Writing the Greek Alphabet
The following large font letters show clearly that Greek letters are written with reference
to two lines: the line on which the letters sit and the line indicating the height of
“normal” sized letters. Note the following groups:
1. Normal sized letters are a, e, i, k, n, o, p, s, t, u, and w.
2. The letters that go slightly below the line are g, h, m, r, final v, and q.
3. The letters that go slightly above the upper line include d, j, and l.
4. Letters that go both below and above the lines are b, z, x, f, and y.

“Deliver Us from Evil”
The last petition of the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6:13 says: {ll~ ÓØsai ¨m‚v {pÌ
toØ ponhroØ, “But deliver us from evil/the Evil One.” Is the adjective ponhroØ
neuter or masculine?
The neuter would mean “Rescue us from evil,” i.e., the abstract force of evil.
The masculine would mean “Rescue us from the Evil One,” i.e., a personification of
evil: the devil or Satan.
The debate is ancient. Augustine and most Latin church fathers favored the
neuter; most Greek church fathers (Cyprian, Origen, Chrysostom) construed it as
masculine.
The neuter is supported by many New Testament passages (but see the
masculine in 1 John 2:13; 5:18; Matt 13:19, 38, and perhaps 5:37). The parallel
petition, “Lead us not into temptation,” also seems to favor impersonal evil
(although some have seen this as a reference to the final tribulation or time of
testing, in which the devil leads an assault on the faithful). There are also countless
references in Jewish prayers to evil as an impulse, temptation, or event. An early
Christian writing echoes the last petition of the Lord’s Prayer and treats evil as an
abstraction (Didache 10:5, “Deliver the church from all evil”). Finally, in the New
Testament when the expression “deliver from . . .” is used, the object is almost
always human or an impersonal force. See, e.g., 2 Corinthians 1:10 (“death”),
2 Timothy 3:11 (“persecutions”), 2 Timothy 4:18 (“every evil work”), and 2 Peter
2:9 (“temptation”). Matthew 6:13 is a hard call, but the neuter seems more likely.
Evil in that context could refer either to the final, eschatological tribulation,
without necessarily envisioning a personified evil being, or to the evil that the one
praying might commit.
Sources: See especially Gerhard Kittel, ed., Theological Dictionary of the New Testament (Grand
Rapids: Eerdmans, 1968), Vol. 6, pp. 560-61.

Augments
An augment is a prefix added to an indicative verb of the secondary tenses (imperfect,
aorist, and pluperfect). If the verb begins with a consonant, the augment is normally an
epsilon (›-). If the verb begins with a vowel or diphthong, the augment will usually consist
of the lengthening of that vowel or diphthong. Examples:

Principal Parts
English verbs have three principal parts.
1. Present Active
walk
2. Past Active
walked
3. Past Participle
walked
Regular verbs form the 2nd and 3rd principal part by adding the suffix -ed
to the 1st principal part.
But many English verbs are irregular:
1. Present Active
eat
sing
run
go
2. Past Active
ate
sang
ran
went
3. Past Participle
eaten
sung
run
gone
Greek verbs have six principal parts. The principal parts themselves are
often irregular, but the forms derived from them are usually quite regular.
1. The first principal part is the PRESENT ACTIVE INDICATIVE
lÖw = I loosen, am loosening
2. The second principal part is the FUTURE ACTIVE INDICATIVE
lÖsw = I will loosen

“Flesh and Blood” in the Greek NT
These words occur together seven times in the NT.
Twice the terms are objects of separate verbs. In both cases the order is “flesh”
then “blood.” John 6:54, 56.
Five times they occur in a couplet, separated only by ka¾.
In those five instances, s}rx is first three times (Matt 16:27; 1 Cor 15:50; Gal
1:16); aÆma is first twice (Eph 6:12; Heb 2:14).
Only two times is the expression s}rx ka¿ aÆma the subject of a verb.
Both of these times the verb is singular.
Matt 16:17 with singular verb
1 Cor 15:50 with singular verb

Tense and Time in the Participle
Greek participles are fundamentally nontemporal. This means that a present participle doesn’t necessarily denote action in present time, nor does an aorist participle
necessarily denote action in past time. In practice, however, participles had certain
tendencies. Present participles usually denoted action simultaneous with that of the
main verb, and aorist participles usually denoted action prior to the main verb. But
context, not tense, is ultimately what determines the time of the participle’s action.
(Remember also that adverbial participles can serve a variety of functions, not just
the temporal one.) The following chart shows the tendency for each tense.

