Bible Question (short): On earth in earth |
Question (full): Hi Tim, Question for you about Greek prepositions. KJV Mat 6:10 "...Thy will be done in (epi) earth, as it is in (en) heaven. Could you explain the two usages of the word "in" in the above Scripture? Some translations use "on earth". The use of "on earth" seems to have an implication towards planetary or spherical and is impersonal compared to "in earth" which has an implication towards man, flesh, which is directly personal. Jesus always related the difference between flesh and spirit and here in the Lord's prayer I see the term "in earth" (flesh) as it is "in heaven" (spirit). Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Thanks, Your brother, terrib |
