Which Greek New Testament Should I Choose - 2026

This is a much needed update to a post that I wrote in 2011.

Since that time, there have been multiple new editions of the GNT released. I will share my personal recommendations below. There is a plethora of printed Greek New Testaments in production today, and to be honest, it is overwhelming if someone is just beginning their Greek studies.

As of the writing of this post, the UBS6 and NA29 are being released. I am not going to recommend them, because I do not believe they are necessary, they are expensive, and their bindings, paper, and fonts are less than desirable when compared to previous editions.

These are my recommendations:

If you want a UBS or Nestle-Aland Greek New Testament, look on Ebay, as the UBS4 and NA27 can be purchased for $10-20 in great condition. If you need help finding them there just send me a message and I would be happy to help.

• Koine Greek New Testament (Calkfskin) 
  • This is my personal favorite. It has a great binding, paper, font, and is the most portable. This is published by the Trinitarian Bible Society and is a Received Text edition. It is perfect for daily reading.

 

• Tyndale Greek New Testament (Hardcover published by Crossway)

 

• Tyndale Greek New Testament Hardcover w/ Dictionary 

 

• Tyndale Greek New Testament (Trutone)
  • This is a very nice edition with a Trutone cover from Crossway. It has a strong vinyl reinforced paste down binding. This cover is a much better quality Trutone than their ESV bibles, and will not deteriorate in time.

 

• Tyndale Greek New Testament (Reader's Edition)

• A Reader's Greek New Testament: Third Edition
  • This is a great portable New Testament. The font is improved over the second edition, as has the cover, which will not deteriorate as easily. This is a true "thinline" New Testament, and is much more portable than the Tyndale Reader. ​
