Bible Note: "Not obey" is clearly the proper rendering. Someone can split hairs, but "to refuse or withhold" anything from God is disobedience. NT:544 apeitheo (ap-i-theh'-o); from NT:545; to disbelieve (wilfully and perversely): KJV-not believe, disobedient, obey not, unbelieving.

John 3:36 36"He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." NAS |
