Good Use of AI: Classics for NT folk
I was missing part of this sentence from the Nichomachean Ethics, so I asked GPT to explain this to someone who knows NT Greek but hasn't read much Classical Greek. Here's what I asked: I'm better at NT greek than this ;-> help me understand each phrase. Here's what it gave me - I'll have to try thi...

Re: Introduction - Is teaching Greek based on a fraud?
Welcome to B-Greek! How many words are in your post? I think there are three answers: 1. The post contains 312 words. 2. It contains 164 distinct inflected forms - the definition you seem to be using. 3. It contains about 148 headwords (this is approximate) So how many words are there in the Greek N...

Re: greetings
How do you approach parsing verbs and understanding aspect in NT Greek do you use specific tools or rely on manual analysis? Hi Laura - can you give a little context for your question? You may be asking "how do I learn to read Greek". Or maybe you are asking "how can I use computer t...

Re: Servant of Jesus Christ
Remarcable: only the Introductions of the Letters of Jude and James have the Word Order ιησου χριστου (or:χρισταυ ιησου) δουλος. Id didn’t find this order in the other Catholic/Pauline letters in any transcription of the INTF/IGNTP. According to the ECM-Catholic Letters Jude has in the mss 180, 175...

Paul identifies himself as a servant of Jesus Christ, Παῦλος δοῦλος Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ (Romans 1:1) Jude makes the same identification, Ἰούδας Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ δοῦλος (Jude 1:1) Is there any nuance to Jude's word order? In Greek, the usual order would be δοῦλος Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ (servant of Christ Jesus), with...

Re: Hello all forum members
I think that the combination of the available English translations rule out much difference between the meaning of the Greek and the meaning conveyed in English. Yet I think you miss a lot when you read in English. Particularly the very different writing styles of each author and the "feel&quo...

The original post also asked for examples with word choice. Here are some - again, feel free to push back or disagree. Or add new ones! ἱλαστήριον Hyperliteral translation: "place of atonement / propitiatory covering" Comment: This word can mean the lid of the ark (the "mercy seat&quo...

Re: Hello all forum members
First off, I do think there is a lot of hype, but I don't think translations convey everything. Here are some examples involving tense and aspect - feel free to push back or disagree with my understanding of any of them: πᾶς ὁ πίνων ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος τούτου διψήσει πάλιν, ὃς δ’ ἂν πῇ ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος οὗ ἐγ...
