Subject: The error addressed in 2 Peter |
Bible Note: Dear Pastor Beja, When I asked about diagramming I wasn't thinking about sentence diagramming. I was thinking more along these lines: God has given us faith (2 Peter 1:1-4)... therefore supplement your faith with virtue (v5), knowledge (v5), self-control (v6), steadfastness (v6), godliness (v6), brotherly affection (v7), and love (v7)... which yields effectual fruit in true knowledge of Christ (v8). Linguistically it looks like those middle items are linked like a chain. Or think of faith as the stem, and the other attributes as leaves, budding into the fruit. Or think of faith as a central circle, with the attributes spiraling outward, into the fruit. I can't say that I've decided. Great to think about, though. :-) In Him, Doc |