Nuances of the Adverbial Participle
Adverbial participles modify verbs. Their chief purpose is not to give information about their subject (the
attributive participle does that), but to describe some circumstance or action related to the action of another
verb (usually the main verb) in the sentence. The precise relationship between the participle and the (main)
verb can only be determined from the context. Some of the possibilities (and words used to translate them)
are the following: temporal (while, when, after), purpose (in order to), conditional (if), causal (because,
since), concessive (though, although), manner (translate with an English participle or some adverbial
expression), instrumental (by), and circumstantial. (Circumstantial participles express action loosely related
to the main verb. To translate a circumstantial participle, either use an English participle or translate as a
finite verb and supply the conjunction “and.”) Translate the following sentences and try to categorize the
function of the participles.

“Hendiadys”
Etymology: From Greek: ¦n di~ duoÀn, hen dia dyoin, “one through two”
Definition: the expression of an idea by two independent words connected
by “and” (as “nice and warm”) instead of the usual combination of a word
and its modifier (as “nicely warm”); the grammatical coordination of two
ideas, one of which is logically dependent on the other.
New Testament Examples
Acts 23:6: “I am on trial concerning hope and the resurrection of the dead”
(= “concerning the hope of the resurrection of the dead”)
Luke 2:47: “they were amazed at his intelligence and his answers”
(= “his intelligent answers”)
Other Examples
“good and mad” (= “very mad”)
“good and ready” (= “quite ready”)
“grace and favor” (= “gracious favor”)
“He came despite the rain and weather” (= “rainy weather”).
“I was moved by her distinction and presence” (= “distinctive presence”).

Numbers in Ancient Greek
(From Herbert W. Smyth, Greek Grammar. Harvard University Press, 1956, pp. 102-6)
In the archaic period Greeks wrote out all ordinal numbers and most
cardinal numbers. The alphabet was used to represent numbers starting in
about the 5th century B.C., and this became the dominant system in the
Hellenistic era. Thus, the first nine letters stood for the numbers 1-9: a = 1, b
= 2, g = 3, etc. For numbers above 9 a quasi-decimal system was used. The
tenth through the eighteenth letters stood for the tens (10, 20, etc.), and the
next nine letters stood for the hundreds (100, 200, etc.). See the full system of
numerical signs and names, both cardinal and ordinal, on the following page.
To do this with a 24 letter alphabet, the Greeks had to use three archaic
letters. The letter digamma (also known as stigma or vau), written F or ½,
stood for the number 6, since its place was sixth in the Phoenician alphabet.
The letter koppa, written », stood for the number 90. The letter sampi,
written Ã, stood for the number 900. To distinguish letters used as numbers
from regular letters, ancient texts used dots or blank spaces before and after
the number. In modern printed texts the numbers 1-999 are indicated by a
raised stroke to the right of the number. The numbers 1000 and higher are
indicated by a subscript stroke to the left of the number.
Numbers might still be written out in full, however, even in the
Hellenistic era. Thus 666 in Rev 13:18 is written out in some manuscripts,
abbreviated in others. In the printed text of the Greek NT (Nestle-Aland 27th
ed., p. 659) the number is written out: œxakËsioi œx©konta ¥x. The textual
apparatus reveals, however, that some manuscripts read the following: qx½Ì.
The meaning is q = 600 + x = 60 + ½ = 6. The raised stroke to the right of the
½ indicates that the letters are to be read as numbers.

Making a Comparison in Greek
1. With the Genitive of Comparison
tÌ mwrÌn toØ jeoØ sofãteron tån {njrãpwn ›st¾n
The foolishness of God is wiser than human beings (1 Cor 1:25).
2. With ± and the Same Case in Both Parts
me¾zwn . . . Ê profhteÖwn ² Ê lalån glãssaiv
The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues (1 Cor
14:5).
Contrary-to-Fact Conditions
In this type of condition an unreal act or circumstance is assumed in the
protasis (“if” clause). The apodosis (“then” clause) expresses what would have
occurred if that action or circumstance had been real.
The “if” clause is introduced with the particle e¼. The “then” clause will
usually have ‡n. Both clauses use past tense indicative verbs. There are two
general types of contrary-to-fact conditions: present and past. The present
type uses the imperfect tense. The past type uses the aorist tense. (Mixed types
do, however, occur.) Examples:
Present Contrary-to-Fact Condition
e¼ μmen ploÖsioi, p}nta t~ bibl¾a ›n tê kËsmæ ˆn §gor}zomen
ka¿ ›d¾domen aÔt~ tê {gaphtê didask}læ ¨mån.
“If we were rich, we would buy all the books in the world and we
would give them to our beloved teacher.”
Past Contrary-to-Fact Condition
e¼ ›pisteÖsate t° {lhje¾ƒ, oÔk ˆn {p©ljete {pÌ t«v ÊdoØ
toØ {gaphtoØ didask}lou ¨mån.
“If you had believed the truth, you would not have departed from
the way of our beloved teacher.”

