NASB | Job 1:8 The LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Job 1:8 The LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered and reflected on My servant Job? For there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God [with reverence] and abstains from and turns away from evil [because he honors God]." |
Subject: a righteous man |
Bible Note: Satan is God's adversary. He was allowed to torment Job because of Job's pride. Job was righteous in his own eyes. God allows us to be disciplined through suffering, the same way Jesus was. The whole point is to get us to the point where we kill the godless human nature and all the rotten emotions we are born with and grow strong in God's nature and characture through His Spirit(born again). |
