# Unlocked Greek New Testament (UGNT)
The basis for evaluating all translations of the New Testament is the Greek New Testament
text. As is well known, none of the original manuscripts of the GNT are available and thus many
scholars have undertaken to collate and compare the existing Greek manuscripts in order to
determine the reading of the autographs. These GNTs are usually referred to as critical texts,
since they are formed using the process of textual criticism drawing from many witnesses.
Many fine Greek New Testaments exist, but unfortunately are subject to either copyright or
licensing restrictions. None are presently available as CC0, CC BY or CC BY-SA. For this reason,
there is a need for a new text.
*An open-licensed, lexically tagged, morphologically parsed critical Greek New Testament with full apparatus. It enables the global Church to have access to the original texts of the New Testament.*
## Basis
The objectives of this project are to provide a Greek New Testament that:
The UGNT text is based on the [Bunning Heuristic Prototype Greek New Testament (BHP)](https://git.door43.org/Door43/BHP). See the full rationale for the BHP text [here](https://git.door43.org/Door43/BHP/src/master/BHP.pdf). Also, see http://www.greekcntr.org for more information.
- Is **free of copyright and licensing restrictions** (CC BY-SA), permitting the entire global Church to use and build on it without hindrance.
- Is **based on existing work** of excellent pedigree and academic repute.
- Is **morphologically parsed** and **lexically tagged**.
## Changes from the BHP
The UGNT text differs from the BHP in only a few respects, which are:
## Description
The text has been prepared by Alan Bunning. For manuscript transcriptions and a full explanation of the project, see: http://www.greekcntr.org.
UGNT will be morphologically tagged.
UGNT will be lexically tagged both to Strong's and the [UGL][ugl].
* Versification - The versification system used by the UGNT matches that of our [ULB text](https://git.door43.org/Door43/en_ulb). There are only two differnces here:
* BHP *does not* have 2 Corinthians 13:14 but the UGNT does.
* BHP *does not* have Acts 19:41 but UGNT does.
* Text - The text of the UGNT is identical to the BHP except that we include several verses that the BHP omits. The full list of verses that we include are:
* Matthew 16:3; MAT 17:21; MAT 18:11; MAT 23:14
* Mark 7:16; MRK 9:44; MRK 9:46; MRK 11:26; MRK 15:28; MRK 16:9-20
* Luke 17:36; LUK 22:43-44; LUK 23:17
* John 5:4; JHN 7:53; JHN 8:1-11
* Acts 8:37; ACT 15:34; ACT 24:7; ACT 28:29
* Romans 16:24
* Metadata - The UGNT text includes various metadata to mark the text which create links to other content that our software uses. For example, we add links to our [translationWords](https://git.door43.org/Door43/en_tw) articles where appropriate.

Must have at least one year (two semesters) of NT Greek
Must have access to reference works (software, print or online) which provide
Strong's numbers and morphological codes for GNT.
* Preferences (though not required):
Attendance at workshop for training (5 days/1 week) how to proofread and edit
UGNT textual apparatus.
Access to biblical software highly recommended (preferably BibleWorks, Logos

