The purchase</p><p class=MsoNormal>page is initially only available in German, so you may need to let</p><p class=MsoNormal>Chrome help you translate to make the purchase. They have honored their</p><p class=MsoNormal>word and because we have done all the work to convert their data and</p><p class=MsoNormal>take no royalty they only charge 10€ for the SWORD module. They also</p><p class=MsoNormal>allow the module to be used in all of our apps, so it's a great</p><p class=MsoNormal>advantage for our users to buy once and use on their multiple platforms,</p><p class=MsoNormal>devices, and applications.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>For those that don't know, the Nestle-Aland Greek New Testament is the</p><p class=MsoNormal>standard text which most all seminary students are required to purchase</p><p class=MsoNormal>for their studies and shares the same Greek text as the United Bible</p><p class=MsoNormal>Societies' Greek New Testament used by the majority of Bible translators</p><p class=MsoNormal>worldwide, but the Nestle-Aland edition includes an extended critical</p><p class=MsoNormal>apparatus.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If you have a separate project page or forum for your frontend</p><p class=MsoNormal>community, please let your users know and please support the work of the</p><p class=MsoNormal>German Bible Society and encourage them to make more of their resources</p><p class=MsoNormal>available for our software by purchasing a copy for yourself.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The module includes the variant apparatus for each applicable verse as a</p><p class=MsoNormal>footnote at the end of the verse, which should facilitate the module to</p><p class=MsoNormal>show reasonably well in most frontends.
