The Word Study New Testament

---

The most fundamental fact about the New Testament is that its secrets are available only to those who are willing to obey what they find. "Believe that you may know" (John 10:25-28) is a basic teaching of the New Testament itself.
A second, balancing truth, is that although the Bible was inspired by God in its original language, we do not regard any translation of the Bible as perfect. All scholars and translators are human and fallible. A serious Bible student will often consult more than one translation to find what he wants to know. But unless he has studied Greek, the original language of the New Testament, he is forced to rely on the translators' choices of English words. Theological seminaries have long recognized this fact and assiduously require all students who plan to become ministers to study the biblical languages. While even that does not solve all problems, the person who reads no Greek at all often feels a bit left out. He may not be able to spend three years in seminary studies, nor have time to learn Greek and Hebrew on his own. Even those pastors acquainted with Hebrew and Greek are often too busy to make practical use of their knowledge. Eventually they may almost forget Greek and Hebrew completely.
