Subject: A look at our Master according to Jude? |
Bible Note: Hi Tim, Thank you very much. I'd like to see if you agree with the literal rendering of my copy of what is probably the TR text. I really have no knowledge of the various texts. I believe this text would be what the NKJ would use. 1) There are three places where I need your expertise and input. First, verse 4 where it speaks of denying "the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ" as per the NKJ. Or, NASB, "and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ." I am choosing as my preference the NKJ and the TR text. The text has an extra word in it, "God", which comes after the word translated Master in the Interlinear versions that I have. So the literal translation is rendered, "and denying the only Master, *God, even our Lord Jesus Christ." I prefer this reading. 2) The second place is the next verse where it talks about "in the second place".:) There seems to be some significance to a first place and a subsequent second place [time] where the people or angels had forsaken their good beginnings and did not keep themselves in the love of God. This verse has the word "Lord" in the translations and the marginal note says that some manuscripts render it as "Jesus". (In passing, I would say that this verse would be of interest to our friend who believes that Joshua was Jesus.) But of interest to me is the rendering in my Interlinear copy of verse 5b, "...in the second place He destroyed the ones not believing." This rendering puts an extra pronoun which would go well in comparison to verse 6. I prefer this rendering with its extra pronoun. 3) The third place where I would welcome your input is where the words, "through Jesus Christ our Lord" is not found in my TR copy but is found in the NU text. Here my preference is with the NASB and the NU text. Jude, verse 25, "to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory..." I welcome your comments. From the heart, Ray |
