Hard job

Do you want to know the one person in history that I do not envy? It has to be Martin Luther. He took it upon himself to decode the bible, line by line, verse by verse, so that the average person could read and study it. It was a huge undertaking, because sometimes a group of words might translate to just a single word, but still have all that meaning behind it. Take for instance the verse at 3John 2 that reads "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. (NKJV)". Now, in the English language the word "prosper" means "to be successful or fortunate, esp. in financial respects; thrive; flourish.". However, looking at the study of the Greek word it was translated from, it means to have a good journey, with physical and spiritual health. This means that this verse is not really talking about financial success, but instead it is saying to the intended to have a good, safe, and healthy journey throughout your life, even as your soul has a good and safe journey to heaven. Finding out stuff like that just blows my mind, and gives me a better understanding.
