| Precisely Literal, Richly Revealing Pairing
the most literal English translation available with an
illuminating in-text exposition of each verse in the Bible, this
outstanding resource will helps strengthen your grasp on God’s
Word. By comparing the precise NASB with the magnified sentence
structure of the Amplified Bible, readers are better able to
appreciate the meaning of the scriptures as understood by their
audience in the original languages. Known for its word-for-word
literal accuracy, the New American Standard Bible, updated edition,
is the #1 choice for in-depth inductive Bible study. And through
its unique use of synonyms and definitions, the Amplified Bible
both explains and expands the meaning of words in the text by
placing amplification in parentheses and brackets after key words
or phrases. Through multiple expressions, greater emphasis is given
to the divine message as reflected in the original Greek and
Hebrew. Now readers can benefit from both translation approaches
with this side-by-side comparison that offers a more enriching
experience with God’s Word. NASB
12—For now we see in a
mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I
will know fully just as I also have been fully known. 13—But now
faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is
love. AMPLIFIED BIBLE
12—For now we are looking in a
mirror that gives only a dim (blurred) reflection [of realities in a
riddle or enigma], but then [when perfection comes] we shall see
in reality and face to face! Now I know in part (imperfectly), but
then I shall know and understand fully and clearly, even in the
same manner as I have been fully and clearly known and understood
[by God].
13—And so faith, hope, love abide [faith—conviction and
belief respecting man’s relation to God and divine things;
hope—joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation;
love—true affection for God and man, growing out of God’s love for
and in us], these three; but the greatest of these is love. |
