Conclusion

In concluding this section of the review, let it be borne in mind that the author’s chief purpose in these three chapters is to discredit the Revised Versions by proofs from the Scriptures themselves. He essays to show that the translation is mutilated, manipulated, Romanized, Modernized, to such an extent that it constitutes a “systematic depravation” of the Scriptures, and is unreliable and unsafe for our use.RABV 119.1

But in the face of the foregoing examination of the Scriptures brought forward by the author to prove his contention, it does not seem possible for a reasoning and unbiased mind to draw any other conclusion than the following:RABV 119.2

1. The contention of the author must stand or fall on whether he proves or fails to prove by an examination of the Scriptures themselves that the Revised translation has been governed by and shows evidence of a sinister purpose so to wrest the Scriptures as to make them teach biased theological views of the translators, rather than to reveal fidelity to the best authenticated Greek texts that time and scholarly, painstaking research have brought to light in the past three centuries.RABV 119.3

2. Viewed in this light, and in the light of the facts presented in the examination itself, the author has utterly failed in the acid test of proving his contention by the results actually seen in the Revised translations submitted in evidence.RABV 119.4
