Episode notes
Suffering Purifies The Saved
- Trials purify believers and are expected parts of salvation, not means to earn it.
- Peter teaches believers are "scarcely saved" meaning saved with difficulty through suffering.
NT Quotes Often Use The Septuagint
- New Testament authors often quote the Old Testament via the Greek Septuagint, not the Hebrew text.
- This explains small wording differences across English translations and preserves core theology.
Translations Still Convey The Core
- Learning original languages seldom produces a radically different reading than good English translations.
- English translations reliably convey the Bible's core theology for most readers.
