Parts 2 and 3 of the Translation Philosophy focus on the Scripture itself.
All-Nations Translation Philosophy, Part 2 of 5
ORIGIN OF THE TEXT
The Scriptures of the Old Testament came not by will of men, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by His Spirit. Likewise, the New Testament writings were God-breathed, were written by holy men, and are completely trustworthy.
The Bible reveals God to mankind, and also points to Jesus the Living Word who is the fullest revelation of God to man—God in human form. It is right for every person to have the opportunity to search the Scriptures so that they can be led to Jesus and understand God’s will. This is why God gave the Bible. This is why we translate the Bible.
