[B-Greek] TDNT, TDNT abridged, or NIDNTT?

Books like NIDNTT and Vebrugge's revision published as NIVTDONTW need to 
be used in conjunction with other resources, I've found out. In doing 
some work on 2 John, and checking Verbrugge's update of NIDNTT, I noted:

"The entry on KURIA from The NIV Theological Dictionary of New Testament 
Words [i.e., Verbrugge's update] leaves unchanged the original NIDNTT 
paragraph (vol. 2, p. 518) which states as if it were a certainty that 
the word's occurrences at 2 John 1,5 "refers to the church," etc., when 
the meaning of KURIA as well as the meanings of EKLEKTH and TEKNA in 
this book have been a matter of scholarly disagreement (see, e.g., The 
Expositor's Greek Testament, vol. 5, pp. 162 163)."
