Author Description

I have always had a love for the Bible from the first time I read it. Accurately translating the New Testament is difficult since the Greek language, being rich in concepts and meaning, does not lend itself easily to a comprehensive, but at the same time readable translation. In these pages I have attempted to produce such a translation. The means I have used to achieve this is as follows: Imagine Paul arrives at your group, having previously sent you his letter. You say to him, "We got your letter. Could you please explain it for us." Then Paul reads through the letter a sentence or so at a time. After each sentence he looks up and tells the group about his motives and his thinking in what he had written in that part of the letter. His explanations, as imagined here, are still true to the original language and not a contemporary paraphrase of the Bible text. I gained a lot of understanding in compiling this translation, so hopefully you will also increase your understanding as you read this. Enjoy.
