- Romans 16:25-27 - The Doxology
- 2 Corinthians 13:13-14 - Benediction
- Philippians 1:16-17 - KJV versification
- 1 John 5:7 - Comma Johanneum (full TR text)
- All other TR-specific verses (Matt 17:21, 18:11, Acts 8:37, etc.)

Versification Handling

The upstream TAGNT uses special markers for verses with different versification across manuscript traditions:

- {chapter.verse} - Alternate manuscript tradition location
- [chapter.verse] - KJV versification difference

This package correctly interprets these markers to place TR words at their proper KJV verse locations.

Development

$3

`bash
npm run import
`

This downloads the TAGNT files from STEPBible GitHub and processes them into JSON.

$3

`bash
npm test
``

Tests verify:
- All TR-specific verses are present
- Polytonic Greek is preserved (accents, iota subscripts)
- Gematria calculations are correct
- Verse counts match expected TR totals