Questions Expecting a Positive or Negative Answer
Sometimes a question anticipates a “yes” response or a “no” response. English
achieves this by (1) voice intonation and/or (2) appending a short interrogative
clause to a declarative statement. Examples:
“You are going to the party, aren’t you?”
Expected answer = “Yes, I am!”
“You aren’t going dressed like that, are you?”
Expected answer = “No, I am not!”
Greek does the same thing by adding a negative particle to the question.
Questions expecting a positive answer have oÔ (or oÔk, oÔq, oÔq¾). Questions
expecting a negative answer have m©. Examples:
oÔk eÂpete tªn {l©jeian taÀv ›xous¾aiv;
“You did tell the authorities the truth, didn’t you?”
Expected answer = “Yes, we did!”
mª £labon o½ ‰gioi {delfo¿ t~ Õp}rqonta toØ ½erŸwv;
“The holy brothers did not take the belongings of the priest, did they?”
Expected answer = “No, they did not!”
(Memory Device: m© expects “Nay!”)

Eight Forms a Word
(To the tune of “Eight Days a Week”)
by Beatles fan and Greek teacher, James Bury, Harding University, 2002
Nouns and pronouns use them, adjectives do too.
It’s easy to confuse them; the article’s a clue.
Help me, learn them. Help me, learn them.
Can’t ignore the endings,
Eight forms a word.
Number tells how many, case tells what they do.
Endings, there are plenty, don't just learn a few!
-h,
-hv,
-¬,
-hn,
-ai,
-wn,
-aiv,
-av
That’s the first declension,
Eight forms a word.
Eight forms a word, I’ll learn them!
Eight forms a word, they give the number and the case!
“We” and “I” are subjects, so are “he” and “she.”
“Us” and “me” are objects, case provides the key.
-ov,
-ou,
-æ,
-on,
-oi,
-wn,
-oiv,
-ouv
That’s the next declension,
Eight forms a word.
Eight forms a word, I’ll learn them!
Eight forms a word, they give the number and the case!
One more thing to mention, we’re not really done.
There’s a third declension and vocative to come!
Help me, learn them. Help me, learn them.
Can’t ignore the endings,
Eight forms a word.
Eight forms a word.
Eight forms a word.

“Greek Verb Paradigm”
(Words by N. Clayton Croy. Tune = “Gangsta’s Paradise” by Coolio)
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of Greek,
I take a look at my life and see it’s rather bleak.
’Cause I’ve been learnin’ and crammin’ so long;
So when I do my parsin’ I won’t do it wrong.
The Greek verb system, it’s got so many forms.
They’re buzzing in my brain, like bees in swarms.
But I’ve been studyin’ every day and every night.
I gotta get the endings down and get them down right.
My social life is sufferin’, as any fool can see.
My nose is in a book. It’s just reality.
I gotta pass the midterm, and there ain’t no other way
Than studyin’ from the break of dawn until the end of day.
I’ve been spending all my time
Trying to learn the Greek verb paradigm. (Repeat 4×)
My homies come around saying, “Hey, where you been?”
“We come by your place, but you’re never in.”
I have to say to them, “I been in my study carrel.”
“If I don’t learn this paradigm, my life’s in peril.”
So late in the evening, I’m in the library
Beneath a pile of books under which I’ve been buried.
My friendships are dying. Don’t have no time to play.
I spend every waking moment with the Koine.
The way things are goin’ my life is ill-starred.
My best companions are my vocab cards.
But I got one friend with whom I can tarry.
The Greek tutor and I, we’re gonna marry.
Tell me why of late — is it my fate
To do nothing more — than conjugate?
I’ve been spending all my time
Trying to learn the Greek verb paradigm. (Repeat 4×)
© 2007 N. Clayton Croy. All Rights Reserved.
Present and the aorist, perfect and the future.
My brain’s gonna bust. I’m gonna need a suture.
Four different moods and six different tenses.
I study so hard I’m takin’ leave of my senses!
Active, middle, passive; singular and plural —
It all spins around in a great big swirl.
I gotta learn Greek to understand the Bible;
But if I don’t succeed, a breakdown is liable.
I’ve been spending all my time
Trying to learn the Greek verb paradigm. (Repeat 4×)
Tell me why of late — is it my fate
To do nothing more — than conjugate? (Repeat 2×)

