About this sermon
John 1:18 is translated differently across modern Bible versions, with some rendering the verse as “God the only Son” (ESV, NASB, NRSV) instead of “only begotten Son” (KJV). What accounts for this difference, and does it affect our understanding of the Godhead? In this episode of _Apostolic Life in the 21st Century,_ Dr. David K. Bernard explains the manuscript evidence behind John 1:18 and why some translations differ. He discusses the principles of textual criticism, the reliability of the biblical text, and why he believes the traditional reading best reflects John’s original wording and the biblical revelation of Jesus Christ. 🛒 Visit https://pentecostalpublishing.com/collections/david-k-bernard to shop Dr. Bernard's full catalog of published works.
