 *NOTE**: The numeric scripture structure here in 11:1 - belongs to the
preceding portion! And - this Numeric Interlinear Greek New Testament is
extremely **attention consuming. My goal for this - is - not one error! My
mother, long with the Lord now - had a part in this. Her saying was, “If a
thing is worth doing at all, it is worth doing well!” Of course, there
aretypos and errors. Thanks to you who note them, and let me know. The
corrections are made! God deserves the very best in all of this, for it is
HIS Numeric Interlinear Greek New Testament. Ivan Panin under God took 10
years in perfecting a Numeric Greek Lexicon before he commenced applying
Numerics to Westcott and Hort's Greek NT text. It was this tool that enabled
him to test the 3000 alternate readings mainly from the 7 complete Greek
manuscripts, and produce the Numeric Greek text with no alternate
readings!His English translation with it, provides an accurate context
for every NT
verse and word! It is this corrected text that appears in this Interlinear
NT, only transliterated, to make it easier for laymen without knowledge of
Greek. The presentation of his English translation has been inserted into
the Greek text, again to make it easier for laymen to use. The Strong's
numbers have been inserted following each significant Greek word, not above
it - again to make it easier for the use of laymen.*


 *The summary of each sentence occurred to me as a possibility in 1945, when
I read the introduction to Panin's Numeric Greek NT, and noted his discovery
that even the sentence structure, sub-paragraphs, paragraphs and sections
(chapter equivalents) are established by Bible Numerics. I thought - What if
I summarized each sentence; gathered the summaries into sub-paragraphs; the
sub-paragraphs into paragraphs; the paragraphs into sections - What would I
discover?*


 *I tried it out first with Ephesians, and discovered such a clarity and
understanding that came to this book, that I did it for the entire Numeric
Greek NT! It is transforming! It sheds light on every Commentary!*


 *One white preacher gave a commentary to a black preacher, and couldn't
wait to get his comments on it! Finally this is what he heard - “Well, boss,
it's just amazing how much light the Bible throws on that Commentary-book!”*


 *That's the way I feel about Bible Numerics through Panin - and the
multitude of Commentaries on the Bible! *


 *I hope in the not too distant future to have completed the 21 apostolical
epistles of the NT - plus the Book of Revelation; - then Acts, John,
Matthew, Mark and Luke. Bear with me; pray for me! I turn 86 in less than 2
weeks - and there's much land yet to possess!*


 *P.S. I am sure you have noted the blank space above my titles. These are
not inspired. They are mine! The space is to encourage you to cross out any
of my titles that do not appeal to you, and substitute them with your own. I
am not going to take your suggestions and replace mine with them! I am too
old and time is at a premium. You have the privilege of producing your
ownNumeric Interlinear Greek NT with your
own summaries. Right? Of course - right! J.A.W.*
