Bible Question: Why does the New World Translation insert the word Jehovah in the New Testament when there are absolutely no Greek manuscripts that have it in there? Isn’t this playing with the text? |
Bible Answer: Hi Radioman2, As you comment, Revelation 22:18,19 shows the seriousness of taking anything away or making an addition to God’s word. If the original had God’s name and it was changed with Lord or any substitute that would be seriously wrong. Likewise if it was not and added then equally that would be wrong. You be the judge after studying these 3 sites. By the way the translations that contain the Divine Name state that they have “restored” the Divine Name as opposed to “adding” it. 1) These two sites list several translations that use Jehovah in the New Testament.: http://hector3000.future.easyspace.com/yhwh.htm Also http://hector3000.future.easyspace.com/jhvh.htm 2)This site contains information that explains why Jehovah appears in the New Testament of the NWT. http://jehovah.to/exegesis/ntstudies/yhwhnt.htm 3) In this site appears the appendix of the NWT with explanation: http://jehovah.to/exegesis/translation/nwterrors.htm Truthfinder |
