Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gospel Key Words: Studied From the Original With Special Reference to Those Who Do Not Read Greek but of Equal Value to Those Who Do It is the aim of this book to aid in answering the question, What saith the Scriptures? When we discover what the Holy Scriptures really say, we are well along on the way toward their true interpretation. If we want to understand a message from the Lord, we must first understand the language of' that message. Truly the' Word of God is living and powerful, but we can draw upon its life and avail ourselves of its power only to such extent as we comprehend what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height of its meaning. It is to help enlarge such comprehension that this little book has been prepared. It was the habit of Jesus and the apostles - and the Bereans, to search the Scriptures daily. But they had the obvious advantage over many of us in being able to read the Word in the languages in Which 'it was J originally written, and largely too in the languages in which they themselves spoke and taught. We are obliged to study the Bible through the medium of a translation - an imperfect medium, even when well done. For example, a given word in English may represent from two to ten different words in the Greek, and a given word in the Greek be rendered by. Half a dozen different words in English: Since in translation only one word or phrase can be used in a given place, the meaning of the original may be left ambiguous, or vague, or be given a slant that is misleading. More than this, words that are clear often lose much of the Wealth of their meaning through the, transfer of ideas to another language. It is to help supply our own deficiency in the knowledge of languages, to help remedy weaknesses inherent in translation, and to enrich the meaning of words, that this little work has been prepared. It is fitting to add here that I was led to see the need of this book by frequent inquiries, in person and by mail, on the meaning of words and passages in the original Greek, and by numerous requests that I prepare something of this kind as an aid to the Bible student who does not read Greek. It is the latter class that I have kept specially in mind, yet if I can judge by my own experience in preparing the manuscript, the Greek student will find it equally beneficial and usable.
