Romans 5:14 and Mar Aphrahat
#1
Shlama Akhay,

In Mar Aphrahat's 22nd Demonstration ("Of Death and The Latter Times"), we read a direct quote from the Peshitta of Romans 5:14:

Mar Aphrahat Wrote:[font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]0xyl4 rm0d Ky0
04wml 0md9w Md0 Nm Fwm Klm0d
w=x fd Nyly0 L9 P0w[/font]


Transliteration:
Aykh d'emar Shlikha:
d'amlekh mowtha men wAdam w'adma l'Moshe
w'ap al aylyn d'la khaTaw

Translation:
As the Apostle said, that "Death ruled from Adam unto Moses" and "even over those who sinned not."

Peshitta Wrote:[font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]04wml 0md9w Md0 Nm Fwm Klm0
w=x fd Nyly0 L9 P0[/font]


Transliteration:
amlekh mowtha men wAdam w'adma l'Moshe
ap al aylyn d'la khaTaw

Translation:
"Death ruled from Adam unto Moses, even over those who sinned not."

As you can see, this is 100% verbatim the reading of the Peshitta. Pretty impressive for a "version" that wasn't supposed to be around when he was alive, no? <!-- sWink --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/wink1.gif" alt="Wink" title="Wink" /><!-- sWink -->
