The Greek New Testament manuscripts are categorized into three primary text-types: Alexandrian, Western, and Byzantine. The Alexandrian text-type is distinguished by its concise readings and a minimal inclination towards expansion or paraphrasing. Conversely, the Western text-type exhibits a propensity for paraphrase and harmonization. The Byzantine text-type, commonly referred to as the Majority Text, is characterized by its fluent Greek, reduced variations between parallel passages, and fewer complex interpretative challenges.
