| | Examining Joseph Smith's New Translation of the Bible - Condensed Version |
 | | Kurt Aland, perhaps the world’s leading authority on the ancient Greek New Testament manuscripts, points out that because the early Christians had a great fear of losing a single word of apostolic Scripture, “every reading ever occurring in the New Testament textual tradition is stubbornly preserved.” |
 | | Often, after Joseph had received a corrected translation of a verse or series of verses, he would receive additional revelation expounding or commenting on the meaning of the new translation. |
 | | According to Smith, while they were working on the translation, God intervened, and gave a new translation to the text of John 5:29. |
