Well done!

@@GreekForAll tbe erasmius way to say koine greek is stupidity and an insult to greeks. In the greek orthodox church 2000 years we say all in koine greek. The erasmians believers dont tell us when we supposed change the way we say our language.

Sure. Will make one.

Yes...I just started my master of Christian Studies, as student we need to refer to Original language which is Greek. I just started learning it. Hi from Malaysia Evangelical Theology Seminary Lawas, Sarawak. God bless you bro

Thanks for the suggestion

Well noted!

Thanks. It would be a great word!

Thanks for your feedback. I think you are somewhat right. I totally agree with your notes this is how those syllables should be pronounced. I didn't pay much attention, and phonetically the unstressed syllables sometimes may sound differently. By the way, I'm Eastern European. Blessings.

They mean the same = “God”. They are jus in different grammatical cases which means they have different roles in a sentence. Theos = subject Theon = direct object Theou = possessive (same as “of” in English).

@@GreekForAll Shalom, Since the word "God" is nowhere in the original Hebrews or Greek (i.e Elohim, Theo's, Theou, Theon), could it be meant that the word theos, like Elohim, means diety (or one with authority)? Understanding that life is based on a hierarchial theme, when using the word "God" you would think it would only apply to Apex of the hierarchy but in the translations it is not. In Hebrew, using the definite article "ha" before Elohim (in context) would be a reference to The Apex. Would not the Greek have something similar using a Greek "definite article? Thanks

I'm not familiar with Augustin's dialogue with the king of England. Perhaps that word is important. There are many great words to include here, I just limited them to 10. As for "katara" vs "anathema", it's hard to tell if there are significant differences. To compare two words, each needs to be studied in contexts where they appear. The lexicons do not contrast them or discuss any differences. I assume they are somewhat synonymous. I might be wrong though.

It should be 2 Cor 13:13. NA28 which I use does not have 13:14

Thanks for the great question. The answer is more theological than grammatical. There are various ways to look at the word "logos." These ways are not really exclusive but rather complementary. To answer this question I would need to go to the commentaries and dictionaries, so if you have access to a good library you will be able to do your own research. You would find the same information. All the best.

Ma’am?! 😲 Junjun, I am not sure I can help you here. Even if i wrote it for you, it would not be a solid ground for theological debate. It is not how it works. At the same time, i am confident that your unitarian friends misunderstand Jn 1:1a. The least what it says is that the word was already in the beginning, that is, it had been before time.

@@GreekForAll Hi sir (sorry to add "ma'am" earlier. My bad). I Appreacite your response but for me it is a solid ground for debate specially my Unitarian friends abuse the language and use it to descredit the deity of Christ in John 1:1a. I am hoping that you will still help me with this. Thank you and God bless!

@junjun Lucino It's hard to answer your question because it is not what John 1:1a is saying. It simply states that when the beginning started, the Word was already there. It does not speak about the beginning of the Word. It could reference to Gen 1:1, it could reference to the creation of the universe, or it could point to the beginning of time. The point remains the same, whatever it refers to the Word (Jesus) was already there when that beginning moment came. It is more theological question than grammar question.

@@GreekForAll hi sir thanks for the response. Sir for now I am not asking what John 1:1a actually say but for a particular Greek sentence i.e. "The Word has a beginning". How to write such in Greek? Thanks sir. God bless you more!

@@thepreacherxi5353 I do not usually translate from English into Greek, yet the literal word-for-word translation of "the word has a beginning" would be ὅ λόγος ἔχει ἀρχή

The last prepositional phrase has a typo or two or seems to have some confusion. Otherwise, it should go as "The good children are led by the evil prophet to his ..." (the feminine article is unclear, most likely a mistake). Maybe the larger context could clarify it, but as a single sentence it makes no sense.

@@GreekForAll Thank you so much! This is an exercise in a biblical Greek textbook. I think the translation the author meant was: The good children are led by the evil prophet to himself. Possible?

@@stevenwinn6768 I was thinking about this possibility but it is grammatically unlikely. "to himself" could be written in 2 ways: 1. "pros eauton" (this a reflexive pronoun which you probably did not study yet), 2. "pros auton" (literally "to him" or "to himself"). what is written there is something unusual especially the feminine article. Most likely this is what the author wanted to say but did not do it correctly.

@@GreekForAll Really appreciate your input. I am subscribing to your channel. :)

@@stevenwinn6768 which exactly textbook it is?

