What is the meaning of “so” in 1 John in Luther’s Bible (1912)?












7















I am trying to work on my German skills (very rusty after years of disuse), and I am reading the 1912 Lutherbibel alongside my English Standard Version as well as the NA28 (original Greek).



In 1 John 1:6-10, the NA28 reads as follows:




6 ἐὰν εἴπωμεν ὅτι κοινωνίαν ἔχομεν μετʼ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν τῷ
σκότει περιπατῶμεν, ψευδόμεθα καὶ οὐ ποιοῦμεν τὴν ἀλήθειαν·



7 ἐὰν ἐν τῷ φωτὶ περιπατῶμεν, ὡς αὐτός ἐστιν ἐν τῷ
φωτί, κοινωνίαν ἔχομεν μετʼ ἀλλήλων, καὶ τὸ αἷμα Ἰησοῦ
τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ καθαρίζει ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ πάσης ἁμαρτίας.



8 ἐὰν εἴπωμεν ὅτι ἁμαρτίαν οὐκ ἔχομεν, ἑαυτοὺς πλανῶμεν
καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν ἡμῖν.



9 ἐὰν ὁμολογῶμεν τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν, πιστός ἐστιν καὶ δίκαιος, ἵνα ἀφῇ
ἡμῖν τὰς ἁμαρτίας καὶ καθαρίσῃ ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ πάσης ἀδικίας.



10 ἐὰν εἴπωμεν ὅτι οὐχ ἡμαρτήκαμεν, ψεύστην
ποιοῦμεν αὐτόν, καὶ ὁ λόγος αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν ἡμῖν.




The ESV (which I believe translates it well) reads as follows:




6 If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.



7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.



8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.



9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.



10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.




The 1912 Lutherbibel reads as follows:





  1. So wir sagen, daß wir Gemeinschaft mit ihm haben, und wandeln in Finsternis, so lügen wir und tun nicht die Wahrheit.


  2. So wir aber im Licht wandeln, wie er im Lichte ist, so haben wir Gemeinschaft untereinander, und das Blut JEsu Christi, seines Sohnes, macht uns rein von aller Sünde.


  3. So wir sagen, wir haben keine Sünde, so verführen wir uns selbst, und die Wahrheit ist nicht in uns.


  4. So wir aber unsere Sünde bekennen, so ist er treu und gerecht, daß er uns die Sünde vergibt und reiniget uns von aller Untugend.


  5. So wir sagen, wir haben nicht gesündiget, so machen wir ihn zum Lügner, und sein Wort ist nicht in uns.





As you can see, there’s a lot of repetition in this passage. My question relates to the way that the ἐὰν conditionals are translated. From my understanding of how they function in the Greek, the English translation of “If we say/walk/confess…” is good.



From my memory of the German I learned, I would have expected to see “Wenn wir sagen/gehen/etc…”, so I was surprised to see the “So wir…” construction. It’s not one with which I’m familiar, and due to the word “so” being identical to the English word “so”, I’m having a hard time googling it.



Can someone give me a resource that explains this construction?

    You should be aware that the German used in the Luther-Bible is often a bit old-fashioned or even outdated, compared to modern standard German. If you just want to read the Bible in German, go ahead, but if your goal is to polish and/or improve your German, I'd recommend working with modern literature/movies etc as well.

  • You can imagine it being a short form of "sofern", and could translate it as "so far as..." or perhaps "insofar as ..."; that may make it more understandable how "so" could have a conditional function.

    To elaborate on the comment from @Arsak, you are making a mistake when you are referring to a 1912 Luther Bible. 1912 probably refers to the date it was printed. The Luther Bible is to Germany as the King James version is to the English-language realm, except that it is about 200 years older than the KJ Bible. Martin Luther actually translated it in 1534, just a few years after Columbus. There have been minor updates since then, but only enough to keep it from being incomprehensible. Using a nearly 500-year-old text is probably not your best choice if you are trying to learn the language.

You're observing a rather uncommon meaning of "so" in German. This word can occasionally mean if. At dwds.de you find an overview about the many meanings of so.






  1. leitet einen konditionalen Gliedsatz ein



    veraltet, gehoben wenn, sofern



    Beispiele:




    • so Gott will, sehen wir uns nächstes Jahr wieder

    • warum sie, so sie mich wirklich liebt, kein Geständnis von mir braucht, daß ich ihr verschollener Gatte sei [Frisch, Stiller, 485]

    The last one is the proper reference. Why don't you simply delete the first quote since it has nothing to do with the bible passage.

