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. |
Bible Question (short): Plain or Intended Meaning? |
Question (full): Mark, regarding your comment on ID#164080, if you don't mind, let's try something... Read Luke 14:26. The "plain reading" of Jesus' words suggests that unless one hates their parents, they cannot be his followers. Now, what would you think of the person who, taking the "plain reading" of the text, practiced and taught Christians to hate their parents? Or, did Jesus mean something other than what the "plain reading" suggests? Is there a meaning intended by what Jesus actually said other than what he actually said? |
