The Eleventh Step. . .It's One of the Twelve

WILL THE MEEK really inherit the earth? Probably not, say a number of scholars, who feel, this familiar quote is the product of an incorrect translation. In their view, the Greek word praos, which was translated "meek," should have been rendered as "trained" or "disciplined," which gives a totally different meaning to the sentence. This fits in with my experience in working the AA program, which brings disciplined direction to my life, resulting in greater simplicity and the ability to live each day more effectively.
