Whats the most true version of the Koine Greek NT and the Septuagint?

I was looking at this for the NT, it's inexpensive but it's the version used by the KJV which I'm wary of. I hear the Byzantine Text is the best one so do you know any copies of that which are inexpensive and are just straight Koine Greek with no English on the side? Same thing with Septuagint.

Byzantine Text is not the best, but if you're dead set on it you want Robinson-Pierpont.

For the most reliable:

Greek NT: Nestle-Aland 28 or United Bible Societies 5

Septuagint: Rahlfs-Hanhart Septuaginta

This board would greatly benefit from a "Bible General". Seems there are 2-3 threads made per day asking about the best translation.

There's an easy answer to that question (NRSV) but you always get Baptists shilling the KJV and Catholics shilling the NABRE and so on and it leaves OP confused

Except I'm Catholic and I use the RSVCE and The Jerusalem Bible as my go to editions. I've never seen a Catholic use the NABRE. Not saying it doesn't happen, but I've never personally seen it.

The KJV is based on the Byzantine text. Why do you think the Orthodox Study Bible’s New Testament is the NKJV?

To clarify, although the Textus Receptus is Byzantine text-type, the Textus Receptus and Byzantine Majority text do differ

Right, because the received word of God is not beholden to being in the majority of manuscripts in any language at any given time. It is however guaranteed to be preserved to every generation according to prophecy. Afterall, that "majority" can always change if "new" evidence is procured, while we know from fact that the immutable word of God doesn't change. So that kind of disproves the idea of relying on the majority as your final arbiter. So in particular, the majority text (rather, today's majority text) removes Acts 8:37 (entire verse), 1 John 5:7 and part of Revelation 21:24 (the part that says "which are saved").

That being said, the fact it is the majority type still argues generally in favor of the TR rather than the various conflicting eclectic "alexandrian" versions, which change even more things. The point is it hasn't changed at any time.

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. — Matthew 24:35
