AMPLIFIED 2015 | Daniel 2:22 "It is He who reveals the profound and hidden things; He knows what is in the darkness, And the light dwells with Him. [Job 15:8; Ps 25:14; Matt 6:6] |
Subject: A look at pronouns: Is (l)Light needed? |
Bible Note: Hi Doc, Acts 26:18: Somewhere in the archives I spoke of how a capitalized Light fits well with this verse. From darkness to Light; from dominion of satan to God. 2 Corinthians 4:4: I do not wish to capitalize light in that verse. Seeing the light of the gospel and giving the light of the knowledge (verse 6) do not denote Deity to my mind. I believe that light shall shine out of darkness because of the One who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. 1 John 1:5: This verse in the 1977 copyright NASB has light in lower case. The 1995 copyright has Light capitalized. 1 John 1:5, NASB, "This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in darkness, wwe lie and do not practice the truth; 7 but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin." Light of the world: The new copy of NASB also has Light capitalized for both John 8:12 and John 9:5. As a capitalizer and as a counter of pronouns I had already capitalized these words as talking of Deity. John 8:12, "Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, "I am the (Light) of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life." John 9:5, "While I am in the world, I am the (Light) of the world." The parentheses are mine for comparison. 1) For Daniel 2:22, I think that it is a perfect match for 1 John 1:6 while using a lower case light. Daniel 2:22, "...and the light dwells with *Him. 1 John 1:6, "And if we say that we have fellowship with *Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth." 2) I go with the mixture of the NKJ and the NASB for Daniel 2:23 because I am a "counter of pronouns of Deity" and believe that many of the prayers in the Scriptures have pronoun sums that are divisible by three.
