    HOW MANY LANGUAGES HAS THE BIBLE BEEN TRANSLATED INTO?

    The Holy Bible has been translated into 2,018 languages, with countless more partial translations, and audio translations (for unwritten languages). (This is an enormous amount of translations. In comparison, Shakespeare, considered by many to be the master writer of the English language, has only been translated into 50 languages.)

    "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16, NIV).

    Through Old Testament authors, he spoke in Hebrew, the language his people understood best. In the New Testament, he spoke in Koine Greek, the trade language of the 1st century. Today he continues to speak to many people in many languages, through translators.
