Updates and errata

The Greek text on this site carries a great deal more than words. Every word is tagged with its grammatical parsing and linked to a dictionary entry, and the English parallel is matched to it verse by verse. Between them that is a few million small pieces of information, drawn from several different scholarly sources.

Sometimes there are mistakes. A word may be linked to the wrong dictionary entry, or a definition may cite the wrong verse. These are corrected as they come to light, and the site is updated from time to time.

Many corrections have started with someone reading a passage and noticing that a word did not look right. If you spot something, the form below is the place to say so.

Things that can look wrong but aren't

  • Dictionary entries are not translations. A gloss describes the word in general, not the form in front of you. Verbs are listed in the first person, as “I loose”, the way a printed lexicon does, whatever person and tense the word actually is in the verse.
  • Some familiar verse numbers are absent. This site follows the modern critical editions of the Greek New Testament. A number of verses known from the King James tradition are not part of that text, so nothing is printed at those numbers and the verse pages say so.
  • The English will not line up word for word. The parallel text is the World English Bible, which rests on a different family of manuscripts. Sentences sometimes run across a different verse boundary, and a phrase may appear that has no counterpart in the Greek.
  • Accents and spelling follow the critical editions. Breathing marks, accent placement and the spelling of proper names follow the printed scholarly text, which can differ from older editions and from other websites.
