NASB | 1 John 3:19 We will know by this that we are of the truth, and will assure our heart before Him |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 3:19 By this we will know [without any doubt] that we are of the truth, and will assure our heart and quiet our conscience before Him |
Bible Question:
1 John 3:19 speaks about being of the truth. But it goes on and talks about assuring our hearts before Him. Which do you think is more accurate or appropriate? Would you capitalize Truth since it is talking about Him? Or, would you translate the Greek as "it" talking about truth? From the heart, Ray |
Bible Answer: Greetings Ray, The Amplified Bible has "Truth" capitalized in 1 John 3:19! But the NASB, Holman Christian Standard NT, and even the NKJV does not capitalize "Truth" here.. 1 John 3:19 "By this we shall come to know (perceive, recognize, and understand) that we are of the Truth, and can reassure (quiet, conciliate, and pacify) our hearts in His presence," [Amplified] I agree with the Amplified in capitalizing "Truth" here in this verse.
