The Bible has been translated so many times, how can I trust its reliability?

2 Peter 1:20-21Above all, you must realize that no prophecy in Scripture ever came from the prophet’s own understanding, or from human initiative. No, those prophets were moved by the Holy Spirit, and they spoke from God.

2 Timothy 3:16-17All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

When it comes to Bible translations, it’s important to choose one that is faithful to the original text and clear in its language so you can understand and apply God’s Word to your life.

Isaiah 55:11It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.

Matthew 5:17-18“Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not even the smallest detail of God’s law will disappear until its purpose is achieved.”

Matthew 24:35“Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.”

I Peter 1:25But the word of the Lord remains forever.

Across every culture, language, and generation, God’s truth stands firm. We can trust His sovereignty, knowing He will always use His Word to draw us to Himself and to guide us through every season.

Isaiah 40:8The grass withers and the flowers fade, but the word of our God stands forever.
