Debbie,

_Interlinear Greek-English New Testament: Numerically Coded to Strongs
Exhaustive Concordance With a Greek-English Lexicon and New Testament
Synonyms_ by George Ricker Berry is out of print and may be available used,
but I have no information about the edition used. It was published in 1981
as a paperback. Amazon has a used copy for sale for about $17.

Try _The New Greek-English Interlinear New Testament_ (Personal Size) by
Robert K. Brown (Translator), Philip W. Comfort (Translator), J. D. Douglas
(Editor), for $18 at Amazon. It is based on NA26 (the text is the same as
NA27), has a word for word, and also the NRSV in the margin. It will not
have the Strongs numbers. However, I seriously doubt that any non-electronic
interlinear based on NA will have links to Strongs numbers, since that kind
of tool is usually associated with evangelical editions of the NT, and these
tend to use the Majority Text or Textus Receptus. Now that I am aware of it,
I am ordering myself.

The publisher of NA also publishes an "interlinear," but the format is to
have the Greek text on the left page and NRSV on the right, like Loeb
editions, and this may not be what he is looking for.

The NIV is available as an interlinear. They use an eclectic text, more or
less based on NA. The price at Amazon is about $28. _The Interlinear
NASB-NIV Parallel New Testament in Greek and English_, by Alfred Marshall.
Also KJV-NIV and NRSV-NIV versions, same price.

While it greatly angers some listmembers here to see any mention of this,
the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society sells a very inexpensive interlinear
based on the 1881 Westcott & Hort text, which is the heart of the NA
editions. I have one at home and found the word for word to be literal but
basic, making almost no attempt to interpret words based on context or
position in the sentence, but that can be a good thing. He can simply ignore
the NWT in the right margin if he doesn't approve of it.

Respectfully,

Dave Hindley

Hello.  I am in dire need of some assistance.  My
brother-in-law is in prison and is very interested in
reading Greek.  He is currently enrolled in a class
and wants an interlinear.  I don't know anything about
Greek.  He wants a pocket size interlinear, New
Testament, numerically coded to Strong's Concordance,
and Nestle-Aland. ed. (NA 27).  Can someone reccommend
a good one?  I found one by Jay P. Green but it is
Textus Receptus.  Help!  Thank you.

Debbie Manrique
