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: Kalos, down here in Arkansas, the verb form "to aggravate" can be terminal. I cite this usage: "You aggravate me to death!"..... Perhaps that sense of the word is not entirely foreign to the reaction one often has when reading some of the linguistic conclusions of the self-styled masters of English who pontificate on the forum from time to time. --Hank |
