Subject: The error addressed in 2 Peter |
Bible Note: Greetings Doc! Vincent says of 2 Peter 1:5: "The A. V. exhorts to add one virtue to another; but the Greek, to develop one virtue in the exercise of another: “an increase by growth, not by external junction; each new grace springing out of, attempting, and perfecting the other.” Render, therefore, as Rev. In your faith supply virtue, and in your virtue knowledge, etc." Thus, he would recommend diagramming the verses as stair steps with faith leading up to love. This was a great question to think about! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
