NASB | Romans 8:3 For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 8:3 For what the Law could not do [that is, overcome sin and remove its penalty, its power] being weakened by the flesh [man's nature without the Holy Spirit], God did: He sent His own Son in the likeness of sinful man as an offering for sin. And He condemned sin in the flesh [subdued it and overcame it in the person of His own Son], [Lev 7:37] |
Bible Question: I beleive 2 Corinthians 5:21 rendering of the second use of the word 'sin' could or should be 'sin-offering'. Romans 8:3 bears witness to this rendering, but I am concerned about the added emphsis of 'offering' in italics. Is there grammatical or other justifiable reasons the word was added or is this just man's reasoning that it makes more sense or that we have an agenda? I definitely believe it should be there but I am a lay person without the background to justify the rendering. |
Bible Answer: The original in 2 Corinthians 5:21 says ... to;n mh; gnovnta aJmartivan uJpe;r hJmw'n aJmartivan ejpoivhsen ... aJmartivan is the word for sin. Offering is not there. tho could make sense |
