GREEK BYZANTINE/MAJORITY TEXT - Ver.1.0
The Greek New Testament (Byzantine/Majority Textform)
as edited by William G. Pierpont and Maurice A. Robinson
(c)1990, Maurice A. Robinson, Ph.D.
Released as FREEWARE by the copyright holder;
not to be sold for profit.
The enclosed files have been carefully proofread and contain no known
typing errors. Absolute perfection, however, can never be claimed
for a work of this nature. The computer or printer output should be
checked carefully against both the Stephens 1550 Textus Receptus
edition as found in the Berry Interlinear (used as the initial source
text) as well as the Hodges/Farstad Majority Text edition (which most
closely approximates the present text). Textual differences from
either Berry or Hodges/Farstad should be verified primarily from the
apparatus in the Hodges/Farstad edition as well as the apparatus of the
Von Soden edition (see the bibliography concluding BYZTXT.DOC).
Note that faint, broken, or missing type in Berry's Interlinear may
often be misread or misinterpreted by the reader. Also, comparison
should NOT be made against the edition of the United Bible Societies
or the various Nestle editions; these texts do NOT generally agree
with the Byzantine/Majority Textform, since they follow what is known
as an "Alexandrian" rather than a "Byzantine" type of Greek text.
For the full introduction, see BYZTXT.DOC, which accompanies this set.
