I am currently reading the GNT and learning vocabulary through your system. When I encounter difficulty I write the verse and translate it. This kinesthetic prevents me from relying on the tools so quickly. Thank you for the content.

First of all congratulations on your work. For me, as a Greek Orthodox and a native Greek speaker I would say to anyone who is interested to read the New Testament directly in Greek. Therefore I highly recommend this copy of the New Testament which is being published since 1952: "Η ΚΑΙΝΗ ΔΙΑΘΗΚΗ ΜΕΤΑ ΣΥΝΤΟΜΟΥ ΕΡΜΗΝΕΙΑΣ, υπό Παναγιώτη Ν. Τρεμπέλα, Αδελφότης Θεολόγων ο Σωτήρ". Just a suggestion, that's all. God bless you all. Greetings from Greece!

The old greek nt thats been sitting in the church library for the past few decades is the best one to start with

I have numerous hard copies of the Greek NT. At the moment I am using "The Greek New Testament. A Reader's Edition by German Bible Society. Mainly because the font is some much easier to see the breath marks, thicker letters and wider spacing between letters and words. Much needed for senior eyes :) I don't use the dictionary at the bottom of the page by Barclay at all. I just use Accordance as a fast dictionary. I am thinking about printing out my own in large font so I can read it faster.

Tell you what I'm going to do, Darryl... I'm meeting you half way in the middle. I'm getting one of those reader's editions for this leg of my journey, while I still need "training wheels", but I'm getting the lexicon and the Greek New Testament ready for a soon as I can take those training wheels off.

I have been reading for years. My NA 28 and Shorter Lexicon have been plenty.

I would recommend a NT Greek with a good lexicon. I am using a Nestland 28

I've been using the Hebrew/Greek Reader's edition from Zondervan as I first dive in. Yes the horrible bonded leather one ha. I'm not too attached to the Greek text chosen or the font itself. Therefore, I don't really mind highlighting and noting everywhere in it because it'll never be my daily reader. Im making flashcards for vocab verse by verse and I'm finding it to be very effective. To be honest, from my perspective anyway, it doesn't really seem to matter what your first Greek NT is when you're just beginning to use it to learn Greek and not for devotional reading. The readers edition is also helpful for me at this point to know where I'm at in the sentence and break the syntax down quicker. However if people don't go through every word and learn it like this I can see how it wouldn't be effective.

Oops, too late... I bought the reader's edition of the THGNT. Oh, well, I'll deal with it ;-P Great teaching! Thank you

I think that I am going to invest in the Tyndale GNT and a reader's lexicon here in the next few months as I am wanting to grow to be reading exegetically and fluently. Thanks for the tips, will check out the other videos.

I understand that using a text that has no lexical help is beneficial overall. At the same time, I want to bring my GNT to church, where I don't have access to lexicons. Then it's a really good thing to have a text where words i may not know are in the footnotes ...

After having been called to teach I started cross referencing between the Greek Interlinear and the Strongs Exhaustive Concordance.
When I was in high school I tried reading the N.T. but found it hard to understand, in English, and seemingly contradictory. Once I recieved the baptism of the Holy Spirit I went home and decided to read a little before bed. When I opened it to the N.T. and started to read I was shocked.
Suddenly it had take on much more depth. I became aware of the Spirit I had recieved guiding me and teaching me the meaning of what I was reading.
Years later when I was called to teach the Lord directed my attention primarily to key words in the Greek like, believe, recieve, etc.

Hello Brother, I'm so eased to have found your videos, great work.
I'm an absolute complete novice, I haven't even looked at the Greek alphabet yet.
My situation is, believe it or not, I'm a prisoner and gave a lot of time on my hands, and have access to books.
My ambition is to read the Septuagint and new testament Greek. Augustine says in his 2nd book on Christian doctrine that it was reported that 70 scribes went into individual rooms to translate the Septuagint and all came out with the exact same script...HOLY SPIRIT 😯...he thinks it's more reliable that the Hebrew text....that's a claim!
Anyway, back to my question. You know my ambition, so the question is what books do I buy?
So I'm obviously going to need a Septuagint and Greek N/T. I've taken your advice, and will not be opting for a reader.
Also I will buy the Burer new readers lexicon. So the main question is..What grammar do I buy?
And if there is any other books you will recommend?
I thank you so very much for your time doing this hard work. May the Lord bless thee, and keep thee 🙏

I like both. The biggest problem is what Greek Text. Most today are based on the critical text, which some think are not the best. I have all of these plus the Majority Greek New Testament and the TR. Just hard to know which one to use as my primary one?

I'm currently learning homeric Greek. Will this be useful in reading the Greek new testament?

talostheking

Wasn't the original Greek koine Greek? Why did you say Greek. I am confused if these are in the original Greek.
