However, as explained in <a class="it" href="/en/wol/tc/r1/lp-e/1001070664/4">App. A5</a>, most Bible translations do not use God’s name in what is commonly called the New Testament, not even in quotations from the Hebrew Scriptures. Most Bibles simply use “Lord.” Yet, as shown in <a class="it" href="/en/wol/tc/r1/lp-e/1001070664/5">App. C</a>, some Bible translations do use such renderings as Jehovah, Yahveh, Yahweh, יהוה (<em>YHWH,</em> or the <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070664/28/0">Tetragrammaton</a>), L<span class="altsize">ORD</span>, and A<span class="altsize">DONAI</span> in capital letters (indicating that it is a substitute for God’s name) in the main text of the <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070664/29/0">Christian Greek Scriptures</a>. Some 17th-century editions of the <em>King James Version</em> have the rendering “the L<span class="altsize">ORD</span>” in capital letters here and at three other places where <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070664/30/0" data-bid="31-1" class="b">Ps 110:1</a> is quoted in the Christian Greek Scriptures. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070664/31/0" data-bid="32-1" class="b">Mt 22:44;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070664/31/1" data-bid="32-2" class="b"> Mr 12:36;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070664/31/2" data-bid="32-3" class="b"> Ac 2:34</a>) Later editions continued this practice. Since “the L<span class="altsize">ORD</span>” is used in the Hebrew Scriptures of that translation to indicate where the original Hebrew text uses the divine name, the same way of writing “the L<span class="altsize">ORD</span>” in the Christian Greek Scriptures would indicate that the translators thought that it is Jehovah who is being referred to. It is also interesting to note that the <em>New King James Version,</em> first published in 1979, extends this use of “the L<span class="altsize">ORD</span>” to all occurrences of that word when it refers to the divine name in quotes from the Hebrew Scriptures.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group index collapsible collapsed"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span
