Sometimes I think just because a quotation of a book is written in Old King Janes English we think it doesn’t need to be translated. It’s English after all. But it does, the language sometimes of British England of old is substantially different from modern American English. And translation is helpful. Here is a beautiful quote from John Wesley that I hope to translate for modern American ears.
Glory thine attributes confess glorious all and numberless!” – John Wesley (in 18th century British English)
So here is my attempt at a translation of this amazing quote into 21st century American English:
“Every detail about Jesus Christ shows how massive, how amazing, how wonderful, and how perfectly Holy he is. And there are an infinite number of characteristics of him to know. …Let us spend our days seeking to know every glorious detail of Him, more and more and more.”
