NASB | Acts 19:20 So the word of the Lord was growing mightily and prevailing. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Acts 19:20 So the word of the Lord [concerning eternal salvation through faith in Christ] was growing greatly and prevailing. |
Bible Question: How did the translators for the amplified bible arrive at the word intensify to emphasize prevailing |
Bible Answer: to 'continue to increase', 'to grow mightily, and 'to grow and spread' can be said to be the equivalen of 'to intensify'. The paraphrasers are simply using parallel ideas together in order to bring out and emphasise the forceful meaning of the Greek. We must not read too much into individual words. Rather we must ask , what was the writer trying to say?. And here it is surely the rapid spread, and powerful and effective impact, of the word. Best wishes |
