Best Answer

The Bible for Protestants was usually translated into whatever was the ordinary language the particular people were who needed it. For example, one of the first, if not 'the' first, was the German Bible of Martin Luther.

The principle here was to educate and to instruct people to know the word of God for themselves to give them tools to combat any and all errors and false doctrine from wherever it comes, both within and without the Protestant movement. The Bible had of course been translated into English even before the Reformation began. This was done by John Wycliffe who for this, and other things, was called 'the morning star of the reformation'.
