“Nevertheless, we do think that even the most textually corrupted of our manuscripts and editions still convey the central truths of the Christian faith with clarity and power. In every age, God has given his people a text that is more than reliable enough to know the saving work he has accomplished through Jesus Christ.”
― Elijah Hixson, Myths and Mistakes in New Testament Textual Criticism

“God’s testimony concerning his Son Jesus Christ is truly abundant and worthy of our respect: the main thrust of what God wants us to learn never hangs on one single particle or word. The faith of the saints, accordingly, rests on sure and true foundations. But in the same way that a grain of gold, no matter how small, is nonetheless gold, so the smallest portion of the word which comes from the mouth of God is divine. . . . For this reason, whoever holds in reverence whatever comes from the mouth of God will be bound, in consequence, to seek out the most accurate reading of the New Testament Scripture as well.”
