Yes, John, I totally agree with you.
Dave, Thanks for your answer, didn’t know « to come » was added.
And indeed I find so much more scriptures corresponding with the « translation » word for word rather than the common one.
Romans 6 & 7 & 8 would entirely fit in it.
Peter’s letters as well.
And so much more.
This translating mess I found makes sense to me: it’s deep into the darkness (evil), or when we look behind us that we finally see Jesus, the Light. It is in trials we get to live the life of Jesus. We are not to avoid evil but to face it and then fight it by resisting and overcome it.
Ephesians 6:10-17:
« Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. »