Made my day! ❤️

Thanks. will try

Great question. The apostasy ἀποστασία comes from 2 words: apo = from, away, out of; histemi = to stand, place, put. Literally it would mean "to stand away from" or simply "to depart." So it means apostasy or rebellion as one departs from faith.

@@GreekForAll Thank you so much for your great explanation

@@GreekForAll , thanks!

Christology is a deep question. It developed over the years among first Christians. In scripture it could be seen in two ways: 1. The context. Usually it helps to see that kurios means way more than just a human master. 2. Often Jesus is attributed the Yahweh texts from the OT (Septuagint), where the word Kurios was used to translate Hebrew Yahweh.

@@GreekForAll Thank you very much. I was perplexed by this because someone I know studied Greek by himself and told people that Jesus is not God, and there is nowhere in the text that says Jesus is Lord or God if we read in the original language. I was so confused…. But I believe that Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit is three different person and one God! Thank you and God bless you!!

Absolutely! There are many good words to share, and that one would be great as well!

Kosmos

@@GreekForAll Is world the only way to translate the Greek word Kosmos? Thank you very much!

@@jolookstothestars6358 it means the “world”, however the world itself can mean different things: 1. The earth/planet 2. People of the world 3. Universe 4. Evil/sinful realm Etc. There are also other words which mean these things, somewhat synonyms. They also should be thrown into equation. In brief, the context usually helps to determine which meaning should be used.

@@GreekForAll I think I should have ask you this question sence you know Greek. Do you believe John 1:29 truly(literally)means the whole world?

@@jolookstothestars6358 this is not really a Greek grammar question but a theology question. In Greek it says “the sin of the world”. What it means is a theology question. I believe kosmos(world) means here our world and I think it means the whole world. It could also mean the original sin of Adam / mankind (that is the original sin of this world). It’s better to check some commentaries. I bet scholars already offered lots of solutions and propositions on what it could mean.

Could you elaborate a little more on your question? I'm not sure I fully understand the question.

@@GreekForAll When I speak to Jehovah witness they claim that the Greek manuscripts translates the Holy Spirit as a “it” instead of “He” to denounce the deity of the Holy Spirit. The say our interpretation of the Holy Spirit is incorrect and the new world translation is correct.

@@uno23437 Wow. They are just ignorant. Greek gender has nothing to do with physical gender. It is purely grammatical based on word endings. The word "pneuma" is indeed Neuter, but so is the word "teknon" = child. Give them John 14:26 where the Holy Spirit is referred to by two masculine words: "But the Helper (masc), the Holy Spirit (neut.), whom the Father will send in my name, he (mask) will teach you all things."

αἰών = age, eternity

@@GreekForAll Thank you for the reply! So this word can be used for both an age and eternity right? It depends on the context it is used?

@@rdworkman7795 Absolutely.

This is 1 Tim 3:15. It has a few interesting elements which require more thinking: (a) how to translate ινα in the context (need to look into syntax), (b) to what the feminine relative pronoun ητις refer (since there are no feminine words in the context)? I will think about it but don't promise to reply soon.

@@GreekForAll thank u very much sir....

I will give it a go, depending on your typos and grammar of course: " so as to know that you need to live in the house of the Lord which is the church of the living God a pillar and foundation of the truth" hope that helps and God bless you

This question has 2 parts: 1. There are 5500+ NT manuscripts. As far as I know there is no NT manuscript which contains the word "Jehovah." So it is just a hypothesis that perhaps some NT manuscripts were in Hebrew and had "Jehovah" in them. However, none of those manuscripts exist today, so this will only remain a hypothesis. All available Greek manuscripts do not have the word "Jehovah" in them (as fas as I know). 2. There are several manuscript families based on location and time: Alexandrian (1-9 centuries/ Egypt), Western (3-9 cent/West Europe), Byzantine (5-15 cent/Eastern Europe/Asia Minor) etc. KJV is based on the Byzantine manuscripts. Other Bible translations may be based on other manuscripts. Again, none of the Greek manuscripts has the word "Jehovah" in them.

prototokos in the NT bears a figurative or messianic meaning as a title. It doesn't point to the order of brith. When this title is applied to Jesus, it's always messianic because David is also called the firstborn in Psalm 89:27 (even though he was the last child in his family). In Col 1:15, the phrase "firstborn of all creation" really means "firstborn above all creation" or "firstborn superior to all creation" or "existing prior to all creation". It is implausible to render the text as if Jesus is the first to be created, since the following verses distance Jesus from creation stating that “in him all things were created ... all things have been created through him and for him.” Thus, a better rendering of the phrase should be “over all creation.” In other words, “the title proclaims Christ as the preexistent mediator, sustainer, and goal of creation."

