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: "even" is confusing. |
Bible Note: Dear Hank: Your answer is right on target. Thanks for the explanation of words that are italicized in the NASB text, as well as the text of other translations. Before I read your reply, I read the original question and thought about it. I was going to say to load to try reading the verse, omitting the word "even." But I see you have already made the same suggestion. --JVH0212 |
