If not from the original languages, then from a translation that has the approval of its elders. Some Churches/denominations may leave that up to a session/consistory and some may choose to do so at a higher level. But why wouldn't the elders do this for their flock? How could it not but help the cause of Christ to identify which translation(-s) the elders find most faithful?What translation are they preaching from?
