I know, but mainstream Christians don't exactly usually go and pick those up to read. You have a valid point, though. However, at the same time, translation, even if you yourself are reading through those texts and personally translating it, requires, to some extent, interpretation as to how some of the words are being used. It wouldn't be hard to mistake some of the meaning of the original text when attempting to translate/read it.
