God, by inspiration, guaranteed the accuracy of ____ of Scripture.

• A. the main ideas
• B. every word
• C. most words
• D. the original manuscripts

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is that inspiration covers the exact wording of Scripture. In this view, God guided the writers so that every word they penned reflects His truth, not just the overall ideas or themes. That’s why the best choice is every word. It expresses the belief in verbal plenary inspiration—that Scripture is accurately and completely given in the words we have. Saying it’s “main ideas” or “most words” introduces vagueness or gaps, which doesn’t align with the claim of precise, word-for-word accuracy. Even mentioning the original manuscripts points to the source, but the emphasis of inspiration is on the words themselves being God-breathed, preserved, and trustworthy in every part.
