c)Deeper Understanding of scripture
Considering the translation process helps me better comprehend the original meaning and context of the biblical text,leading to a richer and more informed Understanding of scripture.

Acknowledging the potential limitations and complexities of translation fosters humility in my interpretation and application of the Bible.
