Subject: Truth or truth? I suggest truth to you. |
Bible Note: Hi Hank, Thanks for writing. I also believe that the translators are correct in their approaches to capitalization. But I don't believe that they are always consistent. As you know, I love both versions. Many versions have renderings of "the Way, the Truth, and the Life" as does one Interlinear copy I use. I would not be surprised to see the NASB and NKJ have them capitalized in future copyrights. You are aware of the changes of the word "light" in the last NASB copyright? Many of the changes match my "penciled in" capitalization notes. For instance, they now capitalize "I am the (Light) of the world" in John 8:12 and John 9:5. I agree with those changes but do not agree with their capitalization of Ephesians 5:8,9. Ephesians 5:6ff, "Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of (God) comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them; for you were formerly darkness, but now you are light in the *Lord; walk as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth) trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord." Lamentations 3:1, "I am the man who has seen affliction, Because of the rod of His wrath. He has driven me and made me walk in darkness and not in light. Surely against me (He) has turned *His hand Repeatedly all the day." John 8:12, "Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the (Light) of the world; he who follows *Me shall not walk in the darkness but shall have the Light of life." ****[I lean toward having the light of Life]. John 8:13, "The Pharisees therefore said to Him, "You are bearing witness of Yourself; Your/ witness is not true." John 14:4, "And where I go you know, and the Way/ you know." Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where (You) are going; how do we know the Way?" Jesus said to him, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life,/..." ***Capitals, parentheses, and slashes of course are mine here for comparisons. John 9:5, "While I am in the world, I am the (Light) of the world." I hope that these comparisons are of interest. I would also appreciate any comments on my post #66289. Best wishes to you Hank. From the heart, Ray |
