The Providence of Open Doors in Bible Translation

The image of an ‘open door’ in Scripture often denotes a God-given opportunity to proclaim and promote Divine truth. The Apostle Paul used similar language in describing Gospel work at Ephesus (1 Corinthians 16.9) and Troas (2 Corinthians 2.12), acknowledging both the privilege and the challenge inherent in such work. Similarly, today we see the Lord making a way for the Scriptures to be rendered into the languages of peoples who have long waited for them, or whose existing versions fall short of faithfully and accurately rendering the Word of God in its fulness.
