Hello,
I found this phrase in the following text:
"Some may ponder, ‘There are many heavenly host and angels in heaven who are nothing but obedient. Why did God go through the trouble of creating man?’"
"Pasar por el problema/inconveniente" o "se tomó la molestia" doesn´t sound quite appropriate, in my opinion...
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!
Blessings,
Elena
