Bible Question (short): Stone or stone? Him or it? |
Question (full): 1 Peter 2:6 quotes Isaiah 28:16, "Therefore thus say the Lord God, 'Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone, A costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed. He who believes in [it] will not be disturbed.'" The marginal note in the NASB has for the word disturbed [Lit. in a hurry]. The NKJ for the last sentence reads, "...Whoever believes will not act hastily." Question: The Greek for 1 Peter 2:6 has the word "kataischuno", Strong's #2617, from 2596 and 153; to put to shame, to disgrace. Are disbelievers ashamed of "it" or "Him"? Are they disobedient to the "word" or to the "Word"? From the heart, Ray |
