Bible Question: CAN SOMEONE INTERPRET 2PETER1:4 AND IS THERE A CROSS REFERENCE IN GENESIS |
Bible Answer: 2 Peter 1:4 (Amplified) By means of these He has bestowed on us His precious and exceedingly great promisses,so that through them you may escape(by flight)from the moral decay(rotteness and corruption)that is in the world because of covetousness(lust and greed)and become sharers (partakers) of the divine nature. In this case I really like this version because it leaves little to the imagination.Now go to(Genesis 1:26,27) this passage fits very well with 2 Pt 1:4,it matches up very well.Understanding this passage will shed a lot of light on the verse you are asking about. Also refer to (Col 3:9,10 James 3:9) these verses will help offer some more clarity on things for you.Hope this helps. In Christ, lionheart |
