Sorry, wrong question earlier.
What Greek-English interlinear would anyone recommend?
Sorry, wrong question earlier.
What Greek-English interlinear would anyone recommend?
In College many of us had a Nestle one, probably out of print now, but the lecturer didn't approve, probably because he wanted us to read the Greek without any help from English interfering with our struggles to understand it!
I have a Jay Green's Interlinear Bible, but was told that the Greek Interlinear by George Ricker Berry is more accurate.
So it seems the Berry one wins!

The George Ricker Berry interlinear is the one you want. It is one and the same with The Englishman's Greek/English Interlinear (which I think is out of print now) and follows the Textus Receptus Greek Text from which the Kings James was translated.
There are others (The Diaglott, Nestles) but these follow Westcott and Hort's Greek Text from which many of the newer translations (NAS, NIV) have been made.
There isn't time and space to go into it here, but my witness is that you are wise to stay with the King James and the Textus Receptus.
In any case, Berry's interlinear gives you the textual variations at the bottom of the page.

I couldn't afford to buy an Interlinear Bible but I found this free Interlinear Bible Software which includes 3 translations, including the KJV, and it's awesome, and easy to use.
I was at a used bookstore and ran across the one by Jay Green at a decent price and picked it up. I've only had it for a few days so haven't formed much of an opinion yet.
His preface in the Bible makes it clear his opinion on "newer translations." :-D
