Luke 3:6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God, is the version I’ve memorized and can type without looking. It’s another one of my favourite verses, so let’s look at the Greek etymology of the word (as it is from the New Testament, which was written in Greek)
New International Version (NIV)
And all people will see God’s salvation.
English Standard Version (ESV)
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
King James Bible (KJV)
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
And
καὶ (kai)
Conjunction
Strong's 2532: And, even, also, namely.
-> self explanatory, I hope
all
πᾶσα (pasa)
Adjective - Nominative Feminine Singular
Strong's 3956: All, the whole, every kind of. Including all the forms of declension; apparently a primary word; all, any, every, the whole.
This same word of all is also used in everything
Matthew 5:18 Adj-NNP
GRK: ἕως ἂν πάντα γένηται
NAS: until all is accomplished.
KJV: the law, till all be fulfilled.
INT: until anyhow all come to pass
mankind
σὰρξ (sarx)
Noun - Nominative Feminine Singular
Strong's 4561: Flesh, body, human nature, materiality; kindred.
will see
ὄψεται (opsetai)
Verb - Future Indicative Middle - 3rd Person Singular
Strong's 3708: Properly, to stare at, i.e. to discern clearly; by extension, to attend to; by Hebraism, to experience; passively, to appear.
Note the word “to experience”. It’s not just people seeing Christ wash away sins, these people are experiencing for themselves their sins getting washed away by trusting in Jesus with faith alone. “To discern clearly”
God’s
Θεοῦ (Theou)
Noun - Genitive Masculine Singular
Strong's 2316: A deity, especially the supreme Divinity; figuratively, a magistrate; by Hebraism, very.
Masculine singular, as in, Christ Jesus is a male, He is human, and He is the only way to Heaven. Believe in Jesus Christ with faith alone in order to be saved! That’s the only path to paradise! The only way you can have your sins washed away. And eventually everyone will walk down this path, as in, believe in Christ Jesus with faith only and gain salvation.
