1 | Hold fast the Scriptures- then memorize? | NT general Archive 1 | Ray | 80814 | ||
Hi Biblebeliever, Is it more important to memorize the Scriptures or believe them? 1 Corinthians 15:2, KJ, "By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless he have believed in vain." 1 Corinthians 15:2, NKJ, "by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you--unless you believed in vain." From the heart, Ray |

Hey this is a very good question. But the Bible says we are saved by grace not by works. True it is a very good thing to memorize the scriptures. It helps you witness to other people and it allows you to grow stronger as a christian, but it is more important to believe in the word of God than to memorize it. |

Hi b.g.guitar, I agree with you entirely. What I was hoping in my question was to get Biblebeliever to compare the two renderings and to see that the NKJ version was a better one for this verse. The literal meaning of "hold fast the word" is better than "keep in memory". You are right about memorization being important for witnessing. Twenty-five or so years ago I found in memory work with the Navigators system the importance of review. We must review things in order to keep them in our memory. But first of all, we believe and hold fast the word. From the heart, Ray |
