Bible Question:
I have just read Matt 19:29 in my NKJV and My wifes NIV. There is a conflict. The NKJV implies that God would want you to leave your wife 29And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife[1] or children or lands, for My name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life. But the NIV does not. 29And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother[1] or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. It has always been my belife that the relationship between Husband and Wife was the most sacred to God and he would do nothing short of calling you home to break it up. To whome God has joined let no man break up. Husband and Wife become one flesh thus one person in the site of God. Any comments?? I have reviewed other translations inc NASB, which is in line with the NIV but others are in line with the NKJV. I know what I believe but what do you think. |
Bible Answer: Luke 18;28-30, The Bible tells us that if an unbeliever and a believer live together and the believer is not hindered in serving God that they are to stay together. The difference in translations is apparent I think there is just amissunderstanding with the translator. i read the KJV, people say its harder to understand but to me its easer because it doesnt candy coat a lot that the other translations do. We are to stay together and divorce only for the cause of fornication. I hope this helps. |
