Preface
This book contains a translation of the New Testament into the Arapesh language (Central Dialect). The language is also known as Coastal Arapesh. It is spoken by approximately 8,000 people who live in the coastal villages from Wautogik/Bogomatai to Kumunim/Sowom. A few of the people also live in the low mountains south of the ocean (Wautogik, Woginara 1 and 2, Sapuain).
The Arapesh language preface also explains the details of Greek Textual differences, cross references, verse identification, book abbreviations, etc. We give thanks to God for the many prayers and gifts of many people who have helped in the production of this book. In particular we thank God for the Bible League, South Holland Illinois, USA, who have graciously underwritten the cost of this edition. We hope and pray that this book will be used by the Spirit of God to lead many of the Arapesh people to faith in Christ and to build up those who are already Christians. We dedicate this book to God, whose continual presence and gracious enabling at each step has made it possible. We desire that it may glorify Him.
