Subject: Living (g)Godly lives? |
Bible Note: Hi Emmaus, Jesus lived the life of God. But the point of the thread is that the best we can do is live godly lives. The only "godly" occurances in the NASB concordance that I would capitalize as talking about Deity are the ones found in 2 Corinthians. 1) 2 Cor 1:12, NKJ, "For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God..." 1 Cor 1:12, NASB, "...that in holiness and godly sincerity,..." My interpretation for what is worth: "that in simplicity and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world..." 2) 2 Cor 7:9, NKJ, "Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner,..." 2 Cor 7:9, NASB, "...for you were made sorrowful according to the will of God..." I go with the NASB here. 3) 2 Cor 7:10, NKJ, "For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation,..." 2 Cor 7:10, NASB, "For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation; but the sorrow of the world produces death." I go with the NASB here. 4) 2 Cor 7:11, NKJ, "For observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner:..." 2 Cor 7:11, NASB, "For behold what earnestness this very thing, this godly sorrow, has produced in you:..." I go with the marginal note in the NASB Study Bible, rendering it thus: "For behold what earnestness this very thing, this sorrow according to God has produced in you." 5) 2 Cor 11:2, NKJ, "For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 2 Cor 11:2, NASB, is basically the same. My interpretive rendering for what it is worth: "For I am zealous for you with the zeal of God; for I have betrothed you to one husband, that to Christ I might present you as a pure virgin." I hope this helps. From the heart, Ray |
