Position de l’organisation ou explication ultérieure : L’appendice C1 de l’organisation ne le conteste pas. Il déclare : « Aujourd’hui, cependant, nous ne disposons d’aucun manuscrit du “Nouveau Testament” du premier siècle de notre ère que nous puissions examiner. Personne ne peut donc vérifier les manuscrits grecs originaux du “Nouveau Testament” pour voir si les rédacteurs de la Bible ont employé le Tétragramme », et il soutient que les copistes, à partir du deuxième ou du début du troisième siècle, ont substitué Kyrios ou Theos.

In die Skriflig / In Luce Verbi, “Rendering the Divine Name in Romans 10:13”

2020 · pp.vol. 54, no. 1 · A. Tim Span, Stuart T. Rochester and Fika J. van Rensburg (Faculty of Theology, North-West University, South Africa) · AOSIS Publishing (open access); DOI 10.4102/ids.v54i1.2560

“There are no extant Greek New Testament manuscripts that contain the Tetragrammaton in Hebrew or Greek characters, and the multiplication of late Hebrew versions carries little weight. The Greek corpus of New Testament manuscripts and all early versions fail to yield an original New Testament Tetragrammaton, and the J versions offer little extra.”

A peer-reviewed, open-access article evaluating George Howard's 1977 hypothesis — the hypothesis on which the New World Translation's practice partly rests — through the test case of Romans 10:13. The authors conclude: 'An original Tetragrammaton lacks documentary and contextual support in Romans 10:13.'

Notes. The article is written from a confessional Reformed standpoint, which the site should say plainly when citing it. Its factual statement about the manuscript corpus is not in dispute among textual critics, including those who are sympathetic to Howard.

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition), “Appendix C1: The Restoration of the Divine Name in the “New Testament””

2013 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania

“Today, however, no manuscripts of the “New Testament” from the first century C.E. are available for us to examine. So no one can check the original Greek manuscripts of the “New Testament” to see whether the Bible writers used the Tetragrammaton. The Greek manuscripts of the “New Testament” that would have a bearing on this issue are copies that were made from about 200 C.E. onward.”

The organisation's own appendix states plainly that the case for restoring the divine name rests on inference rather than on manuscript evidence. It then poses the translator's choice: 'Will he follow the Greek text that uses Kyʹri·os or The·osʹ instead of the Tetragrammaton, or will he endeavor to ascertain where the Tetragrammaton would have appeared in the original Greek manuscripts?'
