Week 34 - 1 Nephi 13: 24-41

Liebe Grüße! 

 

Es geht mir gut, wie immer und ich hoffe, dass es euch gut geht. 

 

This week was good. Not to much happened. Just missionary work, like always. 

 

Something that was cool is that I got a 1534 Martin Luther Bibel. It is so cool to compare it to the King James Bible, as well as the 'Einhetsübersetzung,' that the church uses here in Germany. The thing about these different translations, is that they all can get the same message across, but there are a couple words and phrases here and there that are either worded differently, or taken out. For example: 

 

Galatians 4: 7
Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

 

Galater 4: 7 Einheitsübersetzung 
Daher bist du nicht mehr Sklave, sondern Sohn; bist du aber Sohn, dann auch Erbe, Erbe durch Gott.

 

Galater 4: 7 Martin Luther Übersetzung 1534
Daher bist du nicht mehr Knechte, sondern Sohn; bist du aber Sohn, dann auch Erbe, Erbe Gottes durch Christus.
(not an exact quote because I don't have it with me, but pretty close)

 

You can see that they all get the point across, but different wording, and one translation even leaves out Christ's name. This is probably a big reason why so many people interpret the Bibl so many different ways. It is almost impossible to have 'one Lord, one faith, one baptism.' This is why the Book of Mormon is so important. If it is not the words that are in it (which it is), then it just gives us that direction. This is also a big reason we have apostles and prophets (Ephesians 4: 11-15). This is all explained in 1 Nephi 13 in the Book of Mormon.

 

The Book of Mormon is true. Joseph Smith was a Prophet. This is Christ's church on the earth today. 

 

Ich habe euch alle Lieb. Herzlichen Dank für eure Unterstützung!
