I believe that God can do all things and is not limited by any language barriers. He used men filled with His spirit to pen His words and I believe He has used men in the same capacity to bring it into the English language.
The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. Psalm 12:6&7
When anyone tells you that you have to go to the so-called original Greek you must question them as to whose rendition of this Greek should we then turn to?
There are many dozens if not more different Greek New Testaments out there so which one do we go to?
Some may recommend that you go to the popular Nestle Aland version but then you have to ask, why did they need to revise that 28 different times?
I reject the Nestle Aland due to it being rooted out of the Alexandrian manuscripts. That Greek will lead you astray as it did for myself for many years.
This entire issue boils down to the core problem with man's attempt to be equal with God in the realm of Bible translations.
Man literally criticizes God's word through the process called Textual Criticism.
The intellectuals that were indoctrinated in today's modern Cemeteries, sorry, Seminaries, will tell you that Textual Criticism is needed so we can best determine what God really said.
I have learned that Textual Criticism is really nothing more than the same ploy that Satan used in the Garden when he tempted Eve with:
"Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?...Ye shall not surely die..." Genesis 3:1 and 4
Well Satan was wrong and so are today's so-called intellectual textual critics....
