Which Greek version? TR? Codex Vaticanus? Sinaiticus? Alexandrinus? The
TR? Nestle-Aland, and if so, which edition?

And that begs the question of the OT versions -- Masoretic, Leningradensis,
and the DSS discoveries that there do seem to have been Hebrew underpinnings
for the Apocrypha that were dismssed by the Jews (but accepted by the early
Church) on the grounds that they were originally in Greek ...

There aren't *that* many differences among the GNT versions that have
theological import, but there are some (e.g., the Johannine Comma on the
doctrine of the Trinity).

Well, that's why I, for one, always go back to the GNT (including the
footnotes about text variations), as well as several modern translations,
as well as the KJV, in my scriptural studies ...
