Description
John 8:58 – “Jesus replied, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, before Abraham was born, I AM.” But the things the Amplified Bible interpolates into Exodus 4:19 aren’t hidden in the Greek and Hebrew; they’re interpretive and explanatory glosses.

Its purpose is to reveal, together with the single English word equivalent to each key Hebrew and Greek word, any other clarifying meanings that may be concealed by the traditional translation method. Perhaps for the first time in an English version of the Bible, the full meaning of the key words in the original text is available for the reader. In a sense, the creative use of the amplification merely helps the reader comprehend what the Hebrew and Greek listener instinctively understood. ( preface) John 1:1, 14 – “In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His glory (His honor, His majesty), such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace (favor, loving-kindness) and truth.” The KCM Amplified Bible, Classic Edition gives you powerful tools to discover what God’s Word says to you.

What is the Amplified Bible?
Traditional translation methods aren’t “concealing” meaning except at very subtle levels—places in which, for example, the number of a second-person pronoun simply can’t be expressed except through context (because you can be singular or plural in English). In particular, “the key words in the original text” don’t have “full meanings” that our modern translations are somehow obscuring. The word “conceal” vastly overstates the limitations of traditional Bible translations.
Amplified Bible? And How to Use (and Not Use) It What Is the Amplified Bible? And How to Use (and Not Use) It
Not infrequently, the Amplified Bible uses a traditional translation of an obscure word such as “firmament” but then offers a rendering that will be easier for modern readers to grasp: “[expanse]” (Gen 1:7). That’s helpful.The eyes of all wait for You [looking, watching, and expecting] and You give them their food in due season. (Ps 145:15) Linguists such as James Barr have told us that the basic unit of meaning in language is not the word anyway. It hovers somewhere between the sentence and the paragraph. Therefore the Amplified’s preface is loading up Greek and Hebrew words with more meaning than they are meant to bear. Here it is again: John 3:16 – “For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.”

Zephaniah / Haggai / Zechariah / Malachi / Matthew / Mark / Luke / John / Acts / Romans / Psalms / Corinthians / Galatians / Ephesians / Philippians / Colossians / Thessalonians / Timothy / Titus / Philemon / Hebrews / James / Peter / John / Jude / Revelation. This really isn’t right. “Believes in” is the correct translation. Jesus could have said “adhered to” or “trusts in” or “relied on,” and he didn’t. Adhering, trusting, and relying are not ideas hidden in pisteuo (πιστεύω) but concealed by the ESV, NASB, NIV, CSB, etc. The Greek and Hebrew words for believe aren’t any richer than the English, French, Spanish, or German ones. Now, the word pisteuo (πιστεύω) may be used in contexts which highlight its affinity with “relying on” or “trusting in,” but so can the English word “believe.” It’s context which flavors a word. Ephesians 2:8-9 – “For it is by free grace (God’s unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God; Not because of works [not the fulfillment of the Law’s demands], lest any man should boast. [It is not the result of what anyone can possibly do, so no one can pride himself in it or take glory to himself.]” Welcome to The Amplified Bible Offline. Discover a powerful and comprehensive tool that allows you to access the timeless wisdom and teachings of the Bible, all within the convenience of your smartphone or tablet. The Amplified Bible can be a valuable study tool, as the different “alternate” renderings can give additional insight into the meaning of a text. The problem is the words the AMP gives alternate renderings for CAN mean those things, but do not mean ALL of those things. The fact that a word can have different meanings does not mean that every possible meaning is a valid rendering each time the word occurs. Also, it being based on the American Standard Version results in some of its wordings sounding archaic.The Bible free consists of 39 books in the Old Testament (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations , Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi) and 27 books in the New Testament (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, Hebrews, James, 1 Peter, 2 Peter, 1 John, 2 John, 3 John, Jude, Revelation) Enjoy a smoother reading experience with the only Amplified® Bible in a single-column, paragraph format.

All of the examples I’ve just given are good things the Amplified does despite, not because of, the theory stated in its preface. Conclusion How does the translation process impact the inspiration, inerrancy, and infallibility of the Bible? With smooth scrolling, easy search functionality, and customizable settings, finding and studying specific verses has never been easier. For Further Study How to Choose a Translation for All Its Worth: A Guide to Understanding and Using Bible Versions by Gordon D. Fee & Mark L. Strauss I mentioned this request to an astute friend and diligent Bible student, a grandmother who works full time as a writer-editor. Super sharp. A day later I received this:
For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. (John 3:16) Take as an example the Greek word pisteuo, which the vast majority of versions render “believe.” That simple translation, however hardly does justice to the many meanings contained in the Greek pisteuo: “to adhere to, cleave to; to trust, to have faith in; to rely on, to depend on.” Consequently, the reader gains understanding through the use of amplification, as in John 11:25: “Jesus said to her, I am [Myself] the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on) Me, although he may die, yet he shall live.” Bible readers throughout church history have argued about whether the Trinity is meant here. I don’t think the question can be answered definitively until we know even as also we are known (1 Cor 13:12). But inserting one position into the text is helpful for readers who, like me as a young person, never stopped to ask, “Who’s the ‘us’?” Once again, the Amplified forces you to ask an important interpretive question by answering it. Bookmark and highlight: mark your favourite passages, bookmark important verses, and highlight meaningful sections. Add notes to verses and make a list of favourites. They had an eye for metaphors that might need a little explanation. In this sense, the Amplified tends to combine the value of formal (literal) and functional (dynamic) Bible translations:
