Subject: How do we know that we are truly saved? |
Bible Note: Ray: You write: 'The word "controls" in the NASB for 2 Corinthians 5:14 is not a good choice.' How did you come to that conclusion? What are your academic credentials that would qualify you to assert that? You go on to say: 'Looking at the Greek tonight, I think that the idea of the verse is that "the love of Christ holds us together" as believers in the One who died for us and for whom we now live.' But in fact, "the love of Christ holds us together" has nowhere near the same meaning as "the love of Christ controls and urges and impels us" (Amplified and other versions). "Holds together" is nothing like "controls and urges and impels". 2 Corinthians 5:14 AMPLIFIED For the love of Christ controls and urges and impels us, because we are of the opinion and conviction that [if] One died for all, then all died; The NET Bible For the love of Christ controls us, since we have concluded this, that Christ died for all; therefore all have died. The Holy Bible, New International Version® For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. New King James Version For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; The American Standard Version For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that one died for all, therefore all died; The New American Standard Bible For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died; Holy Bible, The New Living Translation Whatever we do, it is because Christ's love controls us. Since we believe that Christ died for everyone, we also believe that we have all died to the old life we used to live. Good News Translation - Second Edition We are ruled by the love of Christ, now that we recognize that one man died for everyone, which means that they all share in his death. Holman Christian Standard Bible® For Christ's love compels us, since we have reached this conclusion: if One died for all, then all died. New Revised Standard Version For the love of Christ urges us on, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died. Holy Bible, English Standard Version For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; Contemporary English Version We are ruled by Christ's love for us. We are certain that if one person died for everyone else, then all of us have died. Grace to you, Kalos |
