NASB | 1 Corinthians 2:10 For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 2:10 For God has unveiled them and revealed them to us through the [Holy] Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things [diligently], even [sounding and measuring] the [profound] depths of God [the divine counsels and things far beyond human understanding]. |
Subject: NKJ, NASB, and varied manuscripts. |
Bible Note: Hi terrib, 1 Corinthians 2:10 has been discussed by believers through the ages. The varied manuscripts are proof of this to my mind. The NU text does not include the word "His", thus the NASB is translated "revealed them through the Spirit" rather than the NKJ "His Spirit". The idea of desiring one of the words to be deleted, suggests to me that one of the words of Spirit should be lower case. I believe that there should be four words of Deity for the verse. I see the choices as being: "For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God." (NASB) "For to us God revealed them through His Spirit; for the *spirit searches all things, even the depths of God." (NKJ and a lower case spirit for the second clause) "For to us God revealed them through His spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God." Each of those choices have four words of Deity in them. 1 Corinthians 2:4, "And my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit, and of power, 5 so that your faith should not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God."
