The Earliest Text of the Greek New Testament

A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses. -- Deuteronomy 19:15, NIV

The Earliest Text of the Greek New Testament uses the biblical principle of "two or three witnesses" to establish its Greek text. Using the free Westcott and Hort Greek text as a base, the three earliest extant readings for each Bible verse are compared. Any differences among the earliest readings are footnoted, even if it doesn't affect the main text. A two or more majority reading against the Westcott and Hort base text is changed.
