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 Moran I see eye to eye with you on the fact that I also believe God's mercy extends to all, not just some. Today was the first time I noticed that Eph. 2:3 speaks about those who were at some time in the past labeled as "objects of wrath" and how they no longer can rightly be labeled as such. The interesting point that stood out was that they were in the past "objects of wrath" This proved to me as I earlier stated that being an "object of wrath" was not a fixed permament condition. I realize that this topic reopens the whole C and A debate. God's grace to you NC |
