NASB | 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God's will, both publicly and privately--behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage]; |
Bible Question: In the 1965 edition of Amplified Bible 2 Tim 3:16 the "is" in 'Every Scripture is...', the "is" is italicized signifying it is not found in the original text In the 1987 edition of Amplified Bible the "is" is no longer italicized indicating that it is now in the original text. What happened? Why the change? |
Bible Answer: Yours is a very sharp observation. And while your observation is indeed accurate (I checked it out for myself), I hardly think that italics or lack of same for the word *is* affects the meaning of the verse one way or the other. . . . What happened and why? Ask the Lockman Foundation. They produced the Amplified Bible. |
