NASB | Colossians 1:23 if indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, was made a minister. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Colossians 1:23 [and He will do this] if you continue in the faith, well-grounded and steadfast, and not shifting away from the [confident] hope [that is a result] of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which [gospel] I, Paul, was made a minister. |
Bible Question: Does this verse mean that if the elect of God do not continue that they will be cut off from benifits of the previous verses 21 and 22. |
Bible Answer: Greetings 3chosen! Excellent question! I believe that the condition mentioned in verse 23 is more of a "promise" than a condition, but the use of the Greek word if (ese) is interesting in this verse and in many others in the NT. I remember a fellow Forum member, Tim Moran, doing a study on this very topic and question a while ago, and I would suggest that you would do a "Search" for Col. 1:23, or do a search for the verse and Tim's name in the "Search" box at the right so that you can find that thread. Blessings to you, Nolan |