“So Much More than Time”
(Words: N. Clayton Croy. Tune: “For the Longest Time” by Billy Joel)
Oh, oh, oh, oh . . . much more than . . .
So much more than time. (2×)
1. Once we thought that tense meant only time.
Now we wonder, “How were we so blind?”
Now it’s our passion
To denote the kind of action,
For tense in Greek means so much more than time.
2. If in past time action was prolonged,
the imperfect never will go wrong.
To stress duration,
It’s the tense of elongation,
For tense in Greek means so much more than time.
Oh, oh, oh, oh . . . much more than . . .
So much more than time. (2×)
3. If in past time you just want to state
Simple action, whether short or great.
The aorist tense then
Is the one you ought to throw in,
For tense in Greek means so much more than time.
German scholars use a special word.
It may strike you as strange.
It’s one you’ve never heard.
They call aspect “Aktionsart.”
You may think it sounds smart,
But it’s more than we need know.
© 2007 N. Clayton Croy. All Rights Reserved.
4. Perfect action was done in the past.
Its result into the present lasts.
Though it’s completed,
Its result is not depleted,
For tense in Greek means so much more than time.
English tenses have to do with time.
For kind of action though,
They aren’t worth a dime.
We must use a paraphrase to say
The sense of the Koine,
And that’s not quite the same thing.
5. Verbal tenses are such fun in Greek,
when you know just how you ought to speak.
Now it’s in fashion
To denote the kind of action,
For tense in Greek means so much more than time.
Oh, oh, oh, oh . . . much more than . . .
So much more than time . . . (fade)

“Moveable Nu”
(Words: N. Clayton Croy. Tune: “Runaround Sue” by Dion and the Belmonts, 1961)
Here’s my story. It’s sad but true.
It’s about a language that I once knew.
I learned the endings and had them down.
Then they changed them all around.
(Heh, heh, homba hehda hehda, heh, heh) (2×)
I studied hard from the very start.
A thousand cards and a great big chart.
The only thing that I failed to do . . . was
Be aware of the moveable nu.
I thought the endings would never change.
But suddenly they started looking strange.
So if you don’t want to parse like I do,
Be aware of the moveable nu.
(Heh, heh, homba hehda hehda, heh, heh)
First person verbs, it’s true.
They never seem to take the nu.
Second person verbs are fine.
But watch out . . . for the third person kind.
That’s where you’re gonna have a problem, friend.
Trying to figure out how the verb should end.
The dative plural is a problem too. So . . .
Be aware of the moveable nu.
(Heh, heh, homba hehda hehda, heh, heh)
© 2007 N. Clayton Croy. All Rights Reserved.
The Greeks couldn’t seem to weather
Two vowels buttin’ up together.
Hiatus made them discontent.
And so they . . . add a consonant.
I tried to learn the endings and to learn them well,
But 50 different forms are puttin’ me through hell.
But I’ve learned this so I say to you . . .
Be aware of the moveable nu.

“Participleville”
(Words: N. Clayton Croy. Tune: “Margaritaville” by Jimmy Buffett)
Learning the Koine,
Practicing each day,
All of those endings are startin’ to blur.
The teacher is ramblin’; my memory’s scramblin’.
A noun or verb?
Well, I can’t say for sure.
Wasted away again in Participleville.
Searching for my — full color verb charts.
Some people claim that there’s a teacher to blame,
But I know, it’s those principal parts.
Don’t know the verb stem,
Memory’s too dim,
Can’t read a thing but that little word “kai.”
Now with participles, my headaches have tripled.
Just pass me some aspirin;
Don’t even ask why.
Wasted away again in Participleville.
Searching for my — full color verb charts.
Some people claim that there’s a teacher to blame,
But I know, it’s those principal parts.
(Musical interlude)
The teacher is calling
And now I am stalling

I parsed it as aorist. I sure was embarrassed.

