NASB | 1 John 3:2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 3:2 Beloved, we are [even here and] now children of God, and it is not yet made clear what we will be [after His coming]. We know that when He comes and is revealed, we will [as His children] be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is [in all His glory]. |
Subject: Actual bodies in heaven? |
Bible Note: I'm sorry if what I posted made it sound like we don't know what state we are going to be in, that is not at all what I meant. It is my opinion that what John was talking about in the verse I posted was that we aren't sure all the ways our heavenly bodies (as it is called by paul) are going to be distinct from our earthly ones. I think that is all he was referring to, not that it is uncertain if we will have human bodies. If my post sounded that way then I certainly apologize. Like I said though, the high light for me is going to be that we finally are free from this cursed inclination towards sin, that we can finally stop being our own worst enemies as far as righteousness is concerned. The main point I was wanting to introduce is that there is no need to speculate as to every aspect of what is going to be different since it is clearly not known. Thank you for clarifying my post if it sounded as if it meant more. In Love, Beja |
