| Summary: | The New Testament contains over 3,000 non-Greek words. Many of these are simply cases of loanwords, seen especially in the case of proper nouns and toponyms. However, others retain their foreign value in the text, illustrated especially by the addition of an in-text translation or explanation.

The results point to a clear distinction in the translational practice between traditional and modern Bible versions. |
