00:00:00.000 | Hi, I'm here with Abner Chow, the lead translator for the LSB.
00:00:03.480 | Abner, how's Shepherds Conference going for you?
00:00:05.800 | Ah, Gary, thanks for meeting with me.
00:00:08.120 | Yeah, it's, it's such a blessing.
00:00:09.760 | I'm so encouraged to see so many pastors all together, fellowshipping, celebrating
00:00:16.800 | the Lord and encouraging each other.
00:00:18.960 | And for me personally, not only is that encouraging, but the opportunity to serve
00:00:24.120 | them in so many different ways is such a joy to my own soul.
00:00:27.800 | So this is a very busy time and it can be a very exhausting time, but it's a time that
00:00:33.640 | reminds us and gives us a foretaste of the fruitfulness of what the Lord is doing
00:00:38.240 | across the entire world.
00:00:39.640 | And so that is a great joy.
00:00:41.760 | Praise God.
00:00:42.400 | And Abner, because you're the lead translator, I'm sure you get asked tons of
00:00:47.320 | questions, but what is one of the most frequently asked questions to you?
00:00:52.160 | Yeah, one of the most frequently asked questions is besides the changes of Yahweh
00:00:57.120 | and translating Dulas as slave, what really makes the LSB so unique?
00:01:02.440 | Well, why did you guys do it and, and why are those other kinds of changes
00:01:06.840 | significant?
00:01:07.560 | And of course, we often talk about the issue of consistency and for pastors who are
00:01:12.800 | going through the word of God and they're pointing things out.
00:01:16.200 | Even John Piper did this in his recent message where he, or in the Q&A, where he
00:01:21.360 | said, look, Paul says those who loved Christ's coming, and then a verse or two
00:01:26.680 | later, Demas loved this present age.
00:01:29.720 | And people all just said, Oh, because they made the connection in the text.
00:01:33.680 | And what our job is, is to make sure that those kinds of connections can be easily
00:01:38.640 | facilitated all over scripture because we're consistent.
00:01:42.280 | Awesome.
00:01:43.320 | Thank you Abner for your time.
