The Pauline Epistles are the largest extant collection
of letters in the Greek New Testament. Of the twenty-seven
documents included in the New Testament, Paul wrote thirteen of
them. However by word count, Paul is the
second most prolific contributor to the New Testament. Luke's
two documents (The Gospel of Luke and The Acts of the
Apostles) amount to nearly a third of the New Testament in
volume.
Diagrams for the Pauline literature is
particularly helpful because his syntax is involved and complex, and
the arguments tightly structured. By diagramming, one can
unravel a Pauline text which initially appeared to be a maze.
For example, Ephesians 1:3-14 is one sentence in Greek. If one
cannot diagram this sentence, then the syntax of the sentence cannot
be clearly grasped. And if one does not understand a sentence
syntactically, then they will lack confidence in the validity of
their interpretation.

been possible before in the history of NTGreek diagramming.
