Based on the Robinson-Pierpont Byzantine Textform 2005 edition of the New Testament
and the Westminster Leningrad Codex (WLC) of the Old Testament / Tanakh
Showing Textual Variations of the Received Text and Greek Orthodox Church Patriarchal Text of 1904
The simplest way to read the documents is to select the PDF editions where available.
For the Old Testament / Tanakh, the Hebrew is in HTML/Unicode and should render well on a modern computer.
For the New Testament, there is an all-in-one document in HTML/Unicode which should render well on a modern computer
(derived from the native font file).
The files are all less than 2.5 MB in size unless otherwise indicated.
For more details, see the notes below.

Extras
New Testament Concordance
The concordance is rather basic, as it is generated by a program in a simple way.
See description at the head of the document.
Old Testament / Tanakh Concordance
The concordance is rather basic, as it is generated by a program in a simple way.
See description at the head of the document.
OT - NT Cross references in WLC order.
Best viewed in landscape mode with the GGTEphesian font installed (see fonts page).
Be aware that if an OT verse is quoted in several NT places,
or an NT verse is quoted in several OT verses,
any one OT-NT pair may only show a partial correspondence.
Quotations are sometimes adapted somewhat,
or are better regarded as allusions,
especially in the Book of Revelation.
NT - OT Cross references in AV order.
Best viewed in landscape mode with the GGTEphesian font installed (see fonts page).
See additional comments above.
Parallel verses of the OT / Tanakh, side by side.
Best viewed in landscape mode.
Be aware that if verse A is parallel to verse B, and verse B is parallel to verse C, it does not necessarily follow that verse A is parallel to verse C (non-transitivity), because the parallelisms may be based on different parts of verse B. These are largely taken from Deuterographs by R. B. Girdlestone.

A few technical points to note in connection with New Testament files
The PDF files have rendered quite well, but some table rows break across pages.
(This is because the css page-break-inside: avoid property is not supported in the author's best browser for printing).
To view the DOCX files, you need to install the GGTEphesian and GGTAmos2 fonts.
To view native-font NT HTML files, you need to install the GGTEphesian font.
These fonts are obtainable from our fonts download page.
To view the HTML, Firefox or Google's Chrome and Internet Explorer v.9 are fine
- but not Internet Explorer v.8 - it does not handle our fonts properly, though you will still be able to read the English.
A few more technical points
If you want to save the HTML of the translation on your computer, don't forget to save the
style sheet
in the same directory as well.
If you want to make your own printout with larger text, edit this in the style sheet (e.g. to 110%):
@media print{
body { font-size:75%;
}
}
If you want to make your own PDF from the HTML, we suggest using PDFCreator and to print from Firefox.
If you print these translations, please be aware that they are subject to change and correction, as reviews are made. In order for you to see changes that have been made between versions, and mark them up, we suggest you save the HTML of the version you download, (even if you are using the pdf), and use a differencing tool such as ExamDiff (free) or ExamDiffPro (not free) from Prestosoft.
