Years ago, there was a souvlaki joint in Astoria New York called, “Jesus The Greek” - they made the best lamb kebab, and if you ordered the ‘Cana Wedding luncheon’ you got served a half litre of their house wine for the price of a 500 ml bottled water; I also recall such specialties as ‘The Last Supper Paschal Lamb dinner platter”, the ‘Road to Emmaus on-the-go gyros’, and ‘The Fishes & Barley Loaves Double-Decker sandwhich’.

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
Shalom, based on your Greek knowledge, can you explain the following words: Theou, theon, theos I know you discussed the word Theos by itself yet many say these 3 words mean the same thing? Thanks
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
Textual criticism is relevant to every Christian, precisely because many of the textual differences in Greek can be translated into another language Dan Wallace, Dallas Seminary
Thank you for the Greek videos. They are very helpful! I am stumped in trying to translate the following sentence. Can you help me? τὰ καλὰ τέκνα ἄγεται ϋπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ προφήτου πρὸς τὴν αὐτοῦ.
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.
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.
Excellent video and very good explanations! A small feedback on your pronounciation, Θεός is pronounced theos not thios and νομός is prounounced nomos not nomas. The last example is something that I hear often from americans when trying to pronounce -os endings, they often sound more like -as instead.
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.
when st Augustin first came to England he spoke to the king about escaping the wrath of God, do you think that wrath is an important word and should be included in the top 10. Could you please answer a question , I understand that there are 2 greek words for 'curse' Anathama and katara, is there as distinction between these words.
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.
Hi sir/ma'am. Good day. can I ask how to say/write "The word has a beginning" in Koine Greek? I just want to know because my Unitarian friends insist that in John 1:1a John shows that the Word has a beginning. Thank you so much. God bless your work!
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
Εν αρχή ην ο Λόγος, και ο Λόγος ην προς τον Θεόν, και Θεός ην ο Λόγος. In the beginning was the the reason, and the reason (of necessity) was unto God and God was the reason. Still today we use Λογος / reason, necessity like: Για ποιο λογο, δεν υπαρχει λογος (For what reason, there is no reason or necessity for...) It is only the way how i understand it. It makes more sence for me.
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!!
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.
@@Eagle1349 Thanks, I appreciate your support. We have some great resources on our website: www.greekforall.com Paradigms, posters, ebooks, video courses, apps, and more is coming. If you buy something, it will support my ministry and I thank you in advance. Blessings to you.
Praise the Lord sir. Can you explain the Colossians 1:15 ( prototokos ) is used in literal way or figurative way. Is jesus really created being or not? Please reveal it. Jehovah's witness say he created being. Please provide an information, please, please.
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."
@@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.
@@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.
I have a question and I pray someone can help me. I am trying to find someone who knows how to read the original Greek Holy Bible and so glad I found this video. I'm trying to help someone understand that the KJV is correct and says that "man" changed the wording taking Jehovah out among other words that is to be in the Bible. This is what the JW believe. Can someone help me explain this and if this person is right or wrong. Does the KJV say exactly what the original Holy Bible says?
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.
@@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."
Let me ask you a favor. Could you explain the name of the seven churches from the three first chapter of Revelation. The Lord chosen the seven churches because they were and because they had a prophetic meaning and the prophetic meaning is related to their names and what they signify in Greek. Could you please?
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.
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.
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
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.
@@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.
@@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 like the explanation of John 1:1. "word was God". But Jehovah's witnesses saying "word was A God". But I believe Jesus was God. Not A God. Thanks with agape ⚘⚘
You are very sweet, BUT PLEASE word KAI means AND, Pronounced "ke" e as in elephant not kaee. It spoils the devotion when I hear this word so mispronounced. Please ask a greek priest, he can assist you in ALL Greek diphgthongs, double vowel sounds. I like the way you explain and show in Greek and Koine language. I will continue giving you "thumbs up" thank you, Tanya from Sydney Australia.
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.
Hey can you please talk about what the Bible says about homosexuality in the original language? There are rumors going around that the Bible is mistranslated and is actually talking about pedophilia instead of homosexuality. I know that this is not true, but many people believe this false teaching. Can you please make a video debunking this?
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.
The Beginning as in John 1:1: God the Father existed in solitude. Subsequently, God the Father initiated the act of 'creation,' marking the definitive ‘beginning’. How does God the Father Creates? He generates without the use of raw materials, machinery, or laborers, creating from absolute nothingness. When He desires to bring something into existence, He merely commands it, ‘be’ and it comes into being. What is the ‘word’? The ‘word’ is the word of God the Father, namely, ‘be’. We and everything around us are the ‘words’ of God the Father. I am a word of God; you are the word of God; Jesus was the word of God; Moses was the word of God; the universe is the word of God; everything is the word of God! All came into existence with word ‘be’!
Christ, the Greek nickname for Jesus (Χριστος) means someone who has the Chrism from God to be the king like the Profit Samuel put oil to David to be the King of Israel. Chrism is that action and Christ (Χριστος) is this who God Chrismed him to be the new "King" of the new Israel the Christians if it make any sense in English
But we are dead to the law, and not under law, and discharged from the law. As many as are led by the Spirit are not under Law. "the law was our schoolmaster to lead us to Christ, but now that faith has come we are no longer under the schoolmaster. "No longer under", "no longer under", "no longer under".
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.
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 word was with the god. that's how it reads in greek, the (THE) makes it a noun so when translated the word is instead of the god it translates GOD. this guy is lieing. Jesus is not GOD he is god like.
Don’t need the Greek, God preserved his words in the Kings English which corrects the Greek. Which septuagint are you referring too from Gnostic Origen’s hexapla? Deuteronomy 8:3 Matthew 4:4 Luke 4:4 ________________________ 16:11 King James Bible Genesis 1:1 (44 Letters, 17 Vowels, 27 Consonants, 10 Words) Revelation 22:21 (44 Letters, 17 Vowels, 27 Consonants, 12 Words) Points to the author of the book 1 John 5:7 (88 Letters, 34 Vowels, 54 Consonants, 22 words) Psalm 119 has 176 verses. 16x11= 176 27 books in the NT 16+11=27 Just some golden nuggets that the original autographs couldn’t produce.
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.
a little bit of testual criticism If the doctrine of the divine inspiration of the Old and NT Scriptures is a true doctrine the doctrine of the providential preservation of these Scriptures must also be a true doctrine. It must be that down through the centuries God has exercised a special providential control God must have done this In other words, preservation proceeds from and is a necessary consequence of inspiration. Or, in the words of Jasper James Ray, "the writing of the Word of God by inspiration is no greater miracle than the miracle of its preservation Dan Wallace join mewe/Learn Biblical greek for quizzes and highlights of textual criticism

