Galatians 2:20

[Believer112]

I was reading Gal 2:20 KJV “I live by faith of the Son of God and when I went to my NIV study bible it say “in the son of God” The KJV, Wycliff and Youngs literal has “of “the rest of the translations have “in”. Gal 2:16 all translations match “in Jesus” so I don’t think it was a typo by the KJV.

Changing that one word changes the meaning from God’s faith to your faith, that’s a big difference. I personally believe it is the faith “of” God because there are other scripture that say that God has given us His supernatural faith. What say you?

Romans 12:3

King James Version (KJV)

³For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Galatians 5:22-23

King James Version (KJV)

²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

²³Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

[He giveth more grace]

The Bible and the book you mentioned (NIV) are from two different manuscripts, the KJV was koined the "Textus Receptus" and the NIV is called the "Textus Sinaiticus". I am not going to expound on the superiority of the King James Bible, but simply say that the later is corrupt and would have been burned as such around the turn of the 20th century had it not been saved from the fire by a traveling man on a quest for old manuscripts.

Then it was taken and translated my two known heretics, Drs. Hort and Wescolt.

I am going to cut it here, but "faith of the Son of God" is correct.

[To nip a debate in the bulb, I won't respond to this thread any longer.]

Tahnk you for your comment and I don't want this to be a war on translations either. I just want to know the true meaning of Gal. 2:20

[mizzdy]

19 For it was through letting the Torah speak for itself that I died to its traditional legalistic misinterpretation, so that I might live in direct relationship with God. 20 When the Messiah was executed on the stake as a criminal, I was too; so that my proud ego no longer lives. But the Messiah lives in me, and the life I now live in my body I live by the same trusting faithfulness that the Son of God had, who loved me and gave himself up for me. 21 I do not reject God's gracious gift; for if the way in which one attains righteousness is through legalism, then the Messiah's death was pointless.

Sometimes just going to another translation can clear up some problems. When we accept Him He imparts His Spirit into us so we can fight the good fight so we can with His help walk in His ways. Its the faith in Him not of Him that saves.

shalom,

Mizz

[Shiloh62]

I still read it to mean our faith in the Son of God, either way.

Mizzdy, I have to be legal with this particular passage because if we have the faith of Jesus in us it makes this all the more clearer:

John 14

¹² “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

My human faith probably would have had me acting like the disciples when Jesus was arrested. When receiving God's Spirit (supernatural faith is included) they were completely different men.

Its the faith in Him not of Him that saves.

Yes this is true but once we are saved there is more....

[He giveth more grace]

I with you Believer.

We are saved through faith in Christ and His finished Work. And, of course, that is just the beginning of a relationship with Christ.
