NASB | 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, |
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] |
Subject: Why include "even" in John 1:12 |
Bible Note: To me it speaks of the all encompassing faithfulness of GOD to what He says. GOD will deal with those who come to Him through Jesus, but they have the right, not the guarntee of being accepted as His children. |
