NASB | 2 Thessalonians 2:2 that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Thessalonians 2:2 not to be quickly unsettled or alarmed either by a [so-called prophetic revelation of a] spirit or a message or a letter [alleged to be] from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has [already] come. |
Bible Question: I have just read an article by Dr. Kenneth Wuest on II Thess.2:2 concerning "Day of the Lord". I noticed in the received text the Greek has "Day of Christ" and in the revised text "Day of the Lord". Dr. Wuest says that the better texts have "Day of the Lord". What Greek texts are being refered to as better and why? |
Bible Answer: The Greek texts in question would be Alexandrian. Some of the oldest and most comlete texts come from this text type, which is why they're deemed 'better.' Either way, the same event and person is in view no matter which reading is adopted. Notice how in verse 1 Christ is called our "Lord" Jesus Christ. Peace in Christ, Machaira |
