Biblical Revision / considerations in favour of a revised translation of Holy Scripture

The essay argues for a careful revision of the English Bible to correct errors and increase fidelity to the original texts. The author concedes attachment to familiar phraseology and anticipates resistance, then answers objections about loss of sanctity and the supposed plainness of Scripture, maintaining that greater accuracy need not destroy cherished language. He weighs theological and practical considerations, urges cautious, scholarly work, and recommends refining obscure or subordinate passages to make them more instructive while preserving core doctrines and the devotional quality of the text.
