Hello Friends! I'm taking this up as my contribution to translation.

Here's what I've been able to do so far. I am taking the Bible verses in Science, Theology, & Medicine and translating them into two other Bible translations, Chinese pinyin, and Mandarin Chinese.

Here's what I've got so far for the heading quotes for Science, Theology, and Medicine on page 107 of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy:

Science, Theology, and Medicine

"But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ." - Galatians 1:11 (KJV)

Know this—I am most emphatic here, friends—this great Message I delivered to you is not mere human optimism. I didn’t receive it through the traditions, and I wasn’t taught it in some school. I got it straight from God, received the Message directly from Jesus Christ. - Galatians 1:11 (The Message)

Furthermore, let me make clear to you, brothers, that the Good News as I proclaim it is not a human product; 12 because neither did I receive it from someone else nor was I taught it — it came through a direct revelation from Yeshua the Messiah. - Galatians 1:11-12 (Complete Jewish Bible)

di4xiong1 men5 , wo3 gao4su ni3men , wo3 su4lai2 suo3 chuan2/zhuan4 de* fu2yin , bu2/4 shi4 chu1yu2 ren2 de* yi4si .

弟兄们,我告诉你们,我素来所传的福音,不是出于人的意思。

因为我不是从人领受的,也不是人教导我的,乃是从耶稣基督启示来的。

"The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened." - Matthew 13:33

“God’s kingdom is like yeast that a woman works into the dough for dozens of loaves of barley bread—and waits while the dough rises.” - Matthew 13:33 (The Message)

“The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with a bushel of flour, then waited until the whole batch of dough rose.” - Matthew 13:33 (Complete Jewish Bible)

天国好像面酵,有妇人拿来,藏在三斗面里,直等全团都发起来。

Below is information about pinyin from wikipedia:

  1. The first tone (Flat or High Level Tone) is represented by a macron (ˉ) added to the pinyin vowel:ā (ɑ̄) ē ī ō ū ǖ Ā Ē Ī Ō Ū Ǖ

  2. The second tone (Rising or High-Rising Tone) is denoted by an acute accent (ˊ):á (ɑ́) é í ó ú ǘ Á É Í Ó Ú Ǘ

  3. The third tone (Falling-Rising or Low Tone) is marked by a caron/háček (ˇ). It is not the rounded breve (˘), though a breve is sometimes substituted due to font limitations.ǎ (ɑ̌) ě ǐ ǒ ǔ ǚ Ǎ Ě Ǐ Ǒ Ǔ Ǚ

  4. The fourth tone (Falling or High-Falling Tone) is represented by a grave accent (ˋ):à (ɑ̀) è ì ò ù ǜ À È Ì Ò Ù Ǜ
  5. The fifth tone (Neutral Tone) is represented by a normal vowel without any accent mark:a (ɑ) e i o u ü A E I O U Ü
