Psalm 68:11 says, "The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it."
John 17:14a says, "I have given them thy word".
1 Thess. 2:13 says, "For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe."
From these verses and many others we can conclude that the Word is single (one), not plural (many), and we can see that God has promised to get one Word to us today.
"For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God" (2 Cor. 2:17a). There are corrupters around, so we could not just accept anything as "the Word of God", but must see that there is the true, and that there are those which are of the error and corruption.
