2. NEW TESTAMENT GREEK
Why should anyone take the time and effort to learn
New Testament Greek?
The study of the original languages may be viewed as the proper
understanding of the biblical doctrine of inspiration. If we do indeed
believe that every word in the original autograph was inspired by God
the Holy Spirit, then should we not be diligently studying His message
to us in its original form?
Those who do not know the languages will come short of grappling
with the original form of God's revelation. His revelation came in and
through the Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek languages. It is our
responsibility to receive that revelation, to understand it and
effectively communicate it to others. If we have no knowledge of the
original languages, then we are halted from exploring the fullness of
God's revelation and plumb its depths for ourselves.
"The languages are the sheath in which the
sword of the Spirit is contained."

JOHN 3.16
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in
him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
16 Οὕ τω γὰ ρ ἠ γά πησεν ὁ Θεὸ ς τὸ ν κό σμον,
ὥ στε τὸ ν υἱὸ ν αὐ τοῦ τὸ ν μονογενῆ ἔ δωκεν, ἵ να
πᾶ ς ὁ πιστεύ ων εἰ ς αὐ τὸ ν μὴ ἀ πό ληται ἀ λλ'
ἔ χῃ ζωὴ ν αἰώ νιον.

LUKE 11.2-4
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy
name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in
heaven, so in earth. 3 Give us day by day our daily
bread. 4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive
every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into
temptation; but deliver us from evil.
Πάτερ ἡμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς· ἁγιασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά
σου· ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία σου· γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά
σου, ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ, καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς· 3 τὸν ἄρτον
ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον δίδου ἡμῖν τὸ καθ’ ἡμέραν· 4 καὶ
ἄφες ἡμῖν τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν· καὶ γὰρ αὐτοὶ ἀφίεμεν
παντὶ τῷ ὀφείλοντι ἡμῖν· καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς
πειρασμόν ἀλλὰ ῥῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ.
