What if a single Greek preposition could shake the foundations of the medieval Church? In this episode of Naughty vs Nice: A Christian Podcast, Todd and Laura dive deep into how reading Scripture grammatically accurate—yes, down to the tenses, cases, and conjunctions—was enough to send Martin Luther storming toward Wittenberg with a hammer and 95 reasons the Church had gone rogue.

We unpack the shocking impact of Romans 1:17 and that pivotal phrase "the just shall live by faith." Luther didn’t just skim it—he studied the original Greek and realized the Latin Vulgate had been selling a different gospel. This revelation about justification by faith alone wasn’t just theological—it was grammatical. And it launched the Protestant Reformation.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why grammatical accuracy in Bible study isn't nerdy—it's revolutionary

  • The difference between the Greek and Latin renderings of Romans 1:17

  • How one man’s obsession with Scripture’s original language changed history

  • Why modern believers should care about biblical grammar in a post-Reformation world

If you’ve ever been told “just read the Bible,” but want to know how to read it well—this one’s for you.
