Scripture is the generic word used to describe the holy writings of one’s religion.  Christians understand the writings of the Old and New Testaments of the Holy Bible to be scriptural.  These books were originally written in the Hebrew and Greek languages and have been translated into many English versions.  Though only scraps of the earliest copies of these documents remain, scholars have worked diligently to compile a complete version of the Scriptures in their original languages.
