In our hearts, we all have the right to Christ. But while this living Word, this Christ, should have a place in each individual, people have not preserved him in this place, have not perceived him. This is precisely what the Gospel shows us, that the Word was always there, that man could accept it and did not accept it. And further, we are told that individuals did accept it. There were always individuals who awakened within themselves the living Spirit, the living Christ, the living Word, and those who named themselves after him were not born of blood, not of the will of the flesh, not of human will, but they were always born of God.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"IV.

In unserem Herzen haben wir alle die Anwartschaft auf Christus. Aber während dieses lebendige Wort, dieser Christus in jedem einzelnen Platz haben sollte, haben die Menschen an diesem Platz ihn nicht gewahrt, ihn nicht wahrgenommen. Das ist es ja gerade, was uns durch das Evangelium gezeigt wird, daß immerdar das Wort war, daß der Mensch es annehmen konnte und es nicht annahm. Und weiter wird uns gesagt, einzelne nahmen es an. Immer waren einzelne da, welche in sich den lebendigen Geist, den lebendigen Christus, das lebendige Wort erweckten, und die, welche sich nach seinem Namen benannten, sind nicht aus Blut, nicht aus dem Willen des Fleisches, nicht aus menschlichem Willen, sondern sie waren immer aus Gott geworden.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":173,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/52/1904-01-04/p017"}],"english":["GA 52/1904-01-04/p017"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":173,"en_words":184,"ratio":1.06,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.02,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7261,"original_word_count":7118,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2025","book_title":"Spiritual Teachings Concerning the Soul","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA052/English/SOL2025/19040104p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
