12
Denen geoffenbart worden, daß nicht ihnen selbst, sondern euch zugut kommen sollte, was euch nun durch die, so euch durch den vom Himmel gesandten Heiligen Geist das Evangelium predigten, verkündigt worden ist, in das hineinzuschauen Engel selbst verlangt.
1 Petrus 1:12
This translation of the Bible was made by Leonhard Tafel, and published in 1911. Tafel was a leader of the Swedenborgian movement in Germany during the 1800's, and a leading Bible scholar. In this translation, Tafel followed the original Hebrew and Greek carefully, so as to preserve the inner layers of meaning that were explained in Swedenborg's exegetical works - also translated from Latin into German by Tafel and his sons.
