The New World Translation, published by Jehovah's Witnesses is considered the most accurate translation from original texts. One notable difference between it and other Bibles is that it uses God's name, Jehovah. It does this in the over 6000 places that it was wrongfully removed. Also this Bible has been translated to not only be the most accurate, but also to make it readable using modern day language. It has been translated, in whole or in part, to nearly 100 languages. Many Bible scholars outside of the Jehovah's Witness organization have spoken highly of this translation. Examples include, Edgar Goodspeed, Dr. Jason BeDuhn, Dr. Rijkel ten Kate, Dr. B. Kedar. Also the popular game show, Jeopardy, made the claim that this translation was most accurate.

While this Bible is not a word for word translation, this would be very cumbersome as grammar from one language to another differs, it does make every effort to translate not only the words but the points being made throughout the texts. Both Hebrew and Greek are very specific languages translating into modern languages that may have one word with many meanings or only one word where their words were many to convey different shades of meaning. The New World Translation makes every effort to consider those shades of meaning and then word their texts so as to give an accurate portrayal of what the writer was trying to say. This allows for easier reading as well as the opportunity to better understand this most valuable book.
