Textual Variant

Probably not answering your question.  I'm guessing you're asking about a dataset for major variants.  I'm not aware, but maybe I missed them.  Bible Browser is the most likely place to check.

Absent a dataset, first thought was Metzger under the heading 'significant'. That's how he chose (vs spelling, mistakes, etc).  Significant relative to theology? Ehrman tried (quite disputably).

The SBL GNT is probably close to your needs. I don't use it, but the selectivity of variants (and top-level comparison) is useful.  It has 2 searchable fields 'Variation Unit' and 'Variant Reading' (which I didn't succeed in VF'ing).

Besides Metzger and SBL (which I have in my apparatus layout section), I also do a visual filter on CNTTS (significance and century, reds/oranges better than muted colors):

And an old thread that's interesting to remember:

https://community.logos.com/forums/t/1870.aspx 

I'm just guessing your memory (and mine) is going back to UBS4 (UBSxx evaluated variants; NAxx didn't).  In UBS4, they're a footnote (that the VF can evaluate); UBS5 has an apparatus indicator, with the 'footnotes' in the separate resource (not VF-catchable).

I think this issue came up a few months back, discussing when the apparatus was separated.  Others probably have better memory.

Does someone who knows Hebrew well know how I could build a similar filter for Hebrew variations?

Maybe Faithlife?

This thread illustrates the abysmal (1) documentation, (2) design for access, and (3) wasted time, for the app.  They've got little notes here and there.  Some 'user' efforts (wiki/forum).  Some 'resources'.  And an excellent product wasted.

For this specific use case, what additional documentation do you suggest? ...But I am a Luddite pessimist who believes giving easy access to answers that are misunderstood is not a step forward in Bible study.

Personally, I don't actually care, as regards their documentation; they don't, and it's theirs:

- If they want to survive for very long, they're going to need to sell to more people. Students only have so much money, and fewer and fewer pastors.

- Their ballyhoo'd church-serving market is primarily composed of 'normal' people. They've done little to nothing concerning their market.  Bible classes, in-home learning, missions??

- At each new feature, they choose the least obvious UI, to insure the feature will get limited use. Then, threads go on and on, in hopes someone 'might know'. Serious?

- Dave's pretty much 'it' on expertise; Andrew because he volunteers. After that? After 12 years, that's where their app has arrived. So many missed opportunities.

- Then, they hit a pandemic, and FL should be the star-player ... but didn't bother but to minimally integrate their Logos, Proclaim, and mobiles. Each is out on a wild goose-chase.

- And they couldn't do church management? Because?  CM is the money. 

Yes, I remain a Luddhite ... Bible study and church aren't supposed to be as difficult as possible.

I was thinking of doing the same thing and found this thread.  I was surprised it wasn't 5 or 10 years old and actually only a month.  This is what I ended up doing.  First I had to make a passage list of all the entries from the Lexham Textual Notes on the Bible, as recommended in this thread.  Unfortunately I couldn't just extract the passage list from the resource directly for several reasons.  You can highlight some text and extract a passage list from it, but I would have to manually highlight the whole book to do that.  I tried at first by starting at the bottom and scrolling up, but the more text you have highlighted, the more it takes up system memory and at about 1/3 of the book my computer was starting to struggle a little, and I have a pretty beefy computer.  There was another problem, it could extract references, but in the end the references it extracted were not the headword references but those that were mentioned throughout the articles including ones I didn't want and excluding the ones I did want.  So I just decided to slog through it and manually copy from the table of contents every verse reference into a passage list, I spent probably a total of about 5 or 6 hours on it today.  That list can be found at

Now visual filters for passage lists are not quite what I had in mind for this, so I did a bit of a workaround.  Instead of using that visual filter, I created a new one using a bunch of common words and OR operators to make sure that all of the verses got picked up by the search and constricted the search to the passage list.  It is optimized to the LEB because that is the translation mostly used in the resource, but the filter will get most of the results in pretty much every English bible(but not all references, it misses between 20 and 150 of them with other Bibles right now).  The visual filter can be found at

Now, the final part was to set the right kind of highlighting to make it useful.  It would be super annoying to just highlight the words and, or, from, to, in, among, etc. in these verses and wouldn't do a good job of indicating where a textual variant occurs.  There is one default icon, a left margin arrow pointing to the right that doesn't actually highlight the text but indicates rows where the search results occur for the filter.  I didn't quite like the aesthetic of it though it served the purpose well and instead, set up my own icon which is just a book that is orange, well, because orange is my favorite color.  The most annoying part of the work is done, and now there are visual indicators in my bibles where textual variants occur.  I'll probably go back and fine-tune the visual filter search to better account for other translations and maybe hopefully remove extra words in the search that aren't needed and make the search a little heftier, but for now I'm satisfied with the LEB being optimized.  Hope this is helpful to others who are trying to do the same thing.

"Significant" is (IIRC, this was ... 10 years ago?) largely equivalent with "the variation implies a difference in translation". Not always, but mostly.

This may (or may not) help. Hopefully it will plant a seed for someone with VF skills beyond average.

From an evangelical perspective, most of the "significant" textual variants are those produced by a difference in the TR and the eclectic text (whichever you prefer). Not all...but most.

Therefore, if you can find a way to make a VF for places where the TR and the (say) SBLGNT vary, you'll have many of the big ones.

Not perfect but maybe helpful if workable.

Unrelated to your question, I assume you enjoy CNTTS ? I almost bought it, but I haven't convinced myself to pull the trigger. 

What do you like about it compared to NA, UBS, SBLGNT, TR apparataus'

This was helpful. Thank you for putting this together. 

Just as a FYI, something that may help you in the future is the use of wildcard characters in a search. 

You could simply put an asterisk in '*' to search for every single word. This would accomplish the same thing as your long list in the visual filter but with a single character. 

I have noticed that Logos is slow to update changes when I use only the asterisk but once it catches up it works just fine and provides an easy way to accomplish capturing everything in cases like this.
