I have been trying to determine the meaning of letters and numbers within parentheses after versification or various lines of the text. 

eg. in the following verse you see (g) 5x, and then in v.15 you see (16a). My question is what do they have reference to in the text? I have read the introduction but found no reference to those items. 

13aSphere (g)[CR ἐν ᾧ CR]
b Topic (g) [TP ‹+ καὶ ὑμεῖς +› TP]
c Background-Experience (g) ἀκούσαντες τὸν λόγον τῆς ἀληθείας,
d Characterization ‹ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τῆς σωτηρίας ὑμῶν ›,
e Sphere (g) ἐν ᾧ
f Background-Action (g) ‹+ καὶ πιστεύσαντες +›


Holmes, M. W. (2011–2013). The Greek New Testament: SBL Edition (Eph 1:13). Lexham Press; Society of Biblical Literature.

Thanks

    The letters at the beginning of each line are sections of the verse - and the letters in brackets indicate which section the current one relates to.

    So - in verse 13 - all of the sections a -f relate to section g

    Does that help at all?

    Thanks Graham

    It helps somewhat. I figured that it was some sort of outline, but what I am trying to find out is where I can access the entire outline, to see it as a whole without having to backtrack through it all. And also to what does it pertain? Just the book or the entire Bible or what?

    Hi Jeff

    I'm not sure I understand your question.

    This is using the Propositional Outlines capability - outlined at https://www.logos.com/product/45483/new-testament-propositional-bible-outlines-dataset 

    Does the video linked there help explain what is going on?
