Does English have precedence over Hebrew or Greek? Would a Latin translation have more authority? What about a Russian translation which may use completely different terms?

A very good point -- and which English version? Old English? Middle English (similar to Shakespeare and the KJV)? Modern English? Australian English? AMerican English? Modern British English?

Middle English (similar to Shakespeare and the KJV)? Modern English?

Just a small point: Middle English is Chaucer, Gower, etc.; to the linguists, Modern English is Shakespeare, KJV, etc. What we speak today is Present Day English.
