To: Geoffrey Lessel,

The best Greek NT is: Nestle-Aland's "Novum Testamentum Graece" (27th 
edition). It comes in two sizes: the normal book size (roughly 9 and 1/2 by 
6 and 1/2 inches) and a smaller size (roughly 7 and 1/2 by 5 and 1/2 
inches). One can obtain a copy from the American Bible Society 
(1-800-32-BIBLE).

Another popular Greek NT is: The United Bible Societies' "The Greek New 
Testament" (4th edition, 2nd printing). It has the same Greek text as the 
Nestle-Aland edition cited above, but it has a more limited critical 
apparatus (in the sense of fewer variant readings). Some people prefer it 
over the Nestle-Aland text claiming that it is easier to read. It comes in 
only one size (roughly 7 and 1/2 by 5 and 1/4 inches). One can obtain a 
copy from the American Bible Society.

There are other Greek texts, but the two listed above have to be the two 
most popular.

 From Luther's Large Catechism: "Why, do you think, is the world now so 
full of unfaithfulness, shame, misery, and murder? It is because everyone 
wishes to be his or her own master, be free from all authority, care 
nothing for anyone, and do whatever he or she pleases. So God punishes one 
knave by means of another" (BoC 386.154).
