Greek New Testament
The Greek New Testament app is a Bible Study app that gives you a modern critical edition of the Greek New Testament, the Society of Biblical Literature Greek New Testament (SBLGNT), for free. This Greek New Testament reader app comes with:
-beautiful display (SBL Greek font, accents, breathing marks, and iota subscripts)-easy navigation-complex search capabilities-the critical apparatus of the SBLGNT-complete morphology with parsing and lemmatization (**available for in-app purchase**)
This app is great for seminary and university students, pastors, or anyone else wanting to use and/or improve their Biblical Greek.
THE GREEK TEXT
The SBLGNT, edited by Michael W. Holmes and published jointly by the Society of Biblical Literature and Logos Bible Software, is a modern critical edition of the Greek New Testament, based primarily on four previous editions of the Greek text of the New Testament: Wescott-Hort, Tregelles, NIV, and Robinson-Pierpont. The text of the SBLGNT differs from the Nestle-Aland/United Bible Societies text in more than 540 variation units.
ATTRACTIVE DISPLAY
The Greek text of the Greek New Testament app is beautiful and easy-to-read in the SBL Greek font. The text is displayed with all of the appropriate accents, breathing marks, and iota subscripts, as well as the paragraphing and layout of the printed edition. You are free to adjust the size of the text, the left/right margins and the line-spacing for more comfortable reading.
QUICK NAVIGATION
You can find any passage quickly by selecting the desired book, chapter and verse.
SIMPLE AND COMPLEX SEARCHES
You can easily conduct one-word searches without typing any Greek, or you can use our elegant, yet powerful, search syntax to gain more control over the search, searching for virtually any combination of Greek words. With the addition of the Greek morphology (in-app purchase), you can search by lemma (dictionary form) instead of the surface form of the text.
CRITICAL APPARATUS
You can see the variants from the critical apparatus of the SBLGNT simply by touching the text-critical symbols.
MORPHOLOGY **AVAILABLE FOR IN-APP PURCHASE**
You can touch any word in the text to see the lemma and parsing information for that Greek word. This is a great Bible study tool for those wanting to read the New Testament in Greek or brush up on their Greek skills.

It'd be better if you could actually copy and paste the text.
Greedy & Selfish is the developer of this app... I suggest, Don't ever install this app!
Excellent for those who know Greek.
It is very good app and useful.
I really do love this app it is the best one that I have found. I would like to be able to touch a word and also get the definition, I'd be willing to pay for that feature as well. I found one problem, however, it is with John chapter 8, it starts at verse 12. I do understand that it may be an addition and the SBL chose to leave it out, I find that interesting, I had to use my Nestl-Aland just to see the story. Is there a way to at least place something like this in brackets, after all it is a good story?
The Greek text is great, my two minor complaints are that no visual feedback on page turning makes it feel slightly awkward, and I thought the morphology would come with a lexicon; morphology is not that useful if you don't know what the word means.
Initially had issues with Android 4.4 but developer responded quickly to solve them. Decided to purchase the morphology add-on. I agree with another reviewer that a nice addition would be a glossary. That would make it even better.
i have reported the bug due to the Android 4.4 upgrade last week, Miklal tech support has been excellent in responding to the bug fix. they kept me informed of progress and the issues were fixed within a week. Well done. It is now working as intended.
I was extremely disappointed to find out the paid version did not come with the lexicon definition. Please please change this! This would be a benefit to so many like myself in the long process of learning Greek. The parsing is great but it does no good if I can't check the definition.
This app is great. I am fussy about what I keep on my Moto X, and I use this app every day, and keep discovering new capabilities. Great job! Thank you. Still working 06/2021 on Android 11.
I am about to shepherd of a church of odd looking sanctuary soon. I have plan's for churches beyond that later with Technology. Which I am going to Apostle and Protect with the gift of discerning of spirits from afar. I aiming to understand the Greek mainly and also Hebrew.
Whenever I press "content" when the screen displays "preface" when I attempt to go back to the text by pressing the book and verse I was previously at it stalls. Needs help purdy please
The one thing that would complete this app is if the lexical definition of each word were included. Currently, if you purchase the parsing, it tells you everything except the lexical definition and semantic gloss. Ideally, if this were added, it would complete the app.
Thanks to this app, I can apply what I learned in my Greek NT classes in reading the NT. The experience in greatly satisfying! This app can be a very valuable learning tool for beginners if a lexicon is added. It can encourage students of the NT Greek, like me, to get into the word as early as the basic level ^_^
This is a great app. A lexicon would be an excellent addition, greatly enhancing its usefulness. Thank you for making this available!
I paid for morphology, thinking it would at least give the English glosses, but it doesn't. No refund?
It's great app for the students of Greek NT. Keep on improving it!
This app is getting better. I can navigate it easily now. Thank you!!
Best app for the New Testament critical text. The searching functionality rocks!
I would like the "English translation" as well.
Great Greek New Testament. The search feature is very useful.
To god be the glory..thank you for making this app
Fast, easy to use, change places quick and easy. Great.
Very nice of my first impression. I want to use this.
Very useful for enhancing further studies of the Holy Writ.
Just purchased morphology add on and unable to download it. Link comes up grey. Can anyone help me?
Lovely to be able to find this as an app at all!
Very good, but Dictionary missing
It's a good app. for study!!
This would be a much better app if it had the word definition along with the parsing. Even for a decent Greek reader the majority of the time it's not the parsing but the definition that is the trouble.
