Hi. The phrase 'Keep The Faith' is really important to me. I have been researching and have arrived at the following translation into latin. 'Serva Fidem' Is that correct? I also wanted to check that 'Fidem Serva' would have the same meaning, as I prefer the phrase this way. I have been led to believe that word order is not essential in latin as more emphasis is placed on word endings than order, is that correct? Many thanks in advance.
2 Timothy 4:7 has fidem servavi for "I have kept the faith", so "serva fidem" would work fine. You are quite correct - the word endings matter a whole lot more than the word order, so it can be "fidem serva" if you like.