@@GreekForAll thank you sir🙏

@@GreekForAll sir even though please do a video on "prototokos " please.

@@user-iq4uz4sh7g will do. Thanks for the suggestion

Thank you for the request. I specialise in the Apocalypse and read hundreds of books, commentaries, and articles on it. But I can’t recall any prophetic interpretation based on the names of the seven cities. I agree that there is a prophetic understanding of the seven churches but it doesn’t derive from the names. If you could direct me in this, I would love to learn something new.

@@GreekForAll There's a theological line that believes the chosen churches, were chosen for at least two reasons. The first one: the churches had the problems mentioned on the letters, this is what called immediate meaning. But they also symbolize the whole church history until the time of the church is completed or the grace period ends. That means yes, they existed that time, but also they represent the whole grace, church, period that is going have its end on the third chapter of Apocalypse. When we read Apoca 1:19 We have in there three distinct tenses. Write the things that you have seen: The glorified Christ, exactly what happens between verses 1 and 18 of the first chapter, then the angel says, write the things that are: It is believed that is the whole time of the churches for the verb tense is always present when describind their problems. And then John is told: write the things that must must take place later. As you can see, we have three divisions to start this book. And of course after chapter three you don't hear about the church until the opening of the fifth seal when on verses 9-11 the martyrs of all eras of the church ask God to punish evil on earth and then, we have the opening of the sixth seal and here happens the rapture to prove it we just need to see that revelation 7:1-8 we have the sealing of the Jewish people with the seal of the Living God, but not the Lamb's seal because they don’t believe in Him, for this reason the Jewish people must pass through the Great Tribulation they will not be removed from it and the seal is to grant them to be alive by the end of this period., the reason is explained in Apoca 2:26-27 and also in Apoco 3:10 they do not believe in Jesus and for this reason they remain on earth, but the Christians because they believe God and also Jesus you can see, they were raptured in Apoca 7:9-11 As you can see those described in those verses they came from Great Tribulation and not from The Great Tribulation and the reason is simple, The Great Tribulation starts with the with the sounding of the trumpets. You can also see in Apoca 8:1 When the seventh seal is opened even the heavens was astonished by the sight of those events shown to them. John says that for about half an hour no living being on heaven made any sound. Because what was coming had never ever happened before, even the angelics beings were surprised by the severity of the judgment to come. And in Apoca 3:10 God made a promise and because of that He is going to remove the victorious christians before this time of trials. Not all christians will participate on the first resurrection or the millennial kingdom. I apologize for the long answer, but is hard do make it shorter. For this reason if you could please verify the meaning for the names of every one of the seven churches, we can place them in time. I do believe we're living the time of the last church or the church of Laodicea. If we Read Apoca 3:17. I do believe the church has never been this rich in its whole history. May God bless you and your whole family. Thank you for taking the time to answer me.

@@melquesedekcastro7480 thank you for sharing. I am familiar with the historic periods seen in 7 churches. But this understanding is not connected to the churches names in any way. At least, I am not aware of it nor I read anybody making such connection. These are just Greek cities in which the churches were located. I am not sure I can make a video which you are asking about. Sorry.

@@GreekForAll I understand that they are names, but please remember in Hebrew the names aren't only names, they also have meanings or are related to an experience. Jacob was changed to Israel, Abram to Abraham. Correct me if I am wrong the church of Pergamum what words make up the name Pergamum? Is it related to any way or shape to the word marriage? If that's the case the church that was married to the Roman Empire was the church of the fourth century. I am trying to understand the formation the words that made up all the names of the seven churches. Philadelphia( Brotherly love) I do believe it was the church of the 18 Century century because all the missionaries all around the world and the love they really had for God. Thank you.

@@GreekForAll That's ok, maybe it is not a subject for a video. But, could you please tell me how those names were formed, what are the words that make the names of the churches? Thank you in advance. You said that you like Apocalypse. Let me ask you about chapter 12. Who do you believe is the woman and also the son on that passage? See, I am a brazilian and you a Greek but in Jesus we are all one. We have at least two things in common, our love for the Lord and the English language. In Jesus' time it was the Greek.

