The Word-as-Book-in-the-Spiritual-as-a-single-language, God's (Zeph 3:9).
(Always existing in Heaven).
The Word-as-Book-in-the-Spiritual-in-all-languages-via-God's-Translation of the
former (Psalm 19:3). (Always existing in Heaven).
The Word-in-the-material-embedded-in-various-texts (written in diverse
languages). The raw material of various scriptures (2 Tim 3:15-16) used by the
KJV 'translators' who were, in fact, also compilers (see Preface to KJV).
The Word-in-the-material-as-one-text-in-one-language (the 1769 KJV), The
Scripture-as-text (singular).
Therefore we should have:
The Word-as-book-in-the-material-in-one-language, The Scripture (John 10:35),
(reference the above list of extraneous items to be deleted) and then:
The Word-as-book-in-the-material-in-all-languages i.e the scipture-in-all-
languages.
The fact that the Word is the eternal God, who ‘preserves’ Himself forever
independent of Man’s writing, printing, etc., is revealed in 1 John 5:7. This
establishes the position of the Word in the triune Godhead of the Trinity in that it is
the Person (Rev 19:13) of Christ (1 John 5:7). As Christ, The Word bears witness
eternally in its entirety and is not dependent upon human preservation (1 John
5:7). As He (not It) is Christ (Phil 2:9, 1 John 5:7, Rev 19:13) the Word’s name is
above every name (Psalms 138:2) as is Christ’s (Phil 2:9). The Word is eternal and
pre-dates in our time the point at which the last word of Revelation as written-in-
the-physical existed and the time at which the Canon was set (Mat 24:35).
Although needing no preservation-in-the-Spirit the scripture does require
preservation-in-the-material and this will always be provided by God (Psalms
12:6-7). Again every word counts in this process (Psalms 12:6, 119:140, Rev
22:18-19). The preserved Word-in-the-material was obviously available to the
inspired translators of the King James text but this process of revelation was a
verse by verse rendition into English drawn from inspired choices, word by word,
selected from various texts (including varying editions of the Received Text) and
prior translations. This process can not be re-created so argument as to which
edition(s) of the Received Text should be used for future translations is pointless (2
Tim 3:16).
