NASB | 1 Peter 2:24 and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Peter 2:24 He personally carried our sins in His body on the cross [willingly offering Himself on it, as on an altar of sacrifice], so that we might die to sin [becoming immune from the penalty and power of sin] and live for righteousness; for by His wounds you [who believe] have been healed. |
Subject: did Jesus die for our sins or sickness |
Bible Note: CDBJ, to continue... I agree we get sick; nevertheless, it is not God’s desire that we are sick and that is why healing is made available to us. Allow me to clarify that I am not saying we never get sick or that we are totally free from it. I am saying that God intends and desires us to be in good physical health and, along with forgiveness (spiritual good health), has provided bodily, mental, and emotional healing. In addition, I am not trying to convince anyone of anything. If that was your perception of my post, I apologize for the misunderstanding. I am only sharing what I believe God has shown me. One final note: Because no one is a picture of health and celebrating their 200th birthday does not mean that healing and health is not God’s desire for us (Jer 29:11; 3 John 2). I appreciate your objections and hope no offense has been taken. |
