The Greek New Testament from United Bible Society now in 4th edition

Novum Testamentum Graece et Latine (same as this but together with Latin Vulgate)

The difference between the one offered by UBS and this one is that this has more footnotes on differences between manuscripts. In this newest edition, the actual textual decisions between the two are the same. The UBS is better for those who want to use the text for translation, and this one is better for those who are interested in studying textual critical issues.

Also keep in mind there are many interlinear Bibles out there that are probably better for those whose knowledge of Greek is limited. Take care, however, to distinguish between those which are based on Stephen's 1550 Textus Receptus and those which give a complete apparatus for comparing many manuscripts. Most biblical scholars feel the Textus Receptus was flawed in many ways.

The authoritative Greek text used by most Bible translators, scholars, and seminaries is the Nestle-Aland text, which is used in the United Bible Society's Greek New Testament, 4th edition, as well as the Nestle-Aland 27th edition. These two editions use the same text, but have different approaches to listing the variant readings found in the manuscripts.
