前言

此版本圣经翻译工作遵循的基本原则之一是：优秀的译文应该是完美的交流。译者所关注的一直是怎样象原作当年那样有效而自然地把圣经著者的寓意传达给读者。忠于原作的译文不是仅仅在字句上与字典一一对应。这是一个表达原作寓意的加工过程，其表达形式不但要与原作意思相同，而且能在今天象原著在数千年前那样言词中肯，引人入胜，激动人心。

所以，有效的传达对于本文的译者是至关重要的，但对传达的要求并未降低“准确”的重要性，而“准确”应理解为忠实地表达涵义，而不是在语言形式上严格对应。

圣经的著者，特别是新约的著者，用他们的语言风格表明，他们对完美的交流是很在意的，本中文版本的译者以其作为重要榜样，尽力用简单自然的方式把经文的涵义传达给他们特殊的读者群。他们使用的语言是一把为读者打开经文真蒂的钥匙，而不是理解经文的障碍。

为了帮助理解，本译使用了几项特殊方式。经文中晦涩难懂的语句后面往往附有简单的注释和同义词，这些解释性的语句在括号中用同义词表示，需要更多解释的词句则附以星号（*），并在页底的脚注中加以解释。此外，在脚注中经常引用经文语录并给出不同版本的原文。有些地方经文中使用了由上下文引伸出的字句和陈述，以使经文的意思更为明白，这种解释性的字句词汇以半括号标出。
