Take time to think how many years have passed since the first translation of the Scriptures.
The original manuscripts were penned thousands of years ago.
Sometimes we don’t have English words that have the exact same meaning.
We rely on the translators who can understand the original languages of the Bible. For instance, “perfect” translates “mature,” in current words, translators say.
If we apply ourselves, we can understand with a concordance and a Bible dictionary. Many pastors help now.
