Are You a Sincere Searcher for Eternal, Life-giving Truth?

"Do you desire an accurate (1) understanding of the faith-inspiring Greek Scriptures? An understanding that will not be confused by sectarian, denominational religious teachings. An understanding that is fortified by the knowledge of what the ORIGINAL LANGUAGE says and means.” Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures (KIT), A WT Bible, page 5. If you do not have a copy of the KIT, download a FREE copy here. Read the 1^st Paragraph from Page 5 which I have placed below.

"To aid such sincere seekers of truth and life is the purpose (2) behind the publishing of the Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures." 

KINGDOM INTERLINEAR TRANSLATION OF THE GREEK SCRIPTURES 
                                                                 Page 5

How does the KIT aid seekers of truth? It (KIT) "opens up (3) to the student of the Sacred Scriptures what the original koine Greek literally says, WITHOUT any sectarian religious coloration."

How does the KIT accomplish this? Read Paragraph #2 from Page 5 then look at any page from the KIT. On the broad left-hand column (4) is the original koine Greek text and above each Greek word is the English Translation. On the slim right-hand column (5) is the New World Translation (NWT). "The word for word KIT and the NWT are arranged parallel (across from each other) on the page, so that comparisons can be made between the two reading and the accuracy of any modern translation can be determined (6)." Reader's Digest Version: Read the Greek—then read the English translation—if they do not agree, the English is INACCURATE and is the product of Religious coloration, i.e. Religious Bias. The translators are not interested in the truth but only in substantiating their brand of "TRUTH."

Look at these two examples and decide—is the NWT a Faithful Translation or an Inaccurate Translation of the Greek Scriptures.

EXAMPLE #1. Colossians 1:16-17

Colossians 1:16-17 read from the Left side, the Greek side, the God inspired side. "Because in him it was created the all (things) in the heavens and upon the earth, the (things) visible and the (things) invisible, whether thrones or lordships of governments or authorities: the all (things) through him and into him it has been created and he is before all (things) and the all (things) in him it has stood together."

The WT's translation committee read Colossians 1:16-17 and translated it this way, “because by means of him all (other) things were created in the heavens and upon the earth, . . . All (other) things have been created through him and for him. Also, he is before all (other) things and by means of him all (other) things were made to exist.” The Translation Committee added the word "other" four times. It is NOT in the original Greek.

QUESTION. A comparison can be made between the two readings and the accuracy of the translation can be determined. Accurate or Not Accurate?

EXAMPLE #2. John 14:14

John 14:14 read from the Left side, the Greek side, the God inspired side. "if ever anything you should ask me in the name of me this I shall do."

The WT's translation committee read John 14:14 and translated it this way, “If YOU ask anything in my name I will do it." The Translation Committee deleted the word me (see below).

QUESTION: A comparison of the two readings and the accuracy of the translation can be determined. Accurate or Not Accurate?

REMEMBER: Revelation 22:18-19: "I am bearing witness to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone makes an addition to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this scroll; and if anyone takes anything away from the words of the scroll of this prophecy, God will take his portion away from the tree of life and out of the holy city, things that are written about in this scroll."
