AMPLIFIED 2015 | Acts 2:38 And Peter said to them, "Repent [change your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways, accept and follow Jesus as the Messiah] and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ because of the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. |
Subject: To be saved must we be baptised? |
Bible Note: The comparison between Acts 2:38 and 1 Corinthians 16:1,2: Acts 2:38 1 Cor 16:1,2 Repent ye (plural) "do you also" (plural) each one (singular) each one (singular) of you (humon,plural) of you (humon, plural) be baptized (3rd,single) lay aside (3rd,singular) Same construction in both. The same ones being told to 'do ye also' and individually be told to 'lay aside'. That is the entire point being made by Thayer when hekastos (each, every one) is used. It relates back to the plural used in the appositional phrase. You write: and it rested (singular) upon each (singular) of them." The only plural in this clause is the pronoun 'of them'. Exactly, just as in the subsentence of Acts 2:38, the only plural in it is the pronoun humon. Just as in Acts 2:3, The verb "sit/be baptized" and noun "each/each" are singular: but the pronouns in both are plural (humon). I have to run. Have a good day. Disciplerami |
