The Ancient Words Greek New Testament provides a merged text derived from the Alexandrian and Byzantine textual classics: Stephanus 1550, and, Nestle 1904. Over 4,000 textual variants between the two text-types are clearly documented, providing a one-source solution for identifying the Greek variants behind the translation of most classic and modern English New Testaments. The Alexandrian and Byzantine texts, where in agreement, form a common base-text for the Ancient Words Greek New Testament. Variants between the Alexandrian and Byzantine texts are presented in-line without bias using square brackets [Alexandrian] and parentheses (Byzantine). Thus, both text-types are honored without prejudice, allowing the reader equal and objective access to two of the most respected ancient Greek New Testament base-texts in one convenient document. The Dodson Greek-English Lexicon by John Jeffrey Dodson is included in to provide concise definitions for most Greek words contained in this compilation.