Could you be more specific? There are about two millennia of traditions. Thanks.

@@GreekForAll The Mother of the Church...Mary. Her role in Salvation and her miracles. And quotes on her by the saints. It’ll be fun.

@@mathewsbiju3251 Thanks for the suggestion. I represent the protestant tradition which bases its teachings on the Scripture alone. Thus, my views on saints and Mary are quite different. I've been raised in the orthodox culture, so I'm familiar a little with the teachings regarding Mary. Thank you for the recommendations.

@@GreekForAll Hmm, it’s odd that you know the Catholic Church has been here since the time of apostles. Why not be Catholic?

@@mathewsbiju3251 I think all Christians can share heritage of the early church (1-2 centuries), it does not belong exclusively to the Catholic Church. The reason why I am not a Catholic is the question of the ultimate authority. For RCC it is the pope and traditions. Ideally they should agree with the Scriptures, however, in reality they conflict often. For protestants, the final authority for the conscience is in the scriptures. Compare 10 commandments in the Bible with the 10 commandments in the catechism and you will see that they are different. Connect the dots and you will understand what happened to the 2nd one, 3rd, and the 10th. Which 10 commandments will you prefer: (a) the biblical one, or (b) the RCC one. This pretty much explains why I'm not a Catholic.

I meant to say the way you explained. Perhaps it just sounded differently. I appreciate the point. Will do better next time.

Hey Tanya, thank you for your support and recommendations. I guess, it's all about the pronunciation approach. You advise me to follow the modern Greek pronunciation, while I simply use the Erasmus pronunciation (since it is commonly used for beginner students). So it is not that I mispronounce Koine, I just use different pronunciation school. I'm familiar with modern one and agree with it at many points, at one point I may switch in my videos. You are appreciated.

Absolutely! The law defines sin, the blood of Jesus saves sinners from the penalty. So living within the boundaries of the law by God's grace and power is the righteous living. Jesus did it, so should we. And if we fall, then we have the perfect sacrifice to atone our sins and to cleans us from all unrighteousness.

Hmm, not sure. Nothing comes to my mind at the moment where Jesus used Greek words. He was from Galilee, highly Hellenized province, so hypothetically he knew Greek. What's your own opinion to your question?

@@GreekForAll I think based on Jesus' command "Little girl, get up" in Aramaic as well as his quoting Ps. 22 from the cross, again in Aramaic we may confidently assume Jesus spoke that language. Greek was universal in trade thanks to Alexander and is the language of the autographs, so perhaps most of the time Jesus and the disciples conversed in Greek. This would seem natural, all of The Lord's public speeches are quoted in Greek so unless the Gospels are a translated transcription we may assume Jesus also spoke Greek. When He inaugurated his ministry "Today, in your hearing, the prophesy is fulfilled" he was almost surely reading from the LXX, the Greek OT.

@@uncareid5557 Totally agree!

Yeah, it's a good one! Thanks.

Thank you for the question and the request. I will look into it and do a research. If Greek provides any extra light, I will address it. Blessings.

Amen! The key phrase is "led by the Spirit." The Spirit cannot lead us into sin, so when led by the Spirit we cannot sin, that is, we fulfill the law perfectly. That is why we are not condemned by it (not under it). With this in mind, how often a good christian slips into sin. It happens, right!? In that moment, the Spirit didn't lead the Christian, he walked by his own will and brought himself under the condemnation of the law. So my understanding is that "being under the law" or "not being under the law" is a daily matter.

I journey of a 1000 miles starts with the first step. :)

I would not rush with the conclusion that the entire NT was written in Rome. There are much evidences that most of it was written elsewhere.

the Roman upper classes used to interact in Greek as a sign of nobility!! same as in 18-19 century Europe the aristocrats needed French as a dialect!! nothing makes any of them a con,,,,, (?) Greek circa 0 AD was the language of all the EAST MEDITERRANEAN basin for millions of people, just as today half the planet speaks English as a second language, none of them is William Shakespeare but do they need to be? What is your point?

The more English grammar you violate the more expert you sound about the Greek grammar. In Greek, the article doesn’t make a word into a noun.

Welcome KJV-only advocate! I do not intend to engage in meaningless debates with you. I love KJV yet the KJV-only proponents are mistaken on many levels. I'm glad you study God's word. All the best to you.
