New World Translation

Common card · No. 218248

The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (NWT, also simply NW) is a translation of the Bible published by the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society; it is used and distributed by Jehovah's Witnesses. The New Testament portion was released in 1950 as the New World Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures, with the first revised edition of the complete New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures released in 1961. It is not the first Bible to be published by the Watch Tower Society, but it is its first translation into English. Commentators have noted that scholarly effort went into producing the translation, but many have described it as biased.
