Re: Analytical lexicon inquiry (physical book)

Thank you. But what I'm hoping to be able to do is, while reading a Greek bible, to hover over a word and have all its forms show up in a table in a pop-out window, or something to that effect. I hope this isn't too much to ask. :oops:

Re: Analytical lexicon inquiry (physical book)

I just got Logos and Accordance (still deciding which to use as my main app). What could I get that would provide this functionality that I can just hover over a word and all forms (inflections) would already be listed?

Re: ἐκ in John 1:35

Sorry about that. I looked into many translations, even Young's Literal, none translated ἐκ. But you did answer my question. Thank you. I just looked the word up again in my lexicon and saw 'partitively of ' in one of the definitions, but I really couldn't have understood it without reading your exp...

Re: stop and parse vs. read on and let it percolate

Good! I assume you mean this reading plan? https://www.ntgreekstudies.net/blog/gnt-reading-plan-increasing-difficulty I think it's REALLY helpful to start with simple Greek, read a lot of it, then work your way up. It gets you into reading mode and thinking in Greek instead of always being in analy...

Re: stop and parse vs. read on and let it percolate

A pericope is basically anything between headings in most Bibles. Oh, so you mean to read more than a few verses. I only have around 30 minutes a day. I guess I'll have to try to find more time. FWIW, it might be helpful to keep reading fairly simple Greek, such in the Gospel of John, before taking...

Re: stop and parse vs. read on and let it percolate

Read pericopes, not verses. Later, when it's easier, read sections, not verses. Read each pericope five times or so. Often, you understand it better each time, you see things that you kind of knew but now you recognize them. I don't understand what periscopes and sections are compared to verses. Wh...

stop and parse vs. read on and let it percolate

I’ve been practicing Dan Wallace’s “revolving door translation” for several months now, though I only do around three verses instead of three chapters. So far I’ve finished 1-3 John, and now I’m tackling 2 Thessalonians. This book is way more difficult in my opinion. I’m starting to see a habit wher...

Re: Why does 2 Thess 1:8 use both an accusative and a dative for the direct object of a participle?

Wow! All of a sudden there is so much material to study. I'll have to slog through these slowly. Thank you very much. I am very honored to be able to interact with experts in Greek. This is a tremendous blessing.
