Instead, they should make them manifest. This calls for careful rather than capricious choice. It calls for a method which screens out prejudice and guards against bias. It requires a system which will serve to corral the intrusion of religious cant and cancel theological jargon. God's straight words do not need man's crooked crutches.
Careful writing requires careful readers.
Therefore it follows that to read badly is to falsify the writing which tells the truth, and is as reprehensible as to write badly and to translate badly. God's Word, which transforms by renewing the mind and motivates all truly meaningful activity, is laid down for us in a pattern of sound words. These words are accurate, reliable, authentic and inspired. If we will not go beyond what is written in the Word we cannot be accused of being fanatics or obscurantists. If we will go as far as what is written in the Word in any of the fields of which the Scriptures teach and treat, we are always abreast, if not ahead, of man.
