NASB | 1 Corinthians 12:3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is accursed"; and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 12:3 Therefore I want you to know that no one speaking by the [power and influence of the] Spirit of God can say, "Jesus be cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is [my] Lord," except by [the power and influence of] the Holy Spirit. |
Subject: Gos Can Speak! |
Bible Note: Dear teacher..., I don't quite get your point, sir. Of course God can speak and idols can't! The verse 1 Cor 12:3 you quote made a contrast between the true conversion to Christ (only by the Holy Spirit that one can say Jesus is Lord) and the denial of Christ (one that was without the Holy Spirit's work in him/her and claimed that Jesus is accursed). So, the point is not whether God can speak, but how God speaks and how He validates the converted to profess their faith. Could you please elaborate further? Thank you. Shalom Azure |
