The World English Bible uses the Majority Text for the New Testament and
the BHS for the Old Testament. The NET Bible probably uses the UBS4/NA27
for the New Testament and the BHS for the Old Testament. The NASB 1995
update uses the UBS4/NA27 Greek New Testament. The NKJV uses the Textus
Receptus, but footnotes significant variants from the MT and UBS4/NA27
("NU"). For more information, check the preface of each translation.

What was the text source for the Aramaic words used in Strongs?<br>
