The article presents the results of an analysis of the New Testament texts content, in particular the Epistles of the Apostles, on the basis of a markemological approach, using the computer program ProTemAlEngl. Lists of 50 markems selected according to partial, grammatical, grammatical-semantic, thematic-semantic, stylistic, dialogic, classification criteria and having the maximum positive value of InTeM (index of textual marking) are presented. A semantic classification of the obtained markems by groups is carried out, and their substantive features are analyzed. Among the highlighted markems, the dominant and vice-dominant markems are defined. The dominant markem in the Epistles of the Apostles is "unrighteousness" (0.693), the vice-dominant markem is "righteousness" (0.5623) (InTeM of markem is indicated in parentheses). As a result of the analysis, 7 semantic blocks of markems were identified in the Epistles of the Apostles: fundamental concepts, interpersonal relations, moral and ethical markems, mental-perceptual markems, quality markems, emotional markems, social markems. In the Epistles of the Apostles, written to explain the foundations of the Christian faith, to give instructions to the first Christians, the key semantic blocks of markems on the bases of quantitative and weight indicators are fundamental concepts, moral and ethical markems, interpersonal relations. As a result of quantitative-weight analysis of markems with positive and negative semantics in each of the semantic blocks, the predominance of positive markems in the semantic blocks of fundamental concepts, interpersonal relations and mental-perceptual markems was established. In the semantic blocks of moral, ethical, qualitative, emotional and social markems negative markems are predominant. The thematic group "unrighteousness", the core of which is the dominant markem unrighteousness, is formed by markems with negative semantics. Markems with positive semantics form the thematic group "righteousness", the core of which is the vice-dominant markem righteousness.
