A quote, attributed to Martin Luther (but i don't have the details about that):

 "Without languages we could not have received the gospel. Languages are the scabbard that contains the sword of the Spirit; they are the casket which contains the priceless jewels of antique thought; they are the vessel that holds the wine; and as the gospel says, they are the baskets in which the loaves and fishes are kept to feed the multitude."

I find these metaphors of language as a container for Biblical truth especially helpful. What is it that they contain? The meaning behind the words. So anything we can do to unwrap the content and make it easier to receive what is inside must be a good thing.
