NASB | 2 Corinthians 3:2 You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men; |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Corinthians 3:2 You are our letter [of recommendation], written in our hearts, recognized and read by everyone. |
Subject: Are we "letters"? |
Bible Note: Verse 1 starts with being commended again. There were teachers who twisted what Paul said and wrote. Because of that, letters of recommendation were needed (a little help from NIV Study Bible), like Paul's mark at the end of his letters. The letter of recommendation went both ways. Verse 2 I see their letter of recommendation being written on Paul's heart. Everyone knows they stand for the turth. Verse 3 says their letter of recommendation has the stamp of Christ, the best recommendation. The Holy Spirit wrote it on their hearts. Therefore, we are each a letter of recommendation because of Christ's endorsement and the seal of the Holy Spirit on our hearts. Steve PS Paul did add that it was the result of his group's ministry. He was the one sent to them. PSS I am confused by Nelson's |
