Counterfeit Word
A word of Knowledge
On Counterfeit Word
I can do all things through Christ "who" strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13 (counterfeit bibles)
Not really!!
This is not what Paul is really saying.. according to the true Word of God.
One changed word -- "who" instead of "which", in God's preserved Word made such a huge difference.
This is a common verse that believers have frequently taken out of context and actually misunderstood it due to the modification by counterfeit bibles.
Let's look at the actual preserved Word of God in context:
Philippians 4:11-13 KJV
[11] Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
=> ... Paul says in whatsoever state he is in, he is to be content and then
gave the following examples in v12 the states he spoke of that he has learned to be content:
[12] I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound:
every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry,
both to abound and to suffer need.
=> ... and gave 3 examples of contrasting positive and negative states.
[13] I can do all things through Christ "which" strengtheneth me.
=> v13 is obviously a continuation of the train of thought in v11 and v12.
Paul is really referring to the states in v12 that he can do all those things through Christ and,
in being through those contrasting states and to be content therewith,
it actually strengthens him [instead of weakening him]!!
By simply changing one word to "who", it easily misleads the reader to falsely think that Christ will strengthen the reader to enable him/her to do ALL things without any qualifying conditions!
Now, what does your Bible version reads?
