NASB | Luke 8:15 "But the seed in the good soil, these are the ones who have heard the word in an honest and good heart, and hold it fast, and bear fruit with perseverance. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Luke 8:15 "But as for that seed in the good soil, these are the ones who have heard the word with a good and noble heart, and hold on to it tightly, and bear fruit with patience. |
Bible Question: How would one reconcile this verse that speaks of an honest and good heart, (similar to Acts 17:11),with the general Bible teaching that the heart is desperately wicked (Jeremiah 17:9)? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Huron! Several people have already provided good answers to this question! To provide a good, succinct answer that would prove that Luke 8:15 does not come close to being contradictory to Jeremiah 17:9, I would provide Colossians 3:1-17. Blessings to you, Makarios |
