NASB | 1 Peter 1:1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, ¶ To those who reside as aliens, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, who are chosen |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Peter 1:1 Peter, an apostle (special messenger, personally chosen representative) of Jesus Christ, To those [elect--both Jewish and Gentile believers] who live as exiles, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia [Minor], and Bithynia, who are chosen [Heb 13:14] |
Subject: Jewish believers or not |
Bible Note: Ariel Levin, Its not an issue of Hebrew Grammer, but rather of scripture and theology. I'm not trying to argue that Hosea was referring to gentiles but yes, he was referring to Israel. But is he making it anymore clear than Jeremiah did in chapter 31? He specifically said to the house of Israel and Judah. That's pretty clear. Yet still the fulfillment is in Christ and His Church, the new covenant. I'm sayin the old testament promises are specifically to Abraham, Israel, David, etc. But these promises through Christ become extended to a larger group than their original groups to whom they are promised. This is because Christ becomes the recipient of every promise, and through my being in Christ, I participate in these promise. In Christ! In Christ, Beja |
