1st John Bible Nerd-Study - Week 16

Week 16—Wuest's expanded translation

*Missed last week? Click here for 1st John Bible Nerd-Study - Week 15

This translation (or paraphrase?) is not mainly to help explain the passage "in other words" like most paraphrases, but is focused on helping the student understand the Greek language's expression or meaning. This one is handled by a Greek-language scholar.

That said, it's still a paraphrase. It's still not a word-for-word translation. It should be our case by this reading that we're able to more quickly notice the added words, at least through 1 John 2:2.

As usual, let's share anything that we find helpful from reading through 1st John with this expanded translation.

He shared a message for each book of the Bible, giving a simple overview and revealing the way to find Christ as you read. It is not only his classic set but it's His way with the Scriptures. Our brother could always find Christ and find Him as He's meant to be found. For a new believer and an old believer, this is the first set to have as guide through the Bible and a reference set to go back to later on.  Below are links to each of the original messages.   Old Testament  Introduction to the Old Testament Genesis -The Will of God Exodus -The Works of God Leviticus - The Ways of God Numbers -The Walk of God Deuteronomy - The Word of God Joshua - Possessing the Land   Judges - Possessing all the Possessions Ruth - Recovery of the Inheritance I Samuel - Epoch-...

Heart Sharing (with Spanish Translation): San José, Costa Rica August 2025

Note: These two messages are part of a larger series a few of us shared. (I'll add a playlist for that once I have it). These two can stand alone as well. The first crowd was there on a Wed night for a weekly worship time. The second crowd was a set of those serving in the church (mostly).
