LN numbers in Greek text (why missing/differences) Rick Brannan

I am guessing this would be a question that Rick could easily answer as well as others more familiar than I with the Greek texts.

In the NKJV, and various KJV versions (majority text) there are no LN numbers for a few words in 2 Corinthians 10:5.

In other texts (ESV, NASB, LEB) (NA27) there are LN numbers for these two words.

I fully admit my ignorance in these areas, but i am interested in learning the reason why the same LN numbers cannot be used and placed for the same Greek words in the different texts?

kathairountes(kathaireo) and logismous(logismos)

NKJV

NASB

    I notice that the versification here is different between the NA27 and the Textus Receptus even though the words are the same.

    I would speculate that the assigning of Louw-Nida domains was done independently of the translations and just to the NA27 and then applied to the Reverse Interlinears automatically. Thus wherever the underlying text differs from the NA27 (in this case because these words are in the "wrong verse") there is no LN number in the interlinear.

    I imagine this could be fixed if reported to revint@logos.com

    I do see the versification differences to which you are referring.

    Thank you for that speculation! I appreciate the answer. I will send in a report. I wasn't sure it was that kind of an issue or if there was a textual reason for the difference. I am hoping to learn. Kevin, your thoughts have helped me add to my understanding. There was an older post that mentioned some differences in the ESV Greek text  and NA27 which resulted in missing LN numbers but did not seem to address this circumstance.
