Scripture experts! What is your opinion of these passages?

Question

Given the great knowledge of Scripture shown and claimed by so very many people here, I wish to have your commentary on the following passages.

τι το οφελος αδελφοι μου εαν πιστιν λεγη τις εχειν εργα δε μη εχη μη δυναται η πιστις σωσαι αυτον εαν δε αδελφος η αδελφη γυμνοι υπαρχωσιν και λειπομενοι ωσιν της εφημερου τροφης ειπη δε τις αυτοις εξ υμων υπαγετε εν ειρηνη θερμαινεσθε και χορταζεσθε μη δωτε δε αυτοις τα επιτηδεια του σωματος τι το οφελος ουτως και η πιστις εαν μη εργα εχη νεκρα εστιν καθ εαυτην αλλ ερει τις συ πιστιν εχεις καγω εργα εχω δειξον μοι την πιστιν σου εκ των εργων σου καγω δειξω σοι εκ των εργων μου την πιστιν μου συ πιστευεις οτι ο θεος εις εστιν καλως ποιεις και τα δαιμονια πιστευουσιν και φρισσουσιν θελεις δε γνωναι ω ανθρωπε κενε οτι η πιστις χωρις των εργων νεκρα εστι

Of course, since you are all true experts, you will need no mere "translations".

Answer 1

За чем использовать не понятный людям язык? Мы тоже не верим, что ты сам понимаешь то, что написано.

Библия была написана в древних языках, но всё таки Бог хотел, чтобы люди из всех народов поняли его слова.

Вот в чём смысль перевода.

Спасибо за внимание.

Answer 2

Yet translations are fine. The Septuigint was a translation of the Torah, and Jesus quoted from it. Jesus also quoted from it through Paul.


Remember, knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.

Answer 3

Sorry, my Greek-English lexicon is at home and I'm lost without it when translating. I depend heavily on my commentaries (written in English). :)

Answer 4

(I see that you're quoting from James 2.) We're not saved by dead faith, we're saved by LIVE faith: i.e. faith that continuously proves itself to be alive within us because we exhibit good works. Conversely, as Paul explains elsewhere in Scripture, we are not saved by works, lest any of us boast.

Answer 5

It basically says that your faith should not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.

Answer 6

Hoosier mama?

Answer 7

Does that make you feel superior?

Because it makes you look like an @ss.
