The Gospel: Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. He was buried,
and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said…
So it makes no difference whether I preach or they preach, for we all preach the
same message you have already believed. 1 Corinthians 15:3b-4, 11 (NLT)
The Tsara people live on 2 mountains separated by a wide valley. The translators Matt has been working with are from the eastern mountain, but for two weeks in March, people came from the western mountain as well to participate in a community review of the Tsara New Testament. Three of the 17 reviewers belong to the Orthodox Church. Those on the western mountain did not know some of the key terms, but they were able to find terms that both groups understood. Praise God! The evangelical Christians had all been using a term for “honor” that the Orthodox don’t know at all. They reviewed about 83% of the New Testament.
