NASB | 1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one [Holy] Spirit we were all baptized into one body, [spiritually transformed--united together] whether Jews or Greeks (Gentiles), slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one [Holy] Spirit [since the same Holy Spirit fills each life]. [Rom 3:22; Gal 3:28] |
Subject: Given what to drink?Made to drink of? |
Bible Note: Hi Tim, The wine of Babylon the Great and the wine of the wrath of God in Revelation 14:10 seem to be an actual drinks. The wine of God is one which is unmixed, in full strength in the cup of His anger. So there is that contrast of Revelation 14:10 and 1 Corinthians 12:13. Rev 14:10, "he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God,..." 1 Corinthians 12:13, "and we were all made to drink of one Spirit." 1) So in the context of 1 Corinthians 12:13, would we drink of baptismal water? I don't think so. Perhaps we would drink of the wine or even the blood of Christ? Or would we be filled with holy spirit? 2) Perhaps we were washed in His blood, washed in His word, partakers of the holy spirit. Hebrews 6:4, "For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the (h)Holy (s)Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God, and put Him to open shame."
