NASB | 1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world--the lust and sensual craving of the flesh and the lust and longing of the eyes and the boastful pride of life [pretentious confidence in one's resources or in the stability of earthly things]--these do not come from the Father, but are from the world. |
Bible Question:
This question is begging to be asked Should we be humble in OUR personal interpetations of the Scripture? (and OUR perceived dose of the Holy Sprit's guidance) Since we are still human... Isn't it a FACT that we ALL interpet some portions of the scriptures right and some wrong? Don't all denominationa and persons miss the mark in their interpetations.... some are wrong in some beliefs and right in others... and vice versa Doesn't God and (and logic!) tell us we should be humble? |
Bible Answer: Amen. We should be humble in everything! Pride, the opposite of humility, destroys our relationship with God. James 3:13 "Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom." 1 Peter 3:15b "...to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence." 1 John 2:16b "...the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world."
