### Faithful Translations
A faithful translation of Scripture is one that accurately represents the full message of Scripture as intended for the original audience in the original context. This means the translation has nothing added, misconstrued, or deleted from the original message. (However, the message of a Bible passage includes implied information. See [Assumed Knowledge and Implicit Information](../figs-explicit/01.md).)

The translators should consider these key issues to create a faithful translaton:
* **Biases:** A faithful translation does not distort the meaning in order to favor theological, denominational, cultural, or personal biases. As a result, it does not explain things more clearly than the original writers did in an attempt to promote a teaching that true Christians differ on. For example, since the Greek word for “baptize” does not specify how people were baptized, and since Christians have different beliefs about how baptism should be practiced, the term used to translate “baptize” should be general and not specify how people were baptized.

* **Key Terms:** In a faithful translation, key terms are translated in a way that is accurate to the original language texts. Reading the definitions of these terms in Translation Words will help you understand their meanings in the source text and choose accurate equivalents. As you check key terms and work with other translators to agree on specific terms, make sure you choose words that best reflect the meaning of those key terms and use them consistently.
