1 Corinthians 12:3
KJV
Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
MSG
For instance, by using your heads, you know perfectly well that the Spirit of God would never prompt anyone to say “Jesus be damned!” Nor would anyone be inclined to say “Jesus is Master!” without the insight of the Holy Spirit.
Modern Bibles reduce this litmus test from confessing Christ’s deity (“Jesus is the Lord”) to merely recognizing him as a master (“Jesus is Lord”). Ironically, in doing so, the modern versions fail the very test given by the KJV.
