According to Barbara Alland in her book on the New Testament, forty percent of the verses in the he various Greek New Testament documents (don't call them manuscripts) are signifcanctly different in that there are at least two significant words that are different. These differences are those that contrast the Majority and Minority texts. Clearly, the Minority Greek text is seriously inferior to the Majority (Byzantine) text. Except for the NKJV, all other modern English versions are based on the inferior Minority text. This is the result of the "Greek scholar" influence of Nestle and Alland. How bad is this????
