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]. |
Bible Question (short): Reaching Perfection |
Question (full): I did read large portions of that website but I'm more inclined to put my faith in the NT writers, like Paul. What about 1 Timothy 1:15, "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief." Note that Paul writes, "am chief" and not "was chief." How can we possibly think we could come close to Paul's example? And yet he thought of himself this way. |
