All-Nations Translation Philosophy, Part 3 of 5
PRESERVATION OF THE MESSAGE
Due to the passing of time, the original manuscripts of the Scriptures are no longer available. Nevertheless, through extant manuscripts we have access to the complete message from God. The written Word of God was not lost with the autographs, but is intact, preserved for mankind by God who gave it. With this confidence we are committed to taking the written Word to the peoples who lack it.
