I hold you in my heart

The Greek in Philippians 1:7 that is translated as “I hold you in my heart” is translated in the 2008 Moba Yendu Kadapaaonn translation as “my heart burns for you,” since a direct translation “indicates resentment towards someone and therefore the opposite of what is said in this verse. Moba has a rich metaphorical library using the concept of “heart” (pal) it follows very different paradigms compared to Greek, Hebrew and English concepts.
