THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD / DIE HEILIGE GEES VAN GOD.

26 September 2013

THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD:

1. English - (Amplified Bible Version)

[1 Corinthians 2:10-12]

10. Yet to us God Has unveiled and revealed them by and through His Spirit, for the (Holy) Spirit searches diligently, exploring and examining everything, even sounding the profound and bottomless things of God (devine counsels and things hidden and beyond man's scrutiny).

11. For what person perceives (knows and understands) what passes through a man's thoughts except the man's own spirit within him? Just so no one discerns  (comes to know and comprehend) the thougts of God except the Spirit of God. 

12. Now we have not received the spirit (that belongs to) the world, but the (Holy) Spirit Who is from God, (given to us) that we might realize and comprehend and appreciate the gifts (of divine favour and blessing so freely and lavishly) bestowed on us by God. 

2. Afrikaans - (Ou Afrikaanse Vertaling)

[1 Korintiërs 2:10-12]

10. Maar God het dit aan ons deur Sy Gees geopenbaar, want die Gees ondersoek alle dinge, ook die dieptes van God. 

11. Want wie van die mense weet wat in 'n mens is, behalwe die gees van die mens wat in hom is? So weet niemand wat in God is nie, behalwe die Gees van God. 

12. Ons het ewenwel nie die gees van die wêreld ontvang nie, maar die Gees wat uit God is, sodat ons kan weet wat God ons uit genade geskenk het.
