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: This guarantee is with GOD, in the purity of how His word is received. As it is written, be not deceived; GOD is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. What a man thinks he does stands or falls in GODS estimation of what is really done. A man says he is doing something, but is he really? Our Lord did say he who endures to the end shall be saved. He also gave us the parable of the unrighteous judge to exort us to keep after him. My fear is that a lot of people have been given a false gospel of "Jesus light", and have received another spirit. Never let go of the hope GOD has given in His Son, and don't deal lightly with it either. |
