Matthew 5:5 in original Greek "μακάριοι οἱ πραεῖς, ὅτι αὐτοὶ κληρονομήσουσιν τὴν γῆν". Word πραεῖς does not mean meak or gentle (Matthew 5:5 is typically translated in English as the meak or gentle will inherit the Earth...). Good example of translation losing the original meaning because new language does not have equivalent expression and instead of a word we need a phrase to carry the information. Proper phrase: Powerful,well trained to obey the master (implied God) and not do their own thing
