The continued spread of Christianity, and the foundation of national churches, led to the translation of the Bible—often beginning with books from the New Testament—into a variety of other languages at a relatively early date: [[Bible translations into Armenian|Armenian]], [[Bible translations into Georgian|Georgian]], [[Ethiopic]], [[Bible translations into Persian|Persian]], [[Bible translations into Sogdian|Sogdian]], and eventually [[Gothic Bible|Gothic]], [[Bible translations into Church Slavonic|Old Church Slavonic]], [[Bible translations into Arabic|Arabic]], and [[Bible translations into Nubian|Nubian]].<ref>On the Armenian, Georgian, Ethiopic, Arabic, and Gothic, see {{harvnb|Võõbus|1954|pp=133–210, 243–309}}</ref>
