Liberalism of George Lamsa
#1
Personally I greatly honor George Lamsa as great scientist but his liberality seems to
me too excessive. Although I often refer to Lamsa for excellent modern translations.
For example Peter 4:1 word 'dmaeeth'.


Not sure how to make Estrangelo fonts look right although I put everything into Control panel/Fonts.

1. Dr. John W. Etheridge's English Peshitta translation
Peter 4:1 - If then the Meshiha hath suffered for you in the flesh, be you also armed in it with the same mind; for every one who dieth in his body hath ceased from all sins,

2.Dr. George Lamsa's English Peshitta translation
Peter 4:1 - FORASMUCH then as Christ has suffered for you in the flesh, arm yourselves also with this very thought; he who subdues his body ceases from all sin;

3. King James Version (KJV)
1Peter 4:1 - Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;

Our modern Christianity life reflects what they read.My belief that not only excessive but normal liberalism is a problem in society.
We are dead for sin, we are dead through the body of Christ etc. are usual NT terms.
Just wonder why to convert "dying" into "subduing".
