MARANATHA
American: our Lord has come
Hebrew Aramaic or Chaldee: maranatha
Clearly, the Koine Greek word is a transliteration of the Chaldee word.
Almost Greek: [Words in italics are translator’s additions.]
1st Corinthians 16.21: Here is the greeting with my own hand, “Paul”. If anyone not philei [love] the Kuriou
Jesus, the Christou [Mashiyach], let him be excommunicated. Maranatha!
[our Kurios has come!]
1st Corinthians16.23 The charis [graciousness] of the Kuriou Jesus, the Christou, be with you. My agape [unconditional love] be with all of you in Jesus, the Christo. Amen!
End of Thirty-fifth Lesson
