Luther
|
Did you know that Luther inserted a word into the Bible? Specifically, he added the word "alone" in Romans 3:28. See for yourself. Romans, Luther's Bible: http://www.hti.umich.edu/bin/luther-idx?type=DIV2&byte=4456364 [3.28] So halten wir nun dafür, daß der Mensch gerecht wird ohne des Gesetzes Werke, allein durch den Glauben. [Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith alone without the deeds of the law.] See this German/English Dictionary translating "allein" to "alone": http://dictionaries.travlang.com/GermanEnglish/dict.cgi?query=allein&max=50 Compare "allein" with verse 3.29: [3.29] Oder ist Gott allein der Gott der Juden? [Is he the God of the Jews only?] Also, compare "allein" in James, 2:24: http://www.hti.umich.edu/bin/luther-idx?type=DIV2&byte=4812018 [2.24] So seht ihr nun, daß der Mensch durch Werke gerecht wird, nicht durch Glauben allein. [Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.] Go ahead, check your Bible. See if the word "alone" is in Romans 3:28.
