Translation of the Bible

The truth is that there is no security even in the most accurate and comprehensive scholarship without the teaching of the Spirit, if the subject matter be the Scriptures. Christian translators may often fail through ignorance of idiom; but a worldly scholar never can be trusted at all, spite of consummate linguistic skill, because of his necessary lack of still deeper qualifications. He knows not God and His Son, and has not therefore the guidance of the Holy Spirit in the intelligence of the truth. W.K.
