<p><em>The Greek New Testament</em> is the 1881 printing of the Textus Receptus edited by Frederick H. A. Scrivener, a well-respected late nineteenth century scholar.&nbsp; The Textus Receptus (TR), also called the Received Text, is a printed Greek New Testament that is based on the vast majority of ancient hand-written New Testament manuscripts.&nbsp; This massive quantity of manuscripts is called the Traditional or Byzantine Text.&nbsp; The King James Version New Testament was translated from the Received Text.&nbsp; The TR was first published in 1516.</p><p>This volume is similar to interlinears, in that it compares the Greek and English.&nbsp; However, it differs with many interlinears in that it does not include a separate &ldquo;literal&rdquo; translation.&nbsp; Interlinears often include a new translation or a so-called &ldquo;literal&rdquo; translation.&nbsp; The implication is that the &ldquo;literal&rdquo; translation is more correct than the popular translation (such as the KJV), because it is &ldquo;literal.&rdquo;&nbsp; However, literal does not always mean &ldquo;literal.&rdquo;&nbsp; Most&nbsp; Greek words can be translated in various ways, so the word chosen by the translator as the literal translation may actually not be the best word in the context.&nbsp;</p><p>The KJV is a translation that has stood the dual tests of time and God&rsquo;s scrutiny.&nbsp; For over four hundred years, God has placed His stamp of approval on it.&nbsp; He has used the KJV and the TR for every great movement of world-wide evangelism since 1611.&nbsp; Even today, with all the new translations and the interlinears, the KJV is still a worldwide best seller every year.</p>
