AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Peter 3:11 ¶ Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be [in the meantime] in holy behavior [that is, in a pattern of daily life that sets you apart as a believer] and in godliness [displaying profound reverence toward our awesome God], |
Bible Question:
I guess this would be a point of grammar. Do we take this as a question, exclamation or possibly both? Compare: KJV (2Pe 3:11) Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, (2Pe 3:12) Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? (Question mark) NASB (2Pe 3:11) Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, (2Pe 3:12) looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! (Exclamation mark) terrib |
Bible Answer: Greetings Terrib! I would definitely go with 'question' for the following reason. The Greek text of 2 Pet. 3:11 includes an interrogative pronoun - 'potapos'. This is a clear indication that the sentence is meant to be a question. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
