The Interlinear NASB - NIV Parallel New Testament does three things for you. It sets the New American Standard Bible with its "literal correspondence" approach side by side with the New International Version and its "dynamic equivalency" approach, allowing you to easily compare the two translations. It directly relates Greek words in the Nestle's Greek text to their corresponding translations in the NASB and NIV texts. And it allows easier reading of the Greek New Testament.
These advantages offer you a better understanding of the Bible. This proven study tool uses Alfred Marshall's interlinear English text -- the standard, widely used literal translation of the Nestle's Greek text, 21st edition. A generation of students, pastors, and scholars has relied on Marshall's renowned contribution to biblical study. The Interlinear NASB - NIV Parallel New Testament brings it to you in a parallel format that will bring new depth, perspective, and insight to your Bible studies.
Great to be able to view the original Greek with translation beneath each word in the center column, then compare the New American standard on the left and the New International Version on the right.
The NASV is based on a formal equivalency - which means the translation stays as close to the original Greek as possible.
The NIV is based on a dynamic equivalency - which means the translation attempts to impart the sense of the text rather than specific word for word translation.
Between the three, one can hardly claim the scripture is unclear.
Excellent resource for understanding Bible translation that allows you to see the original Greek with the words translated word-for-word with the NASB and NIV alongside. Excellent Bible study reference.
