NASB | Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ [that is, in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body I live by faith [by adhering to, relying on, and completely trusting] in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. |
Bible Question: I have always understood that I need all the faith I can muscle to have faith in the Son of God. Then someone explained that it should be "... I live by the faith of the Son of God...". This of course changed the whole perspective because I may have doubt in my faith but I have no doubt that He has the faith. This someone told me it is from the amplified bible. But, I do not find it worded exactly like that in the AB ....Could you help? |
Bible Answer: Hi ccchang, I have no problem with "faith in the Son of God". Another option for you however, is the word "to" or "toward" which I find in some translations. Here you would have the idea that one is "working" toward a viable faith while not nullifying the grace of God. Verse 16 gives us the information that we are justified by faith in Christ; it gives us the contrast between the flesh and the Spirit. Have you begun by,in,with the Spirit? Welcome to the forum. From the heart, Ray |
