How do you use Greek Bibles with Logos? Learning Greek now. What to buy, how to use etc.

My teacher suggested the "A Reader's Greek New Testament". Logos has A Reader’s Hebrew and Greek Bible, 2nd ed. | Logos Bible Software
However I saw some comments that it's not like the actual version when used in Logos. Picture added below. I've got a hunch that Logos has better functions that allow that. Has anyone tried the above recommended book before? How do you use your Greek Bible in Logos? What Greek Bible should I use?

Hi @Benjamin Quek ,

Your teacher's suggestion is good for learning original language in vocabulary terms without extra lexicons.

I've never use the  A Reader’s Hebrew and Greek Bible, 2nd ed. | Logos Bible Software but here's how I learn in Logos.

Interlinears with lexicons studies

• Lexham Greek-English Interlinear New Testament - copy to note annotation app for transliteration using stylus on tablet. Transliteration purpose (use NA2x series).
• Pair with Hebrew Interlinears, BDAG & GE, other lexicons & encyclopedias as I wanted to understand how & why certain texts were used in different nuances, context or background instead of telling me the answer straight.

A side by side comparison between Lexham Greek-English Interlinear New Testament : SBL Edition & Lexham Greek-English Interlinear New Testament. I've activated the Interlinear Options with everything checked for full view.

• Different sequence from NA28, Apparatus for the Greek New Testament: SBL Edition will show the NA28 Greek text's differences.
• Similar sequence SBL & the  A Reader’s Hebrew and Greek Bible, 2nd ed. | Logos Bible Software's sequence is similar.

• Interlinear deactivated :

It's a long reply so a recap, I think the "A Reader's Hebrew & Greek New Testament" has a different purpose of learning as the footnotes includes the English meaning of original text which is convenient as a physical book or on tablet digitally with paged view. As I imagine focusing on increasing the original language vocabulary where one would be able to recall the meaning word after studying a while seems easier without fumbling around other lexicons.

Lexham Greek-English Interlinear New Testament Collection is for Greek only and shall need to pair with other Hebrew interlinears and/or lexicons for in-depth study.

TLDR

• Get A Reader's Hebrew & Greek New Testament for a fast, convenient & cheapest way to increase original language vocab.
• Get Hebrew & Greek interlinears with lexicons for in depth word studies.
