Bible Note: Hi Nolan, Your point is well taken about the translators choice of capitalization; and you stood up for yourself very well. I didn't mean to sound that harsh. I see the thirty-sixth verse referring to the previous one and I capitalize "the Son does remain forever." I see a contrast between the slave to sin and the Son; a contrast between the slave and the Master (see also John 15:20 and Matthew 15:27). I compare John 8:32 with Romans 6:10-22,"but the life that He lives..."-"But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life." So I would encourage anyone to add capitalization to "their own personal copies". In this case, three that are not capitalized in the NASB or NKJ; "the Son does remain forever" and verse 32, "and you will know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free." I would encourage the comparison of John 8:32 here and John 14:7, "from now on you know Him, and have seen Him." See also John 15:15, "No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master (Master) is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you. |
