NASB | Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. |
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: Dear Tim, Your example doesn't compare to Acts 2:38 The singular verb and the singular subject and the plural pronoun of "let be baptized individually each of YE" is set appositively next to a plural verb. The appositive phrases match, even though the verb and subject in the second is in the singular. Your example has a singular subject 'team'. Your example does not set HEKASTOS appositively with plural nouns, pronouns, or verbs. Yes, you are right in your example: any proceeding pronouns must be singular because they point back to a singular subject 'team'. However, your use of the HEKASTOS 'each of the many' doesn't fit here because Thayer says the rules has to do with appositive phrases, that it is used alongside plural nouns, pronouns, and verbs. Your appositive phrase about the "Colt's football team" is not plural. Because 'team' is singular, in your sample sentence, the pronouns that relate to it will have to be singular. Your example also doesn't fit because HEKASTOS, each of many FOOTBALL TEAMS [plural] doesn't refer back to the appositive 'Colt's football team.' In Acts 2:38, The first phrase begins with the plural verb "repent YE", and the appositive sentence speaks individually to each of YE--not another group as your example does. Tim: "The same thing is true in Acts 2:38." Nope, unlike your example of the subject being the singular 'team', our example in Acts 2:38 points back to the YE, that were commanded to repent and be baptized. In Acts 2:38, all of the proceeding pronouns must be plural because they point back to the plural, "Repent YE" and back to the appositive phrase "let be baptized each of YE (plural)." But because of the construction of your sample, the pronouns must be singular: apples to oranges :) I understand what you are saying, but you are not being consistent. Your sample sentence is not comparative to the Acts 2:38 passage. The rule that you state only applies to your example. Thanks, Disciplerami p.s. what are your thoughts on the discussion Searcher56 and I are having over the pronoun/water vs. ark debate in 1 Peter 3:20,21? Good day to you. |
