No distortion needed. Whatever you're looking for is in there somewhere.
If it isn't, just do like the Mormons or the Jehovah's Witnesses or Martin Luther...retranslate, choose different works, or make up new ones.
Fun facts! Martin Luther was known for his chronic constipation and made a point to jot notes on the can, so it is a strongly non-zero chance that what would become the Lutheran faith (Protestant first, yes) was spawned while he pinched one off or bore down in prep for the same.
Also, apparently bringing this historical fact to the attention of Lutheran church elders as a teen in the 80s-90s (pre-internet citation access) is frowned upon — or, so I'm told. 😶
