NASB | 1 John 5:10 The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 5:10 The one who believes in the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies confidently on Him as Savior] has the testimony within himself [because he can speak authoritatively about Christ from his own personal experience]. The one who does not believe God [in this way] has made Him [out to be] a liar, because he has not believed in the evidence that God has given regarding His Son. |
Subject: Is this referencing the Holy Spirit? |
Bible Note: Hi mommapbs, Thank you for the references. Here are a couple comparisons to consider. Matthew 12:24-39 John 5:30-34 Mattew 12:32b, "...but whoever shall speak against the (Holy) Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him;..." John 5:32, "There is (Another) who bears witness of Me,..." Parentheses mine for comparison. 1) John 5:32, Green's literal translation, "it is Another witnessing concerning Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses concerning Me is true." John 5:32, NKJ Interlinear by Nelson Publishers, "Another is the [One] testifying about Me,..." (One) is in italics as being understood in the Greek in the Nelson copy. 2) Matthew 12:27, "And if I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? Consequently they shall be your judges. 28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit [I would say **spirit] of (God), then the kingdom of God has come upon you." Luke 11:20, "But if I cast out demons by the **finger of (God), then the kingdom of God has come upon you." ** Stars and parentheses are mine for comparisons. If you can speak of the activity of Jesus, the will of God, and the power of the Holy Spirit, then I would think that you can consider the finger and the spirit of God. The activity, will, power, finger, and spirit all being in lower case. What do you think? From the heart, Ray |
