Comparing Greek texts with AKDG

AKDG highlights small differences between the earlier Nestle-Aland and the later Textus Receptus. In Matthew 17:20 the Greek changes the meaning from "little faith" to "no faith", which can confuse German, KJV and NKJV readers.

Have you ever read the Bible?

Try it, you'll like it. In the beginning was the Word... (John 1)

⁴⁶ I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness. ⁴⁷ If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. ⁴⁸ He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day. ⁴⁹ For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak. ⁵⁰ I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me."
John 12:46-50 (NASB)

Verses: John 14:6, John 12:47, Ephesians 2:8, Philippians 4:7, Hebrews 4:7
