Subject: Originals? |
Bible Note: Tim: You're right. There is no manuscript evidence whatsoever. I see a lot of speculation and conjecture, but no evidence. The Watchtower organization claims that Jehovah "must" have been and "should" have been in the original Greek texts of the NT. But MUST be and SHOULD be do not equal IS. The NWT translates on the basis of what the JWs think "should" have been there. The KJV, NKJV, RSV, ASV, NASB, NIV, etc. translate on the basis of what IS there. "One need only look at the word-by-word English that appears under the Greek text in the Society's own Kingdom Interlinear Translation to see that the name JEHOVAH is not there in the Greek.'"
