This word is generally used to express the body of Scripture. Thus the Bible itself is said to be faithfully translated out of the original tongues, that is, the text: in opposition to what may be called human composition. And hence, the translation becomes a faithful one, being taken from the original text. The translation we have in English is among the first, if not the very first work ever accomplished by man, and demands the daily tribute of praise for it to Almighty God.
