New American Standard Bible. The word in the Greek is indeed uttermost, the translators simply chose to use the words forever or complete to make it be in the standard English usage of today. However, the word forever conotes to the uttermost because forever is as far as the reality of salvation can reach. Complete is used because the reality of salvation to the uttermost is complete in scope. What more uttermost could there be than that salvation is forever or complete? However, the first meanings of the words in Greek are full ended and entire. So then salvation is full ended and entire as it is to the uttermost. Imagine if salvation were limited by space,time or human work? Then it would not be full ended, entire and to the uttermost. How far does salvation reach, till tomorrow, till we sin too much or of a nature to gross? No the nature of salvation is that it is complete and forever, to the uttermost. The meaning is not appreciably changed by the use of any of the three words in question. God Bless, Tamara | ||||||

Thanks Tamara, That was helpful. I am not familiar with the phrase "full ended" but I think it makes sense. It just seemed odd to me that the New American Standard would use "forever" when the Greek word did not seem to ever be translated that way. mike | ||||||

Say mike I got something for you you might alrady have, but maybe not.. Check these tools out I use em all the time, the first one is just a site, the other three are free downloads that have Bible study resources like the Bible with the Strong's attached to the OT and NT, about 20 translations of the Bible and one resource has the English transliteration of the Greek and Hebrew written out in Greek and Hebrew word order. Just save each download to your desktop and then go there and run each one, an icon will appear on your desktop, skip everything that costs money and scroll down to the free stuff when downloading. That reference for full ended was in the Strong's as the first reference.
