It belongs too much to His honour and glory for that. We believe He has providentially preserved His Word in the Massoretic Text of the Old Testament and the Received Text of the New Testament. He has ensured that a pure stream of copies have come down to us, and are faithfully translated in our Authorised Version. It inflames the preacher today just as it always has. This fire often seems missing in preachers who use modern translations of Scripture.
Sermons tend to be like damp squibs.
However, we must treat this Book as we would treat God. Someone once said, We should almost worship the Bible. I think we know what he meant. When any believer is heard to say, I know it is in the Bible, but . . . May we ever esteem the Word as we esteem God Himself.
