G.W. Rutherford first translated the Book of Romans, in 1900. The title was'' St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans. A New Translation with a brief analysis by W. G Rutherford.'' So that was his first Bible epistle, translated. He worked on and finished four others. But Rutherford then died in 1907. His finished translation manuscript was left on his desk, some of it written in pencil, but clear and intact, and ready for press. Then in 1908, one year after his death, Rutherford's translation, of Thessalonians and Corinthians, was published. This was entitled ''St. Paul's Epistles to The Thessalonians and to The Corinthians - A New Translation by the late W.G. Rutherford with a prefatory note by Spencer Wilkinson.''St. Paul's epistles to the Thessalonians and to the Corinthians: a New Translation
- Google Books. Retrieved 27 August 2011. That volume contained four epistles. The entire work, both volumes, were combined into one volume in 1984, reproducing in facsimile the 1908 texts. The reproduction is called ''"Five Pauline Epistles, A New Translation, by William Gunion Rutherford"''.
