Question
i am searching for the corrct translation of "ONLY IN GOD WE TRUST" into latin,could you haelp

Answer
Hello,

The correct Latin translation for ONLY IN GOD WE TRUST is:

-“Deo solum confidimus”(classical Latin)
or:
-“In Deo solum confidimus”(ecclesiatical Latin)

Best regards
Maria
_____________________________________________
NOTA BENE (note well).

-DEO (IN DEO) = in God
-SOLUM= only
-CONFIDIMUS= we trust

Please note that the only one difference between these translations is that in classical Latin we must use the Dative (DEO) as in classical Latin the verb CONFIDIMUS takes the dative case, while in ecclesiastical Latin we can use the ablative(DEO) + the preposition IN.
