A Completely New Translation THE NEW ENGLISH BIBLE NEW TESTAMENT
1 3 Y e a r s I n T h e M a k i n g This authoritative translation of the N e w T e s t a m e n t into living, modem English has long been awaited by the English-speaking world. It is a completely new translation — the consummation of thirteen years of devoted scholarship. In the modern history of the Bible it is a momentous event. A C o m p l e t e l y N e w V e r s i o n This N e w T e s t a m e n t is the first part of what is to be the N e w E n g is h B ib l e . It is not a revision of pre vious English versions, but a translation of the whole Bible from the original languages into the English we use today. It was inspired by the urgent and common need felt among the churches for a Bible not obscured by an archaic language but enlivened by a clear and contemporary vocabulary. P r e s e r v e s T h e M e a n i n g a n d B e a u t y o f T h e O r g i n a l L a n g u a g e It was a formidable task. The translators, set themselves to give a rendering of the original Greek texts which would be at once faithful, meaningful, and clear. The aim of these men was to grasp and convey the spirit of the original. They went back to the best Greek texts, and they made full use of recent linguistic researches. They sought then to render into living English the full meaning of the Greek. N o D o c t r i n a l B i a s The translation is not the expression of any denomina tional or doctrinal leaning; it aims to be in style neither traditional nor modernistic. It is offered simply as the Bible to all those who will use it in reading, teaching, or worship.
8 If we claim to be sinless, we are self-deceived and strangers to the 9 truth. If we confess our sins, he is just, and may be trusted to for- 10 give our sins and cleanse us from every kind of wrong; but if we say we have committed no sin, we make him out to be a liar, and then his word has no place in us.
