BNT and GNT are the Nestle-Aland 27th text and the United Bible Society 4th ed. text respectively (1993 and 1994). These are the two most common modern critical texts in use today. Most modern translations are based on them. The two texts are identical except for punctuation and capitalization.
BGT is the Rahlfs' Greek Old Testament text (the LXT in BibleWorks) and the BNT text together in a single Bible version. This was done to facilitate Greek OT and NT comparative studies.
BYZ is the Majority Text as published by Robinson and Pierpont (2005), a text that represents the Byzantine family of manuscripts.
GOC is the official Greek New Testament text of the Greek Orthodox Church.
SCR and STE represent the Textus Receptus (a Greek text developed from a small subset of manuscripts belonging to the Byzantine text family). It is essentially the text behind the KJV.
TIS is the Tischendorf text (1869-1872), an eclectic text that favors readings from the Greek manuscript Sinaiticus.
VST is the von Soden Greek New Testament
WHO is the Westcott and Hort text (1881); an eclectic text that favors readings from the Greek manuscript Vaticanus.
More information on any Bible version can be found from within BibleWorks. Simply add the version to the display and pass the mouse cursor over the three-letter version abbreviation and the information will appear in the Word Analysis tab of the Analysis Window.
