NASB | John 1:13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 1:13 who were born, not of blood [natural conception], nor of the will of the flesh [physical impulse], nor of the will of man [that of a natural father], but of God [that is, a divine and supernatural birth--they are born of God--spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified]. |
Bible Question:
John 1:13 born Being born of God not of natural descent which means physical need nor of human decision means by husband and wife to want a child or of husband will, means husband wanting a child Born to God means born to God is a gift from God not man's But God. Do I have the meaning of Verse John 1:13 right?not by blood or flesh or will of man But God. Thank you so much I understand the verse in my head but just trying to understand the meaning. |
Bible Answer: Hello sweet I don't understand how Emmaus can say this is pertaining to the virgin birth since the grammar is plural (therefore effective to more than one), and this verse is concluding the thought of verse 12 which is speaking of new birth for believers. This verse is clearly demonstrating God's working in the new birth. Steve |
