Excerpt from Reply to Dr. Boone´s Vindication of Comments on the Translation of Ephes; I: In the Delegates´ Version of the New Testament As a considerable time has elapsed since the translation of the Scriptures referred to in the following pages commenced. It may be well briefly to narrate the leading circumstances connected therewith. In 1843, all the Protestant Missionaries to the Chinese that could at that time be assembled in Hongkong, amounting to fifteen, and representing five different institutions, met for the purpose of taking into consideration the then state of the Chinese versions of the Sacred Scriptures; when it was resolved, to "submit all that had hitherto been done to a Committee, for the purpose of being thoroughly revised." It was also resolved. "That any translation of the Sacred Scriptures into Chinese, issued with the approbation of the body of Protestant Missionaries, be in exact conformity to the Hebrew and Greek originals in sense; and so far as the idiom of the Chinese language will allow, in style and manner also." It was further resolved. "That the whole body of Protestant Missionaries to the Chinese do form a general Committee, for the purpose above specified, to be subdivided into local Committees of stations, and that the work of revision be apportioned to such stations. When the whole of the New Testament shall have been thus revised, each station shall select one or more of its most experienced men to act as Delegates, it being understood that each station shall be entitled to one vote only, - and these shall be the final judges as to the propriety of each revision; after which the whole shall be submitted to the Bible Societies in Great Britain and America for their acceptance." Further it was resolved, that "the Bible Societies in England and America be requested to reimburse any reasonable expenditure which may be incurred by the brethren in making this revision." As it appeared to the Meeting that it would be difficult to find any term that would suit the views of both Baptists and Pædobaptists on the rendering of the word baptizo, it was resolved, "to proceed harmoniously in the work of revision, employing the talents of Missionaries of both these sections of the Church to conduct it, and to bring it to as perfect a state as possible; that, when this is done, should difficulties still exist on this subject, each section shall be at liberty to recommend for publication separate editions of the same version, agreeing in all other respects, and only differing as to the rendering of this term; and that the revision go forth to the world not as the work of one party or the other, but as the result of the combined efforts of the whole."
