translation question
#8
The original King James Version of the New Testament in English was based on the traditional Textus Receptus (?Received Text?) of the so-called Byzantine New Testament textual family. This was the Greek text used in the middle ages by Greek speaking Christians and by Luther, Calvin, and Tyndale. The current expanded and up-to-date version of this Greek text is called the Majority Text because it is the coherent text that is based on the majority of the thousands of surviving Greek manuscripts and fragments of the New Testament. The New King James Version is an excellent complete-equivalence English translation of the Greek Majority Text of the New Testament. The NKJV and an interlinear translation of the Majority Greek Text by a team of Greek scholars has been published (The NKJV Greek English Interlinear New Testament, Thomas Nelson Publishers, Nashville, 1994).
