In this segment I will be listing the relevant verses related to Christ’s Deity from three specific English versions that are based primarily on what is typically referred to as the Majority or Byzantine text, which form the majority of the Greek witnesses of the NT books. The Textus Receptus (“Received Text”) came out of this family or line of textual transmission, from which the King James Version was produced.
