Abstract

All three Romanian translations considered are sufficient for communicating the theological intent of the passage. Paul’s message of the cross is superior to the wisdom of the world. It was God’s intent to destroy all other wisdom in relation to his great wisdom of the crucified Christ (cf. Isa 29:14). While the world may consider it a stumbling stone or foolishness, it is the true power and wisdom of God. This, then, has affected Christians in their calling. They were neither wise, powerful, or of noble birth when they were called, and they are not this way before their heavenly father now. They currently stand in Christ who is their wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. This is so that they might boast in the Lord (cf. Jer 9:24). This overall meaning is communicated by all three versions.

Abstract

Church leadership is critical for the mission of Christ’s church in the world. God is not silent about this subject. Besides the explicit teaching about the leadership of the church, the Holy Scripture contains many metaphors about the church that communicate valuable information about the life and the leadership of the church. In this article we study the metaphor “Temple of God” and discover the richness of teaching about church membership and church leadership as well.

Abstract

It can be stated with certainty that the Calimach Code represented a combination of the local law based on the customary law, with the Byzantine law (the Basilicals or the Royal statutes), in fact, being used as well, as a main model, the French civil code of 1804 and the Austrian civil Code of 1811. The Calimach Code or the Civil or political Register of the Principality of Moldavia kept certain feudal features because it also contained bourgeois provisions, which emphasized the beginnings of the decomposition of the feudal disposal and of the formation, in Moldova, of the relations based on private property and on capital. The Calimach Code, together with the Caragea Code or Statute from the Romanian Country, was applied until 1 December 1865, when the Civil Code of 1865 came into force, which eventually became valid throughout the United Principalities.
