3 |
And it came to pass that there arose a great contention
among the people concerning the law of circumcission for [95] the unbelieving
husband was desirous that his children should be circumcised and become
subject to the law of Moses which law was fulfilled |
3 |
| Non-Christian
Jews became unholy |
4 |
and it came to pass that the children, being brought up in
subjection to the law of Moses gave heed to the traditions of their fathers
and believed not the gospel of Christ wherein they became unholy |
|
|
| Believers
shouldn't marry unbelievers |
5 |
wherefore for this cause the apostle wrote
unto the church giving unto them a commandment not of the Lord but
of himself that a believer Should not be united to an unbeliever except
the law of moses should be done away among them |
|
|
| To
do away with circumcision |
6 |
that their children might remain without circumcision and
that the tradition might be done away which saith that little children
are unholy for it was had among the Jews |
|
|
| Children
are holy through Jesus |
7 |
but little children are holy being sanctified through the
atonement of Jesus Christ and this is what the scriptures mean. |
