I agree that not all translations are worth the paper they are printed on. It's worth noting, however, that my post referred to the New Living Translation (NLT), but your post cited the New World Translation, which I've never heard of. In your first example Matthew 9:13, for instance, the NLT says:

Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices. For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”

Matthew 9:13 KJV

But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

NLT

Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices. For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”

Sorry, meant to add that it seems to me that the NLT changes the meaning.

Jesus is referring to Hosea 6:6.

“For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.”

Jesus is saying in Matthew, “*I* will have mercy, and not sacrifice.”

But the NLT changes it I want *you* to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.

That seems to be significant and illustrated what the other versions all have in common against the KJV, they denigrate the position and God-head of Christ.

New World (mis)Translation is ONLY used by the Jehovah's Witnesses. No Trinitarian church would get near it, it is considered “That” bad.
Another joke of a bible is the “Inspired” bible of Joseph Smith used mostly by the reorganized Mormon church. This is not the book of mormon.
