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: growing mightily and prevailing grew and spread and intensified, prevailing mightily I think the Amplified added intensified to mightily beause the Greek has both (that are listed as mightily): kata (Strong's 2596): down (higher to a lower plane), against, according to kratos (Strong's 2903): strength, might In the Greek order it is: so mightily mightily the Lord of word was growing and was prevailing The order is important, since the more importtant words ar listed first ... but too hard for most to understand, because it is that the way we speak.
