1 Corinthians 12:3
#3
Keith Wrote:Paul,

What is the correct English translation of this verse, 1 Corinthians 12:3?

Specifically, is the word translated "Lord" the Aramaic word "MarYa" and is that word equivalent to the OT word YHWH? Should it be best translated as "Master YHWH", "Lord", or simply transliterated "MarYa"? Finally, is the word "Lord" found here the same word in verse 5?

I seem to remember a long while ago that we may have discussed that issue on this forum.

Thanks my friend,
Keith

Hi Akhi Keith,

Yes, that is the equivalent in function (but not grammar) of the OT Name YHWH. It should simply be transliterated, as it comes across as awkward in English no matter how you translate it. It is most equivalent in function to LORD (in all caps).

Yes, it is the same word in verse 5.

Take care,
+Shamasha
