NASB | Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Galatians 3:28 There is [now no distinction in regard to salvation] neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you [who believe] are all one in Christ Jesus [no one can claim a spiritual superiority]. [Rom 3:22; 1 Cor 12:13] |
Bible Question: what does the bible say about races. like white marrying a black?? |
Bible Answer: Kea13: Good to have you as a registrant of SBF. The Bible contains no prohibitions against inter-racial marriage based on skin color, but it does contain prohibitions in the Old and New Testaments on religious grounds, not racial grounds per se. ...... Galatians 3:28: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus." ..... 1 Corinthians 6:14,15: "Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness with lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?" It is plain that these verses in Corinthians have nothing to do with inter-racial unions but rather with a Christian and an unbeliever. Restrictions have been placed on marriage in matters pertaining to one's faith but never on the color of his skin. ..... I'm 70 years old and can well remember segregated schools, restaurants, movie houses and, yes, even churches. I heard a sermon one time when I was a youth in which the preacher tried to make a biblical case for segregation. He twisted Scripture horribly in an effort to prove his point, but of course he failed miserably. .... He allowed that he had nothing against "the coloreds" as he called them and grudingly (so it seemed) admitted that God loved them too, but that "the coloreds" should stay in their place. He never said what "their place" was supposed to mean. --Hank |
