NASB | Galatians 5:17 For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Galatians 5:17 For the sinful nature has its desire which is opposed to the Spirit, and the [desire of the] Spirit opposes the sinful nature; for these [two, the sinful nature and the Spirit] are in direct opposition to each other [continually in conflict], so that you [as believers] do not [always] do whatever [good things] you want to do. |
Subject: Quench the Spirit until extinguish? |
Bible Note: CurtMan; In my previous reply, I merely posted Adam Clarkes Commentary on the verse. If your asking me for my own thoughts on "Quenching the Spirit" then I will say that I personally believe it is possible to completely quench, or extinguish the Spirit. Otherwise the command to "not quench the Spirit" would appear to me as being useless. What would be the sense for someone to ask you not to do that which is not possible. That's my two-cents worth. Maybe it's not even worth that much. Let each reader be fully convicted in his/her own heart concerning the truth about this. |
