That is far from foolproof. The Gothic bible is already a translation from Greek, and will not match a translation from Greek to English perfectly. You may get a translation that translates the spirit of the quotation, but not the letter. The English translation might not even contain a word with the same meaning as the Gothic we are trying to translate! (Consider for example that Gothic uses a word meaning "trust", yet the English translation has "have hope" or similar. Not quite the same!)
