| AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 1:12 But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the right [the authority, the privilege] to become children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name-- [Is 56:5] |

| Bible Question (short): Why include "even" in John 1:12 |
|
Question (full): The NASB has John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name." Even is italicized (added). Neither the NKJV nor the Holman Christian Standard Bible (NT only) includes this word. The NASB verse appears to distinguish receiving from believing, as though one could even believe in His name and still be a child of God. The NKJV and the NHCS equate the two senses. Why the difference? What gives? |
