After attempting to translate a passage directly from the GNT, I often use
an interlinear as a quick check. It seems to me it functions quite well for
that purpose (especially when I am translating over a cup of French Roast at
my favorite coffee shop), without becoming the crutch so many are concerned
about. I'd like to recommend the use of an interlinear for that purpose.
