" These are the things that the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God:" Rv3:14
 Quoting: DGN


God's creating a family, of which Christ is the head according to scripture, and likewise there being salvation only through the atonement he achieved on sinful mankind's behalf, therefore He was the beginning of that creation (the church). Notice the text doesn't say Jesus was created, but that he was the beginning of the creation. This can be the only logical interpretation in light of other scriptures which indicate he eternally existed (Isaiah 9:6-7, Hebrews 7:3, Col. 1:17, etc ). Scripture must be reconciled to scripture to arrived at the actual intended meaning of any given verse.

Also, just for the record, the new world translation is not faithful to the textus receptus, aka the majority extant texts (which because of their multitude will illuminate changes when compared to altered texts) which can be historically traced back to the primitive church, and apostles themselves. As far as Bibles for english speaking people, the KJV alone (and those which preceded it such as the Geneva, Tyndale, etc.) is faithful.
