Maybe Peter needed a new version?
Besides, what does this have to do with modern versions? We have a new one every six to twelve months, each one supposedly easier to understand and closer to the original. Does our language become obsolete every year? |
It was Paul that wrote things hard for some to understand: (pointed in a study Bible which I have) from Romans: Election, 9:10-13; Justification, 4:25, 5:18; Propitiation, 3:25; Redemption, 3:24, 8:23; Sanctification, 5:2, 15:16; Glorification, 8:18, 19, 30; these were :
Crucial Concepts in Romans. In Ephesians, I recently studied about God's choosing the elect.
Update Bibles every year? It's not been just a year since children have called their father Thou (nor hath they spoken like unto this.)
