Description:Excerpt from A Critical Greek and English Concordance of the New Testament When the fulness of time had come, and the Gospel of grace and truth, the dispensation of the Spirit, was to take the place of the Mosaic Law, the language of the Old Testament had already become unintelligible to the common people in Palestine. Another tongue must therefore be selected, through which the New Covenant, founded upon better promises, might be made known to the human family. The Greek was then the choicest language of the globe. Copious, flexible, polished, and widely diffused, it had already done service for the Lord. Centuries before the Christian era, the writings of the Hebrew prophets were translated into the Greek, thus filling it with the aroma and energy of a divine inspiration, and sanctifying it as a chosen vessel to contain the treasures of eternal wisdom, and convey the truths of revelation to the scattered sons of men. But in the changes of the eighteen centuries which have passed since the New Covenant was given to the world, the Greek has ceased to be the language of a living race, and it is only by means of translations into different tongues that the gospel of the kingdom can "be preached in all the world." And in making these translations, obstacles and difficulties present themselves, which cannot easily be surmounted. If all nations possessed the same ideas and thoughts, and if each conception was invariably expressed by a single word, then, when once the different vocabularies had been learned, the work of translation would be but a simple, and almost a mechanical task. It might be illustrated by filling a thousand vessels of various forms and sizes with water, and placing beside them a thousand empty vessels of different form, but of exactly the same dimensions.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
