Interlinears

Interlinear Greek-English New Testament - By George Ricker Berry. First published in 1897. The KJV is in the margin. Two handy features of this interlinear are a brief Greek-English lexicon and a short section of Greek synonyms. Based on the Textus Receptus (Stephens' 1550 edition) but footnotes seven additional Greek texts, both other Textus Receptus and Critical Text type of texts.

Interlinear Greek-English New Testament - By Jay P. Sr. Green. Based on the Textus Receptus (F.H.A. Scrivener's edition) with the LITV in the margin. coded to Strong's concordance numbers. Excellent volume.

The Interlinear Bible: Hebrew-Greek-English - By Jay P. Sr. Green. Anyone serious about Bible study will appreciate The Interlinear Bible, which pairs Hebrew or Greek (depending upon the passage) in one column and English in the next. Word-by-word literal translations allow the reader to look up specific words even without prior familiarity of Hebrew of Greek. Coded to Strong's concordance numbers. Excellent volume.

NKJV Greek-English Interlinear New Testament - An excellent interlinear. The Greek Majority Text (Hodges and Farstad's first edition.). With a word for word and a phrase translation as needed in-between the Greek text. Plus, footnotes in Greek and English for significant textual variants. The NKJV in the margin. Unfortunately, it is now out of print and thus is only available from third party sellers, so it is rather expensive. But if you're a serious student of the Greek NT and subscribe to the Majority Text, this might be worth the money as it is the only interlinear that use the MT.
