And also note that in the known classic translations into Ukrainian and Russian languages, the fragment of the letter we considered is presented as the words of the Apostle Paul, but not at all – as a dialogue, as we have presented it. Such a situation is due to the fact that the original text, which is written in Ancient Greek, contains no spaces or punctuation marks between words. How the translator understood the thought – so he placed the punctuation marks. Therefore, it is very important who translates the text, how the translator thinks (ecclesiastically, or pagantically). Because each translation of the text – is an interpretation (hermeneutics). An example of writing text in the original (for understanding, let’s give it in Ukrainian): “everythingispermittedtomebutnoteverythingisbeneficialeverythingispermittedtomebutnothingshouldhavethepowertocontrolme…” (or: cannot be pardoned). And we know that a comma misplaced: “to execute, cannot be pardoned” and “execute cannot be, pardon”. Put the comma in the wrong place, and the meaning of the sentence changes to the opposite! Such is the great responsibility – to translate the Holy Scriptures! We should not judge the translators who made mistakes or inaccuracies (as we just saw), but thank them for their titanic work for us. A perfect translation does not exist – therefore it is necessary to use all available. Now, thanks to the great achievements of modern biblical studies (the science that deals with the study of the Bible: textology, isagogics, exegesis, etc. – see Part I.), we are able to read the Holy Scriptures (we are now talking about the flesh of the Scripture) much deeper, more accurately than, for example, people 100 years ago, not to mention the time when the Synodal translation of the Bible into Russian was carried out (thanks to recent discoveries in archaeology, textology, the use of computer technology, etc.).
A person is whole – when he is in God, the Holy Spirit, that is, is the Hypostasis of the Church – the fullness of the God-man reality. Before the Incarnation, integrity was impossible. But when God incarnated – hypostatically united (reunited forever; resurrected, healed all reality; “I am the Resurrection and the Life” – says the Lord, so where Christ is, there is the Resurrection, and who is in communion with Christ – is in the Resurrection, that is, the Resurrection) the two natures: Divine and Human, – then Man appeared as a whole being in all fullness and glory. Death (which is a consequence of sin – is an incurable, by human efforts, disease) – is separation, division! Sin – divides: man from God, man from man, and man within himself (destroys, divides the indivisible Body, Integrity). Sinful death, intensified by death-birth (from the second phase to the third phase), – final (until the time!) separation from people and God. Here (in the second phase) we are separated from each other (we, sinfully aware of ourselves and looking at each other, see another individuality (in the sense of an object) – not another self, another I, but another being…), but we talk to each other, something unites us: views, ideas, religions, family ties, relationships, etc. and with death (transition from the second phase to the third phase) it all breaks off. Such a sad picture was before the Resurrection, that is, before the Incarnation. (If necessary, we can answer the question: “Why did the Lord resuscitate (by the way, all resuscitators – are “miracle workers”, resurrectors (in the pagan sense) of people; in the resuscitation ward in the case of clinical death (temporary cessation of existence in the second phase and transition to the third phase) and returning to biological life (in the second phase) the same thing happens that happened near the tomb of the four-day Lazarus, or in the room (= “resuscitation”), where the resurrection-reanimation of Jairus’ daughter, and others (cases) of resurrections-reanimations described in the Bible and in Church history. Resuscitation after death-transition (clinical or in the case of Lazarus) which lasts 4 min. or 4 days – is essentially the same action! Christ’s Resurrection (for which resurrections-reanimations are only icons) – is a unique event that happened for all and everything – once and for all!) Lazarus (from the third phase to the second phase)”? – Because He Loved him, and since there was no Holy Spirit in creation yet, then in the second phase was better than in the third phase. Otherwise, He would not have returned Lazarus if it had been better for him there, – God does not play games and show off – He Loves! Why then did He not return all the dead, if He Loves everyone?! – For the same reason, He did not heal everyone! Not to mention faith (and Lazarus communicated with the Lord before death-birth), which is a necessary condition for healing (“Because of unbelief, Christ did not perform (not “could not” – V.A.) any miracles…” see Part I.), I will say that He did not come to do resuscitations… The torments in the third phase are heavier than in the second phase. Therefore, the resurrection-reanimation of Lazarus – is an icon of Christ’s Resurrection, the return (“reanimation”) to the Divine, Paradise, Spiritual Life (with one difference – from this state it is already impossible to fall out, drop out – because we do not hold on to God, but God, having hypostatically united with us, holds us, of course, not without the consent of Man: “I am the handmaid of the Lord, let it be to me according to your word…”).
