NASB | Ephesians 1:13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 1:13 In Him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and [as a result] believed in Him, were stamped with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit [the One promised by Christ] as owned and protected [by God]. [John 7:39; Acts 2:33] |
Subject: Can you lose your salvation? |
Bible Note: Ps25, You said, "Those who are genuinely born again, have been sealed, by the Holy Spirit, before they actually were saved." Unless I am reading it wrong, the verse in the KJV actually reads the opposite: "after ye believed, ye were sealed." The NAS reads: "after listening to the...gospel...having believed, you were sealed." This verse, at least to me, shows God's act of sealing in the Holy Spirit as occurring after one listens and believes in Christ and not before. |