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
Shalom, based on your Greek knowledge, can you explain the following words:
Theou, theon, theos
I know you discussed the word Theos by itself yet many say these 3 words mean the same thing? Thanks
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 like it, helps me alot
God bless you sir
Explain HELPER in greek plz !
Λόγος means also ratio. And this is how I understand "εν αρχή ην ο λόγος"
At the start was the ratio.
Loved this teaching ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
Blessings to you!
High five!!! Many thanks 😊🙏
You're welcome 😊
Good teaching
Much appreciated.
Very good.
Many many thanks
I would've had "Εύαγγελιου" as bonus word. After all it's what our Lord Jesus Christ came to teach us while he was here.
Thanks. It would be a great word!
i found out the verse of Ιησους Χριστος,it is not 2 Cor 13:13,it is 13:14. am I right?
It should be 2 Cor 13:13. NA28 which I use does not have 13:14
got them all....
Textual criticism is relevant to every Christian, precisely because many of the textual differences in Greek can be translated into another language

Thank you for the Greek videos. They are very helpful! I am stumped in trying to translate the following sentence. Can you help me?
τὰ καλὰ τέκνα ἄγεται ϋπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ προφήτου πρὸς τὴν αὐτοῦ.
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.

In John chapter 1 in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God. Can you please explain what “word” means to the Greeks?
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.
Excellent video and very good explanations! A small feedback on your pronounciation, Θεός is pronounced theos not thios and νομός is prounounced nomos not nomas. The last example is something that I hear often from americans when trying to pronounce -os endings, they often sound more like -as instead.
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.
when st Augustin first came to England he spoke to the king about escaping the wrath of God, do you think that wrath is an important word and should be included in the top 10.
Could you please answer a question , I understand that there are 2 greek words for 'curse' Anathama and katara, is there as distinction between these words.
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.
Hi sir/ma'am. Good day. can I ask how to say/write "The word has a beginning" in Koine Greek? I just want to know because my Unitarian friends insist that in John 1:1a John shows that the Word has a beginning.
Thank you so much. God bless your work!
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
that alpha in front of some words is similar to English construction: moral vs amoral.
Well noted!
Εν αρχή ην ο Λόγος, και ο Λόγος ην προς τον Θεόν, και Θεός ην ο Λόγος. In the beginning was the the reason, and the reason (of necessity) was unto God and God was the reason. Still today we use Λογος / reason, necessity like: Για ποιο λογο, δεν υπαρχει λογος (For what reason, there is no reason or necessity for...) It is only the way how i understand it. It makes more sence for me.
How do we know if κύριος is used for Jesus in the sense that He is God and not just a human master?
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!!
Thank you so much for the video. Would Apistes be the origin of Apostate?
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.

