Bible Note: Hi Doc, My personal study is one of looking at the nouns and pronouns and having them divisible by three. So if I am persuaded to add a pronoun, then I look to drop one, or if I am persuaded to drop a pronoun, I look to add one. It is not a question of bartering with you, but trying to discern the nouns and pronouns of a triune God. We could use help on the Hebrew cross reference for Ephesians 2:17 also. Ephesians 2:17, NASB, "AND HE CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY, AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR." Isaiah 57:19, NASB, "Creating the praise of the lips, "Peace, peace to him who is far and to him who is near," Says the Lord, "and I will heal him."" Ephesians 2:17, NKJ, "And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near." Isaiah 57:19, NKJ, "I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace to him who is far off and to him who is near," Says the Lord, "And I will heal him."" Should the "I" be included in the Isaiah 57:19 verse? I believe so, but it would be good to get a scholarly opinion from a language expert. From the heart, Ray |
