OpenGNT

NA28 / NA27 Equivalent; Open Greek New Testament Resources

Open Greek New Testament Project

Open Greek New Testament project aims to provide a bundle of high-quality and open-source materials on Greek New Testament for biblical studies.

An eclectic text, namely "Open Greek New Testament [OGNT]", is first produced as the base text for the rest of the project. The text of OPNT is built upon a group of high-quality scholarly materials. This aims to provide all bible students or scholars a free text, which is the closest equivalent to the text of NA28, for studies or research purposes.

Main File:

"OpenGNT.csv.zip" is currently the main file for practical use. [Remarks: Unzip the file before using it.]

It gives users a quick access to the main text of OpenGNT, keyed to Tyndale House' extended Strong's numbers and glosses, James Tauber's morphology, and variant markers on nine modern editions of Greek New Testament (i.e. B=Byzantine, I=NIV Greek, N=NA27, M=NA28 where words are different from NA27, R=Textus Receptus, S=SBLGNT, T=Tregelles's GNT, W=Westcott-Hort, H=Tydale House GNT).

This text is currently the closest equivalent to the text of NA28, made available for distribution under an open-license.

File format:

• each word of the main text is placed on a single line.
  
• each line starts with an order number, followed by an unique OpenGNT id, book number, chapter number and verse number, separated from each other by a [TAB] character.
  
• the last column contain all current features in the following order:
  

1. Base WordID for for mapping OpenText.org Linguisitc Annotation of the Greek New Testament's data
   
2. ClauseID for for mapping OpenText.org Linguisitc Annotation of the Greek New Testament's data
   
3. editions having the same word [B=Byzantine, I=NIV Greek, N=NA27, M=NA28 where words are different from NA27, R=Textus Receptus, S=SBLGNT, T=Tregelles's GNT, W=Westcott-Hort, H=Tydale House GNT]
   
4. unaccented word
   
5. accented word
   
6. transliteration
   
7. modern pronunciation

15. BDAG catchwords
    
16. EDNT catchwords

    Enhanced features are gradually integrated in this file.
    
    Remarks: 12 lines in the file OpenGNT.csv are redundant for formatting the text of OpenGNT. They are inserted only for mapping OpenText's annotation data. Each of these lines starts with a OpenGNT id ended with a letter "o", ie. 140388o, 140395o, 140633o, 141933o, 141944o, 142827o, 143269o, 143417o, 146056o, 146353o, 146651o, 146655o.