Praise the Lord sir.
Can you explain the Colossians 1:15 ( prototokos ) is used in literal way or figurative way.
Is jesus really created being or not?
Please reveal it.
Jehovah's witness say he created being.
Please provide an information, please, please.
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.

Help how does world translate in the New Testament in Greek?
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.
I need the English pronunciation. How am I to know what he's saying?
Made my day! ❤️
I have a question and I pray someone can help me. I am trying to find someone who knows how to read the original Greek Holy Bible and so glad I found this video. I'm trying to help someone understand that the KJV is correct and says that "man" changed the wording taking Jehovah out among other words that is to be in the Bible. This is what the JW believe. Can someone help me explain this and if this person is right or wrong. Does the KJV say exactly what the original Holy Bible says?
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.
What about The HOLY SPIRIT?
Absolutely! There are many good words to share, and that one would be great as well!
Do you have one that properly translates the Holy Spirit Greek to English?
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."
What is the greek word for eternity?
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.
Let me ask you a favor. Could you explain the name of the seven churches from the three first chapter of Revelation. The Lord chosen the seven churches because they were and because they had a prophetic meaning and the prophetic meaning is related to their names and what they signify in Greek. Could you please?
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.
can u pls help me translate this
ινα ειδης πως δει ενοικω Θεου αναστρεφεσθαι ητις εστιν εκκλησια Θεου ζωντος στυλος καιε δραιωμα της αληθειας.
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.

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
Logos is more close to "verb"... Denotes "action".
Wrong if you don’t go beyond what the law requires you are living in sin. The law defines sin Gal 3:22a
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.

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 like the explanation of John 1:1. "word was God". But Jehovah's witnesses saying "word was A God". But I believe Jesus was God. Not A God. Thanks with agape ⚘⚘

You are very sweet, BUT PLEASE word KAI means AND, Pronounced "ke" e as in elephant not kaee. It spoils the devotion when I hear this word so mispronounced. Please ask a greek priest, he can assist you in ALL Greek diphgthongs, double vowel sounds.
I like the way you explain and show in Greek and Koine language. I will continue giving you "thumbs up" thank you, Tanya from Sydney Australia.
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.
Θεός is pronounced as the-os not thee-os. Thee-os actually means divine or uncle.
I meant to say the way you explained. Perhaps it just sounded differently. I appreciate the point. Will do better next time.

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.
Stan do you think Jesus spoke greek?
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!
Another one Christians should know: Metanoia = repentance

Dear brother, Ιησούς should be pronounced as Yesous

The Beginning as in John 1:1:
God the Father existed in solitude. Subsequently, God the Father initiated the act of 'creation,' marking the definitive ‘beginning’.
How does God the Father Creates?
He generates without the use of raw materials, machinery, or laborers, creating from absolute nothingness. When He desires to bring something into existence, He merely commands it, ‘be’ and it comes into being.
What is the ‘word’?
The ‘word’ is the word of God the Father, namely, ‘be’. We and everything around us are the ‘words’ of God the Father. I am a word of God; you are the word of God; Jesus was the word of God; Moses was the word of God; the universe is the word of God; everything is the word of God! All came into existence with word ‘be’!
Christ, the Greek nickname for Jesus (Χριστος) means someone who has the Chrism from God to be the king like the Profit Samuel put oil to David to be the King of Israel. Chrism is that action and Christ (Χριστος) is this who God Chrismed him to be the new "King" of the new Israel the Christians if it make any sense in English
But we are dead to the law, and not under law, and discharged from the law. As many as are led by the Spirit are not under Law. "the law was our schoolmaster to lead us to Christ, but now that faith has come we are no longer under the schoolmaster. "No longer under", "no longer under", "no longer under".
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.

It's interesting, is it not, that the New Testament was written in Rome ... in Greek ... almost as if it's a con.
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.

θεός= god O θεός = The god, translation GOD. Jesus is not GOD, Jehovah is Almighty GOD!
the word was with the god. that's how it reads in greek, the (THE) makes it a noun so when translated the word is instead of the god it translates GOD. this guy is lieing. Jesus is not GOD he is god like.
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.

a little bit of testual criticism
If the doctrine of the divine inspiration of the Old and NT Scriptures is a true doctrine the doctrine of the providential preservation of these Scriptures must also be a true doctrine. It must be that down through the centuries God has exercised a special providential control God must have done this In other words, preservation proceeds from and is a necessary consequence of inspiration. Or, in the words of Jasper James Ray, "the writing of the Word of God by inspiration is no greater miracle than the miracle of its preservation
