trust.
Romans 15:13
The NKJV says:
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
The NIV says:
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
: notice these differences :
- believing and trust
- abound and overflow
I once said that believing leads to the act of trusting. Well, according to translators of the Bible, these words mean the same thing.
If you abound in something, say love or joy, it will overflow out of you because you are so filled with it.
And it is by trusting (or believing) that we are able to abound in (or overflow) with hope in God. For everything. In everything. Always.
TRUST. hmm...

No! Ack!
According to those translators of the Bible, they mean totally different things!
Otherwise the people who translated the NIV wouldn't have changed it!
But yeah, thanks for pointing out the differences!
Love, Ben
then why do they use different words for the exact same thing? If they each mean something different?
Hm.
