Bible Question:
1 Peter 2:6 quotes Isaiah 28:16, "Therefore thus say the Lord God, 'Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone, A costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed. He who believes in [it] will not be disturbed.'" The marginal note in the NASB has for the word disturbed [Lit. in a hurry]. The NKJ for the last sentence reads, "...Whoever believes will not act hastily." Question: The Greek for 1 Peter 2:6 has the word "kataischuno", Strong's #2617, from 2596 and 153; to put to shame, to disgrace. Are disbelievers ashamed of "it" or "Him"? Are they disobedient to the "word" or to the "Word"? From the heart, Ray |
Bible Answer: No, they aren't Because in order to be "ashamed" you Must know Him However Because according to 2 Corinthians 4:4 "The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." The Unbeleivers don't Know Christ, therefore can't be ashamed. From the Word, Daniel |
