I’ve been reading through Greek New Testament too using Master New Testament Greek, by Darryl Burling. And I too, went on a quest, for the best GNT. Looking forward to your other reviews, thanks Matt!
Wow, what a timely video; I am 17 years old, 2 years old spiritually, and I am endeavoring to teach myself Greek through the aid of online programs. I just begun this week, I’ve learned the alphabet, breathing marks, and some of the grammar rules. How should I go about learning vocabulary? Any advice?
I would go to the free app SBL Greek New Testament (SBLGNT). Every word it is tagged, and it automatically builds your searched voacabulary on every chapter. You can also listen to it! It has an excellent (Wallace's) reading plan from easy to difficult, with schedule
So timely. I’m on day 4 of Greek for Ministry I and this is the version we are using. Just curious, to all the commenters, how did you feel when you first read the Greek word logos in John 1? We hear it and say it, but to read it in the original language was moving. Or, was it something else that captured the beauty of the original language of the New Testament for you?
The problem with the NA28, in my humble opinion, is that it does not give all the significant variations between itself and the Byzantine majority. It should be more thorough in that regard, I think.
@@Pastor-Brettbyfaith "The reason I dont trust the KJV is that it was originally translated and printed with all of the apocryphal books." Presumably you see the way this argument fails. Similarly, Jude quotes Enoch, a non-canonical book. Do you distrust the inspired book, Jude, because it cites a non-canonical presumably uninspired book? It is all something to think about. Sinaiticus gets a very bad reputation from KJVO folk, but no one every claimed it was perfect--just exceptionally useful, complete, and early.
@cmiddleton9872 Jude didn’t quote Enoch, it was viceversa. Enoch was written through a couple of centuries including after the New Testament. Also there is evidence that the text of Enoch was Jenn changed through years.
I have three books I use for my Greek. I had the common 4 semesters in my MDiv program. I use the UBS Fifth addition. I also have "The Greek New Testament" According to the Majority Text by Hodges & Farstad, and also have a Reader's Hebrew and Greek Bible. I found Hebrew easier though, so I focused on the Old Testament in my MDiv. I have plans to start my ThD in Old Testament Textual Criticism in the Fall of 2021.
Do you think you could comment on Greek fonts? I have Goodrich-Lukaszewski Zondervan 2007 and find the font somewhat difficult. I can't find a font name listed. I am more used to that used by Bill Mounce or Logos Bible software. In my Greek NT, the eta, mu, and tau have thick, heavy lower tips and the kappa looks like an X.
That font is horrible. The third edition by them is better. Tyndale has the best font. The book is amazing, the paper is thick, and the font is fantastic. And it's like $13 at Christian book.com. I have the one you have, the tyndale, and the NA. I love my Tyndale.
Excellent introduction! Just a minor point of clarification, at 6:33, the chart refers only to the Catholic Epistles and not the entire NT. Looking forward to your future reviews!
I noticed that there are several different types of NA28 - some are called FL, others with dictionary and another one with a translation to english. Which one should i get?
Depends on what you're looking to do. Like I like the Greek and Latin (Novum Testamentum Graece et Latine) version because they have not only the different Greek readings but they also put the different Latin readings, which adds another layer for trying to see how the text developed
You went to Malone?! I live around 15 minutes from the campus! Love your channel and all you do! I am currently self-teaching Greek, Latin, and learning Hebrew over Zoom so this peaked my interest! God bless!

Amen!
I am waiting for NA50.

Reading John 1 in Greek was definitely devotional, and an inspiration to stick with it in studying Biblical Greek
Watch out... all my Covenanter friends will have a fit over this one :)

@@cmiddleton9872 Protestantism desteoys the meaning of "Apocrypha".
Totally agree the Tyndale house had a better apparatus the best apparatus was F35
@@lloydcrooks712 I plan on getting the f35. It seems nice. Just wish there was a better edition than a flimsy paperback.

One thing I've noticed is Greek Bibles tend not to give you space for note-taking.
Where do I find this testament being read!?!

I’ve got a reading plan if you want it! I’ve done it a few times!!
Please share with the class! :)

What is the best one for beginners?
I hope you will do a video of the TBS TR.
Does this original text use the Alexandrian 100 %, or also Byzantinian renderings sometimes and Western and Cesarean? All the best
Aren’t they the ones who added (thus he declared all foods clean) in Mark 7:19?
It’s also in Textus Receptus, UBS5 and Tyndale House GNT (“καθαρίζων πάντα τὰ βρώματα”)?
@@andrewsoh8592 hmmm are you sure about that?
@@anthonyjames4319 You can easily check it out.
@@andrewsoh8592 if it were in Textus Receptus then why isn’t it in the KJV or NKJV?
@@anthonyjames4319 I was only pointing out what was in the Greek manuscripts. Why the KJV /NKJV chose not to translate it is beyond my expertise.

Is this the large print edition?
interesting. but its letter seems to be very small.
That's the Greek NT that I want! Too bad those are not readily available in our country.
So God's word always needs to change? The NA textual basis is so divided that it needs so many changes every time ?
I can't take that seriously.
So, you are clearly explaining that the original evangelical text is unknown ?
OOPSSSSSSS !!!!!!!!
