As Bible publishers, we are each responsible to market and sell our
respective translations. In doing so, we expect to promote the strengths
and advantages of our own translation(s), and sometimes it is helpful
to compare our translation(s) with others. But we recognize that there
are certain parameters outside of which it is inappropriate for us to
operate. Accordingly, we, the undersigned, voluntarily accept the
following statement of Bible marketing ethics:
In all aspects of our Bible advertising and marketing, we will strive to
be truthful in the statements we make and respectful in how we make
them. Statistics or other numerical data in Bible advertising will show
attribution to the source. When making distinctions about our respective
Bible translations and products, we will not make derogatory statements
about any particular philosophy of Bible translation, impugn the
motives of Bible translation teams, or maliciously discredit any
specific Bible translation, scholar, or publisher. Instead, in all our
discussions about differences, we will speak the truth in love, try to
do what is honorable before the Lord, and treat each other as we would
want to be treated.
