Mar Aphrahat and 1Corinthians 2:9
#1
Shlama Akhay,

In Mar Aphrahat's 22nd Demonstration ("Of Death and The Latter Times"), we read a direct quote from the Peshitta of 1Corinthians 2:9:

Mar Aphrahat Wrote:[font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]Mdm nmt yrg ty0
tzx f 0ny9d
t9m4 f 0nd0w
Qls f 04nrbd 0bl L9w
0hl0 By=d Mdm
hl Nymxrd Nyly0l
[/font]

Translation:
"There is the thing...
Which eye hath not seen and ear hath not heard, and which hath not come up into the heart of man, That which God hath prepared for them that love Him."

Translation:
"Which eye hath not seen and ear hath not heard, and which hath not come up into the heart of man, That which God hath prepared for them that love Him."


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 -->
