There are differences between the Protestant, Orthodox and Catholic Bibles. The translations of the Bibles are not identical because each individual Bible bears the significant imprint of the doctrine of the cult to which it belongs, also valid for the Orthodox Bible.

Example: 1 Corinthians 1:18. Orthodox: "For the word of the Cross, for those who perish, is madness; and for us, those who save ourselves, it is the power of God". Cornilescu: "Because the preaching of the cross is madness for those who are on the path of perdition, but for us, who are on the path of salvation, it is the power of God."

Catholic Bible: Indeed, the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God.

While in the Orthodox translation "salvation" has a meaning that implies a vigil, a struggle throughout life, in Cornilescu's translation we read about Christians that "they are saved" or "they are already on the path of salvation", in the spirit of the neo-Protestant teaching that salvation is completed, that it has a precise calendar date in the believer's life and that it is certain. Based on a prayer of acceptance of the Saviour's sacrifice, man would have Heaven assured.
