Church-owned Bible translation (COBT) is a paradigm for Bible translation based on the following beliefs about the local church. We use "local church" to refer to a community of believers who have the same heart language.
Church-owned Bible translation (COBT) is a paradigm for Bible translation based on the following beliefs about the local church. We define "local church" as a community of believers who have the same heart language.
1. **The local church has the authority to translate the Bible into its own language.** We believe that God's Spirit gives each believer authority and wisdom to steward God's word in his sphere of influence.
2. **The local church has the responsibility to translate the Bible into its own language.** We believe that God gives local believers the responsibility to evangelize and disciple their community. Translating the scripture into the heart language of the people is essential for Bible-based evangelism and discipleship.
3. **If the local church has multilingual members who can understand a Bible in another language, then the local church has the ability to translate the Bible into their own language.** These local believers understand their own language and culture in ways that an outsider could not understand, and typically multi-linguals already have skill in transferring messages across languages.
4. **The local believers are accountable to one another and to God for translating the Scripture** accurately and clearly in the heart language and for making it accessible to the community.
