Vulgate

=== Influence upon the English language ===
The Vulgate had significant cultural influence on literature for centuries, and thus the development of the English language, especially in matters of religion.<ref name=prince/> Many Latin words were taken from the Vulgate into English nearly unchanged in meaning or spelling: ''[[wikt:creation|creatio]]'' (e.g. [[Book of Genesis|Genesis]]&nbsp;1:1, Heb&nbsp;9:11), ''[[wikt:salvation|salvatio]]'' (e.g. Is 37:32,&nbsp;Eph 2:5), ''[[wikt:justification|justificatio]]'' (e.g. Rom&nbsp;4:25, Heb&nbsp;9:1), ''[[wikt:testament|testamentum]]'' (e.g. Mt&nbsp;26:28), ''[[wikt:sanctification|sanctificatio]]'' (1&nbsp;Ptr&nbsp;1:2, 1&nbsp;Cor&nbsp;1:30), ''[[wikt:regeneration|regeneratio]]'' (Mt&nbsp;19:28), and ''[[wikt:rapture|raptura]]'' (from a noun form of the verb ''rapere'' in 1&nbsp;Thes&nbsp;4:17). The word "[[publican]]" comes from the Latin ''publicanus'' (e.g., Mt&nbsp;10:3), and the phrase "[[:wikt:en:far be it#English|far be it]]" is a translation of the Latin expression ''absit.'' (e.g., Mt 16:22  in the [[King James Bible]]).<ref>{{bibleverse|Mt|16:22|KJV}}</ref> Other examples include ''[[wikt:apostle|apostolus]]'', ''[[wikt:ecclesial|ecclesia]]'', ''[[wikt:evangelical|evangelium]]'', ''[[wikt:paschal|Pascha]]'', and ''[[wikt:angel|angelus]]''.
