NASB | Colossians 1:14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Colossians 1:14 in whom we have redemption [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the forgiveness of our sins [and the cancellation of sins' penalty]. |
Subject: In Whom, in whom, or in Him? |
Bible Note: Hi Tim, All of us are looking forward to many more of your two cents... :-) The "WHO" [Who or who] is a pronoun but sometimes the same pronoun is translated He; is it not? Ephesians 1:11, NASB, "also [marginal note, Lit, in whom] we have obtained an inheritance,..." Ephesians 1:11, NKJ, "In Him also we have obtained an inheritance,..." So the "WHO" can be translated either "Who [Who or who]," or "He [He or he]" depending on capitalization policies of the versions]. 1) Personally, if the "WHO [Who] is chosen in the translation then that is good with me. But, again personally as a counter of pronouns I would find the capitalized Who a distraction in my counting. 2) Expressed another way, I think of "in Him" as speaking of the Person; and "in (w)Whom as speaking of the essence of oneness. If that makes any sense, let me know. From the heart, Ray |
