The book of Philippians is one of Paul's letters that is written to the church at Philippi.

Here are the Bible Greek words in Philippians. Verse boundaries are delimited by black lines. As in the original texts, there are no spaces between words. Chapter and verse divisions were added in the Middle Ages.

These charts are in a research stage so some details are still being worked out.

For each verse, a LCS (Longest Common Subsequence) was done between the GNT (Greek New Testament) and MGT. The chapters are each in one column. Each word is displayed using a color coding.

• Blue represents the same letter in GNT and MGT.
• Red represents a different letter in GNT and MGT.
• Cyan represents a different ending (suffix) in the GNT than in the MGT.

Thus, someone who knows modern Greek can read a lot of the GNT. In Greece, students study ancient (classical) Greek which makes it easier. In many cases, the endings have changed and many follow a recognizable pattern.

Note that some meanings have changed while others have remained the same.

An area of current research is identifying (manually and via automation) places where a modern Greek translated word has been changed to another ancient Greek word even though the original word still means the same thing.

This appears to happen when the Latin Vulgate or English (Wycliffe, Tyndale, etc., or Luther German, etc.) has changed the meaning of the word and the modern Greek translators appear to feel that they need to change the Greek word to match what others have decided that word now means.

Here is a table of the suffixes in Philippians, occurring more than once, that are in the GNT but not in the corresponding MGT. These are color-coded cyan in the above chart.
