Any one studying the Greek New testament?
Greek is way different than the Vulgar English.
Koiné means Common. FYI, it is different than the Modern Greek language.
Greek has a lot to it.. you know that you can spell the definite article "THE" 27 different ways and they have different meanings?..
English has 3 tenses, (Past, Present and Future)
Greek has 5!
Greek has
5 Tenses (PRESENT TENSE, AORIST TENSE, PERFECT TENSE, IMPERFECT TENSE, FUTURE TENSE)
5 Cases (Nominative Case, Genitive Case, Dative Case, Accusative Case, Vocative Case)
3 genders (Male Female and neuter)
3 moods (Active, Passive, Middle)
There is even more to it than that when you get in to singular and plural.
I love it, but what is amazing is that God's word is more than what we have in English.
