BIBLE
Lesson 5
THE TEXT
OF THE
NEW TESTAMENT
NOTE:
1. We no longer have the original
“autographs” of inspired men
2. If God’s written Word was to
be spread, COPIES must be
made from the originals
3. It would be natural for new
copies to be made to replace the
“timeworn” originals
WHEN COPIES ARE
MADE,
IT IS CERTAIN
THAT
MISTAKES WILL BE MADE
FOR EXAMPLE:
WHEN THE KING JAMES BIBLE
MISTAKES WERE
CORRECTED IN THE NEXT
EDITION TWO YEARS LATER!
IT IS NOT DIFFICULT TO
1. UNINTENTIONAL
MISTAKES
2. INTENTIONAL MISTAKES
UNINTENTIONAL MISTAKES
1. They are mistakes of the “hand,
eye, and ear”
