NASB | Galatians 6:17 ¶ From now on let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the brand-marks of Jesus. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Galatians 6:17 ¶ From now on let no one trouble me [by making it necessary for me to justify my authority as an apostle, and the absolute truth of the gospel], for I bear on my body the branding-marks of Jesus [the wounds, scars, and other outward evidence of persecutions--these testify to His ownership of me]. |
Bible Question: what is the mark of Christ |
Bible Answer: Hi Paul said in Gal:6:17: From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. From this point of view the mark of Christ is the sign of persecution. Paul of course bore physical evidence of having suffered for Christ's sake. Not all Christians will bear physical marks, but all will at some stage, if they are true to Jesus Christ, suffer persecution. Bear it proudly (in the right sense). For it is the mark of Christ. However from another point of view we could say that the mark of Christ is true faith (Galatians 3.1-5), and possession of the Spirit of God. If any man has not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His (Romans 8.9). Best wishes Jonp. |
