Introduction to Greek for non-Greek students

7.1. Introduction to Greek for non-Greek students
The previous chapters gave a general introduction to the Greek language. In this chapter, I explain how to study the Greek text with TW and ES. The book of 2 John is used as a point of departure. You may use another book, passage or verse from scripture to do what we are doing here. Whichever one you choose, you should always try to understand the meaning of the text in its original, before starting to apply and make use of the meaning. Some parts of this chapter may appear to be technical. It is important to go through all of it, maybe a few times, with your Bible open!
The following steps will be taken:
· I will read 2 John in the NET translation and a few other translations.
· I will read 2 John, section by section in the Greek text (Greek Interlinear TR +#), having the transliterated text (Translit ES) and the Greek text with morphological code (Greek LXX+# and Byz/MT NT +#) open.
· I will study the text of verses 1-3 in detail, paying attention to the grammar and the words, with the help of Robertson and Vincent.
