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: I agree with you. When I see the phrase "believe in his name", I (mistakenly?) interpret that as accepting Jesus as your Savior. As far as I know, most people believe Jesus lived 2000 years ago and did many wonderful things. But when you believe IN Jesus, that's something completely different. Sorry for the confusion. |
