# 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 or CC BY. For this reason, we are
|
||||||
|
forming our own text.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* The UGNT will consist of the following parts:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The critical text itself
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The textual apparatus which will list Greek variants and which manuscripts or printed
|
||||||
|
Greek New Testaments support each reading.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Strong's numbers tagging each word in both the text and the apparatus
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Morphological code tagging each word in both the text and the apparatus
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Volunteers are needed to:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Proofread the Greek text and apparatus to make sure that there are no errors.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Verify that the manuscripts and printed texts cited in the textual apparatus are correct
|
||||||
|
for each reading and variant
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Proofread all Strongs's numbers and make needed corrections
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Proofread all morphological codes and make needed corrections
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
