You can go the other way too. Show the TR module and display the  
English.

There are a few things to watch out for.

Some <w src="3 4"> have more than 1 number, meaning that the content  
of the <w> was translated from more than one Greek word. Those numbers  
are typically adjacent, but they don't need to be. The most common  
occurrence of this is the indefinite article G3588, o, which often in  
English is not translated.

Two different <w> can have the same number all this means is that the  
word or phrase was not directly translated, but an intervening word  
was inserted. You should see an attribute value of x-split on these (I  
forget the attribute name).

There are some empty <w src="xxx"/> elements. These simply mean that  
the Greek was not directly translated.

Yes, TR is Textus Receptus. Your module should work just fine. You  
might want to dump the sword and zefania modules to flat text and  
compare them for differences. That would give you confidence in your  
results.
