• 2 Corinthians 13:13-14 - Benediction
• Philippians 1:16-17 - KJV versification
• 1 John 5:7 - Comma Johanneum (full TR text)
• All other TR-specific verses (Matt 17:21, 18:11, Acts 8:37, etc.)

Versification Handling

The upstream TAGNT uses special markers for verses with different versification across manuscript traditions:

• {chapter.verse} - Alternate manuscript tradition location
• [chapter.verse] - KJV versification difference

This package correctly interprets these markers to place TR words at their proper KJV verse locations.

Development

Import Data

npm run import

This downloads the TAGNT files from STEPBible GitHub and processes them into JSON.

Run Tests

npm test

Tests verify:

• All TR-specific verses are present
• Polytonic Greek is preserved (accents, iota subscripts)
• Gematria calculations are correct
• Verse counts match expected TR totals
