• John 3:31-36

    • John 3:34 – The KJV supplies additional wording that confuses this passage. This is simply saying that those who were sent speaking God’s message had full truth – they didn’t only have partial truth to teach. If someone was filled with the Spirit, they were not filled to a certain degree. They were either filled or not. Ephesians 5:18-19

  • When used figuratively, “filled with” speaks, not of quantity, but of motivation. It speaks of cause and effect.
