The latest, greatest version of the official Mandarin New World Translation Bible is now the 2021 Mandarin version of the Study Edition (nwtsty).
The existing Pīnyīn Plus web material resources based on the 2001 Edition, 2007 Printing (bi12) and the 2019 Edition, 2020 Printing (nwt) of the Mandarin NWT Bible will continue to be available, but they will not be significantly further developed. Instead, further development re Mandarin NWT Bible Pīnyīn Plus web material will be focused on the below resource that is based on the previous resources. This resource is in the process of being revised to match the latest 2021 Study Edition (nwtsty), with notes on each related page indicating where any material still based on older source material remains:
In the above resource, fully proofread Pīnyīn Plus web material is now available that matches many often-used scriptures in the current 2021 Study Edition (nwtsty) of the Mandarin NWT Bible.
Now, partially proofread Pīnyīn web material (more correct than computer-generated Pīnyīn like that displayed by apps like Equipd, and more mobile-friendly than PDFs) or more covering the Foreword and Appendix A4 (“The Divine Name in the Hebrew Scriptures”, referenced in the footnote for the Enjoy Life Forever! book, Lesson 4, Point 1) is also available.
The material in the above resource with a grey background has not yet been fully proofread, and may be based on an older version of the Mandarin NWT Bible. Pīnyīn material in the above resource with a golden-hued background has been proofread to ensure that it is correct Pīnyīn that matches the current version of the Mandarin NWT Bible, but not all of its “flashcards” have been added and proofread.
More existing material will be revised and more new material will be added in the above resource as time allows, e.g., as part of the process of producing Pīnyīn Plus web material for scriptures for other publications.
