NASB | Ephesians 2:3 Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 2:3 Among these [unbelievers] we all once lived in the passions of our flesh [our behavior governed by the sinful self], indulging the desires of human nature [without the Holy Spirit] and [the impulses] of the [sinful] mind. We were, by nature, children [under the sentence] of [God's] wrath, just like the rest [of mankind]. |
Subject: "objects of wrath" |
Bible Note: John; I appreciate your response. After reading it, the following statement you made stuck out. "it is important to remember that those who were not chosen by God to receive mercy have no right to protest" I personally believe God has mercy on all. The reason I state that is because of the following Scripture Rom. 11:30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: Rom. 11:31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. Rom. 11:32 For God hath concluded them all (Jew and Gentiles) in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. Could you please explain this? Grace be unto you New Creature |