The ESV passage




6 If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.




Is indeed rendered quite differently if you compare it to the recent version of the so-called "Luther-text" (2017)




6 Wenn wir sagen, dass wir Gemeinschaft mit ihm haben, und wandeln doch in der Finsternis, so lügen wir und tun nicht die Wahrheit.

7 Wenn wir aber im Licht wandeln, wie er im Licht ist, so haben wir Gemeinschaft untereinander, und das Blut Jesu, seines Sohnes, macht uns rein von aller Sünde.

8 Wenn wir sagen, wir haben keine Sünde, so betrügen wir uns selbst, und die Wahrheit ist nicht in uns.

9 Wenn wir aber unsre Sünden bekennen, so ist er treu und gerecht, dass er uns die Sünden vergibt und reinigt uns von aller Ungerechtigkeit.

10 Wenn wir sagen, wir haben nicht gesündigt, so machen wir ihn zum Lügner, und sein Wort ist nicht in uns.




Luther himself wrote it different than the 1912 version in 1545:




6 So wir sa [383a] gen / das wir Gemeinschafft mit jm haben /vnd wandeln im finsternis / So liegen wir / vnd thun nicht die warheit.

7 So wir aber im Liecht wandeln /wie er im liecht ist / So haben wir gemeinschafft vnternander / Vnd das blut Jhesu Christi seines Sons /machet vns rein von aller sünde.

8 So wir sagen / Wir haben keine sünde / So verfüren wir vns selbs / vnd die warheit ist nicht in vns.

9 So wir aber vnsere sünde bekennen / so ist er trew vnd gerecht / das er vns die sünde vergibt / vnd reiniget vns von aller vntugent.

10 So wir sagen / wir haben nicht gesündiget / So machen wir jn zum Lügener / vnd sein wort ist nicht in vns.




That explains two things: even German readers are now rather unfamiliar with this construction,

and an old dictionary even gives 1 Joh as an example for




wie conditionales wenn: […] 1 Joh. 4, 20; dafur jr sagen soltet, so der herr wil, und wir leben, wollen wir dis oder das thun

    You're observing a rather uncommon meaning of "so" in German. This word can occasionally mean if. At dwds.de you find an overview about the many meanings of so.






    1. leitet einen konditionalen Gliedsatz ein



      veraltet, gehoben wenn, sofern



      Beispiele:




      • so Gott will, sehen wir uns nächstes Jahr wieder

      • warum sie, so sie mich wirklich liebt, kein Geständnis von mir braucht, daß ich ihr verschollener Gatte sei [Frisch, Stiller, 485]

      The last one is the proper reference. Why don't you simply delete the first quote since it has nothing to do with the bible passage.

    The ESV passage




    6 If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

    7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

    8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

    9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

    10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.




    Is indeed rendered quite differently if you compare it to the recent version of the so-called "Luther-text" (2017)




    6 Wenn wir sagen, dass wir Gemeinschaft mit ihm haben, und wandeln doch in der Finsternis, so lügen wir und tun nicht die Wahrheit.

    7 Wenn wir aber im Licht wandeln, wie er im Licht ist, so haben wir Gemeinschaft untereinander, und das Blut Jesu, seines Sohnes, macht uns rein von aller Sünde.

    8 Wenn wir sagen, wir haben keine Sünde, so betrügen wir uns selbst, und die Wahrheit ist nicht in uns.

    9 Wenn wir aber unsre Sünden bekennen, so ist er treu und gerecht, dass er uns die Sünden vergibt und reinigt uns von aller Ungerechtigkeit.

    10 Wenn wir sagen, wir haben nicht gesündigt, so machen wir ihn zum Lügner, und sein Wort ist nicht in uns.




    Luther himself wrote it different than the 1912 version in 1545:




    6 So wir sa [383a] gen / das wir Gemeinschafft mit jm haben /vnd wandeln im finsternis / So liegen wir / vnd thun nicht die warheit.

    7 So wir aber im Liecht wandeln /wie er im liecht ist / So haben wir gemeinschafft vnternander / Vnd das blut Jhesu Christi seines Sons /machet vns rein von aller sünde.

    8 So wir sagen / Wir haben keine sünde / So verfüren wir vns selbs / vnd die warheit ist nicht in vns.

    9 So wir aber vnsere sünde bekennen / so ist er trew vnd gerecht / das er vns die sünde vergibt / vnd reiniget vns von aller vntugent.

    10 So wir sagen / wir haben nicht gesündiget / So machen wir jn zum Lügener / vnd sein wort ist nicht in vns.




    That explains two things: even German readers are now rather unfamiliar with this construction,

    and an old dictionary even gives 1 Joh as an example for




    wie conditionales wenn: […] 1 Joh. 4, 20; dafur jr sagen soltet, so der herr wil, und wir leben, wollen wir dis oder das thun
