NASB | Acts 17:31 because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Acts 17:31 because He has set a day when He will judge the inhabited world in righteousness by a Man whom He has appointed and destined for that task, and He has provided credible proof to everyone by raising Him from the dead." [Ps 9:8; 96:13; 98:9] |
Subject: Faith: "Let's talk about it later? |
Bible Note: Hi Tim, I'm glad to hear from our resident Greek scholar. 1) You say that the 'He' would refer back to the pronoun dealing with fixing a day. Could it refer back to the previous phrase, verse 30, where the pronoun is God? Is there a rule of Greek involved? 2) Do you think that the added pronoun has added emphasis or does it make one wonder if the pronoun is talking of God or of the Man? I like the NASB translation here. 3) I am not looking for a verse to argue over whether faith is offered to all or not. But, rather, the word faith is in the Greek and it shows that our faith is based on the resurrection of this Man through whom we are going to be judged by God. The resurrection is the only proof we need to base our faith upon. From the heart, Ray |
