That is a distortion not a translation." Īccording to the Februissue of The Watchtower, Jason BeDuhn ordered copies of the KIT for his students at Indiana University Bloomington, and wrote that "it is the best interlinear New Testament available". Mantey stated that the KIT "changed the readings in scores of passages to state what Jehovah's Witnesses believe and teach. Thomas Nelson Winter, an instructor of Greek at the University of Nebraska and former president of the Unitarian Church of Lincoln, considered The Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures to be a "highly useful aid toward the mastery of koine (and classical) Greek" In addition to the print version, the interlinear is also available in various digital formats. A characteristic of this translation is that the name Jehovah was inserted in the citations to the Hebrew scriptures in which the tetragrammaton is found. Various appendices provide information about the Greek alphabet and prepositions, maps of Palestine in the first century, and information about editorial decisions relating to the text of the New World Translation.
Marginal notes refer to various biblical manuscripts and Bible translations. An adjacent column provides the text of the Watch Tower Society's New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures. The interlinear provides Brooke Foss Westcott and Fenton John Anthony Hort's The New Testament in the Original Greek, published in 1881, with a Watchtower-supplied literal translation under each Greek word.
