Every word of the Bible in its original
writings is God-breathedand
it is the only source of Divine revelation for the edification of God's people (II Timothy 3:16-17)
The Bible is preserved through copies of the original manuscripts (Ezra 7:11 cf.Jeremiah 36:22-32)
and translations from the original tongues into the languages of the current day (Nehemiah 8:8)
In the measure that copies or translations are faithful
totheDivinewordsin the original writings (I Corinthians 2:11-13),
they too bear the weight of Divineauthority as opposed to human
invention (II Peter 1:20-21)
