GREEK NEW TESTAMENT

Apparatus: Variant readings are given in the text in this presentation: | Westcott-Hort text | NA-26 text |
< > indicates a word where NA26 encloses only a part of the word in square brackets. Since this would affect the search tools, we use these brackets. The reader should consult the printed NA26 edition for the details.
[ ] indicates doubtful text.
RED: Text in red indicates readings, where the UBS editorial committee had great difficulty in deciding which variant to place in the text. Please refer to "A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament" by Bruce M. Metzger, 2nd ed.,1994, for the details. The difficult readings are indicated by the letters C and D. To find these positions easy, they are labeled with an asterisk, *.
