<P> The New Testament part of the Christian Bible was originally written in Koine Greek , as most of the Church and scholars believe , and is therefore not a translation ( notwithstanding that some reference material may have been from Aramaic ) . However , like other living languages , the Greek language has developed over time . Therefore , various translations have been completed over the centuries to make it easier for Greek speakers to understand Holy Scripture . Translations of the Old Testament , which is the other part of the Christian Bible , have been completed for similar reasons . </P>
