I'm trying to find the exact chapter and verse. It is quite different - seems the issue was whether he was referring to communities or individuals. French can be tricky, and I'm no linguist.
What is the source for this quote? It doesn't seem to appear elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteIf this is a modern translation, what is the traditional translation?
