In late 2025, the United Bible Societies published the sixth revised edition of the Greek New Testament (UBS Greek New Testament, see https://www.die-bibel.de/scholarly-bible-editions/greek-new-testament-gnt/the-sixth-edition-of-the-greek-new-testament-ubs6).
Professor Christos Karakolis of the Department of Theology at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens serves as co-editor, alongside Professors Hugh Houghton and David Parker of the University of Birmingham, Holger Strutwolf of the University of Münster, Stephen Pisano of the Pontifical Biblical Institute, Dr David Trobisch of the Museum of the Bible (Washington, USA), and Dr Klaus Wachtel, also of the University of Münster.
Published eleven years after the fifth, this new edition is designed for New Testament translators worldwide, as well as academics, students, and anyone interested in the history of the text and its different versions in manuscript tradition.
A key feature of the sixth edition is the revised order of the New Testament books, reflecting the arrangement found in the majority of Greek manuscripts. In particular, the Catholic Epistles now appear after the Acts of the Apostles, followed immediately by the Pauline ones.
