NASB | Acts 11:21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a large number who believed turned to the Lord. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Acts 11:21 And the hand (the power and presence) of the Lord was with them, and a great number who believed turned to the Lord [for salvation, accepting and drawing near to Jesus as Messiah and Savior]. |
Bible Question (short): Did some believe and not turn? |
Question (full): The Amplified stresses the RESULT of the activity of God - which should encourage us as we "share" the Gospel with others - we are not responsibile for another's belief or lack thereof! But just reading the NASB I'm wondering, did some believe and not turn to the Lord? - the grammatical structure of this verse is perplexing. From my limited perspective, it appears that the emphasis is not only on the work of God, but the order of that work - prompting belief first . . . Any insight here would be appreciated. |