# PROJECT EXPLANATION
## An Invitation to Serve and to Invest for Eternity
Would you like to be part of a team that could literally impact hundreds of languages and thousands of people around the world? As part of our effort to provide Bible translations and Bible study reference materials of the highest quality, we are embarking on an exciting journey of producing a Study Bible, Bible commentary series, Greek New Testament, Hebrew/Aramaic Lexicon, Hebrew grammar, Aramaic grammar, Greek lexicon and Greek grammar to be translated into scores of languages around the world. These resources will be openly licensed and free for all to use. In order to write and develop these tools we are seeking a large number of volunteers. We are looking for mature Christians with a love for God's Word who will help us write these biblical reference materials.
There are still thousands of languages around the world which lack a Bible translation. An essential step in Bible translation is making every effort to ensure that the translation is faithful to the original Greek of the New Testament and Hebrew and Aramaic of the Old Testament. Also, tools such as a Study Bible and Bible commentary are ideal in helping Bible readers, students and pastors to better understand God's Word and communicate it to others. Because of copyright and licensing restrictions, these resources are not available to most of the developing world. We are writing these new materials and making them free and open so they can be translated into various languages around the world to provide God's Word and Bible study reference tools to as many people as possible around the world, in cooperation with the global Church.
## The Need
Free public domain resources such as Strong's Greek and Hebrew dictionaries or Matthew Henry's commentary are familiar to those looking for free Bible study resources online. Unfortunately, because most of these tools were written before the 20th century, they are of limited worth to serious students of the Bible. Advances in biblical scholarship, linguistics, archaeology, and literary studies make public domain resources such as Strong's seem out of date.
On the other end of the spectrum are the latest exegetical reference works which do reflect current scholarship and are of exceptional quality. These works are copyrighted and very expensive. For most of the developing, non-native English-speaking world, these resources are not accessible, both due to cost and the complexity of the language in which they are written.
What is lacking is something in the middle, between these two ends of the spectrum, which would be:
* Up-to-date regarding linguistics and biblical scholarship,
* Affordable to those in the developing world (preferably free),
* Written in easily understood English to facilitate translation into other languages, and
* Released under a license that allows them to be freely distributed and responsibly translated.
## Our Contribution
We are seeking to provide a forum in which tools for biblical exegesis can be developed and published online and as an integral part of Bible translation software. We desire to produce high quality materials, and we hope to tap into the vast community of scholars, pastors, and students and committed lay people who desire to serve the global church in this way. If you are interested in joining this community, please contact us and let us know of your interest.
For detailed explanations of our approach to meeting this need, please see the following:
* Our [Guiding Principles](https://unfoldingword.org/principles/)
* Our [Gateway Language Strategy](https://unfoldingword.org/gateway/)
* Our approach to [Bible translation](https://unfoldingword.org/translation/) and our [guidelines](https://unfoldingword.org/guidelines/)
* Our [current projects](https://unfoldingword.org/dashboard/)
##Our Values
We are about developing quality resources for the global church. This goal is guided by several values and commitments including:
**Volunteer Collaboration**
To create exegetical tools we rely on volunteers who are doing it for the love of God's Word and his church. We are looking for pastors, professors, students and mature lay people who are willing to volunteer their time and intellectual energies to the project. Depending on the project there may be educational requirements to ensure quality. A managing editorial team will supervise the work of all projects.
**Quality and Usability**
We want our resources to be a quality option that is usable by the global church. This means that we want to draw from relatively recent sources. While being very careful neither to commit plagiarism nor to steal from the established tools, we will work hard to make sure that they are trustworthy and produced with reference to up-to-date sources. It also means that the tools we produce need to be usable by translators, so part of the editorial process is limiting the use of idioms or difficult language, in order to encourage translation.
**Freedom of Use**
Our desire is to serve the global church, and in many parts of the globe Christians do not have deep financial resources. Our tools are made available free of charge and in a way that permits free distribution and modification using a Creative Commons license (CC BY-SA). This means that anyone can take what we produce and translate it, modify it, and redistribute it without having to ask permission as long as certain basic conditions are met. The tools can be used for electronic resources (such as with SWORD or e-Sword), websites, translationStudio, or in print.
**Fidelity to God's Word**
While we welcome collaboration, we want to ensure that our work is consistent with sound doctrine (see our [Statement of Faith](https://unfoldingword.org/faith/).) We hope many contributors with convictions similar to our own will find their way to our projects and volunteer, and we reserve the right to edit contributions which stray from the historic evangelical beliefs found in our Statement of Faith.
# VOLUNTEER JOB DESCRIPTION

We desire to produce high quality materials, and we hope to tap into the vast community of scholars, pastors, students and committed lay people who desire to serve the global church in this way. If you are interested in joining this community, please contact us and let us know of your interest.
