Majority Text

The Majority Text is a version of the Greek New Testament formed by comparing various early manuscript copies. It reflects the reading that is supported by the most ancient and numerous manuscripts. Scholars favor this approach because it aims to preserve the text that was most widely copied and circulated in the early Christian church, reducing chances of later scribal errors. Essentially, it seeks to present the most authentic and original wording of the New Testament by emphasizing the consensus among the majority of early manuscripts.
