NASB | Romans 6:14 For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 6:14 For sin will no longer be a master over you, since you are not under Law [as slaves], but under [unmerited] grace [as recipients of God's favor and mercy]. |
Subject: Why do we read the Old Testament? |
Bible Note: Greetings, in this instance, since Jesus is speaking to Jews, we would understand the Law to be what they understood it to be - the Mosaic Law or covenant. Yet as the Amplified points out, the Law forshadows what is to come, and until ALL is fulfilled, ALL of God's plans, (this mainly concerns Israel) not one mark or letter will disappear! Doesn't that give you great confidence when you read the Bible, knowing that God is true to His Word?!! Read the thread on Mt 5:18, see Reformer Joe's posts. Blessings, mommapbs |
