Noah Webster's Version
The
Bible is the chief moral cause of all that is 'good', and the best
corrector of all that is 'evil', in human society; the 'best' book for
regulating the temporal concerns of men, and the 'only book' that can
serve as an infallible guide to future felicity. With this estimate of
its value, I have attempted to render the English version more useful,
by correcting a few obvious errors, and removing some obscurities, with
objectionable words and phrases; and my earnest prayer is, that my
labors may not be wholly unsuccessful.
