Bible Question:
Can someone please explain this verse from 1 John 3 in relation to 1 John 1:9. Aren't the words in the Amplified that are in brackets []commentary? By the way where is Radioman2? Does any one know? I haven't read anything from him for a while. Asis |
Bible Answer: Hello Asis, 1 John 3:6 describes one who is a habitual sinner or one living in sin. 1 John 1:9 is directed to one who acknowledges his sin while trying to live a godly and holy life. Are the brackets commentary? Yes and no. The Greek words carry variations of meaning compared to English. Often you'll find that several Greek words can be used to describe the same thing where we use only one word in English. Take "love" for instance. If I remember correctly, there are a total of four Greek words which could be used depending on which type (familial, seld-sacrificing, sexual, etc.) is meant. The Amplified is simply trying to give the full meaning of the words being translated. Steve |