“Talkin’ t¾v and t¾”
(Words: Susan R. Garrett; used by permission. Tune: “Nine to Five,” by Dolly Parton;
note: This version fits Dolly Parton’s recording of the song. In recordings by other artists,
number and placement of choruses may vary.)
Stanza 1
I tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen,
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And crack my text, wishin’ I had a life.
I flip through the pages and the blood starts pumpin’,
I know that the seminary halls are a jumpin’
With folks like me, trying to ask, “who,” “what,” or “why?”
Chorus
Talkin’ t¾v and t¾, they often show interrogation,
Talkin’ tiv and ti, also indefinite notation.
Well, the accent’s key—the accent hints that it’s a question,
Just two sets of endings—it follows third declension!
“Who,” “what,” “why”—tiv/ti can show interrogation!
Or “a certain guy”—also indefinite notation!
When the accent’s nigh, then it is probably a question;
Just two sets of endings—it follows third declension!
Stanza 2
t¾v did}skei; means “who is teaching?”
t¾na zhteÀte; means “whom are you seeking?”
For questions the accent’s front and never grave.
But ‡njrwpËv tiv means “a certain someone,”
“eßrËn ti Üdwr” means “they found some water.”
When it’s indefinite, well the accent’s last or gone!

Hans and Franz Skit
Hans: You do not need to adjust your glasses. You are seeing us in actual size. This incredible
muscular development comes from years of rigorous exegetical exercises.
Franz: That is true, little brother. But not everyone is committed to a strict regimen of
exegetical workouts. So we have come here to correct that deficiency.
Hans: Ja, that is right . . . because . . . I am Hans.
Franz: And I am Franz.
In Unison: And we are here to pump (clap) you up . . . exegetically!
Hans: Franz, it is hard to believe, but there are still some students who are not doing original
language exegesis! All they can do is read their sissy boy English translations and flabby
devotional commentaries and then they think that they understand the Bible.
Franz: Ja, and who do they think they are kidding? Their interpretation lacks proper tone
and fitness. Their exegesis is underdeveloped. And their theology has no curvature. They
are doing girlie-man exegesis.
Hans: That is right, big brother. If you asked them to clarify the nuances of the Greek verb
tenses or to explain the significance of a textual variant, they would look at you like you were
from another planet or something!
Franz: Ja, they don’t know a lexicon from a hexagon. They think that “Bauer” refers to
someone who flexes from the waist (make bowing motion).
Hans: Well, if they want to see some flexing motion, let them see this! (Hans and Franz flex.)
Franz: Ja, and these same students think that “Danker” refers to something that is “colder
and damper” than something else.
Hans: Right you are, big brother. These flabby exegetes think that they can provide people
with spiritual nourishment by recycling wimpy interpretations taken off the Internet! Well,

listen up, students! Hear me now and believe me later . . . you need to add some serious
pumpitude to your Bible study!
Franz: That is right, Hans, they need an exegetical method with the kind of rigor and
discipline that we practice every day!
Hans: Precisely! Instead of their sissy boy sermonizing, they should strive for the strength and
firmness of the Hans and Franz method.
Franz: You know, Hans, some people think that the exegetical method that we teach is too
rigid, that it needs to be more flexible!
Hans: Ja, but the claim that we don’t know about flexibility is absurd. Right, Franz? If they
want to see some flexibility, let them take a look at this! (Hans and Franz flex.)
Franz: Hans, perhaps you could share with the people here today one of your favorite
exegetical workouts.
Hans: That is a good idea, big brother. One of my favorite workouts is to take all ten volumes
of Kittel’s Theological Dictionary of the New Testament and strap them together with duct
tape. Then I bench press them 50 times every night before going to bed.
Franz: That is a great tip, Hans.
Hans: Ja, but don’t try to do that with the CD-ROM version of Kittel. You do not get the
same effect! How about you, Franz? What secret tip can you share with us for maintaining
the serious pumpitude that you have?
Franz: Well, before I do any heavy exegetical lifting, I always get properly oiled down. It
improves muscle tone, prevents injury, and makes it easier to slip in and out of the study
carrel.
Hans: A wonderful tip for the students, Franz!
Franz: Ja, the oil also makes my chest hair shiny! And my fans like that! By the way,
Hans, I have been meaning to talk to you about your hair. You may want to start using

Head & Shoulders again. I think your dandruff problem is coming back. I can see a few
flecks on your shoulders.
Hans: Thanks for the tip, Franz, but if the folks here really want to see some shoulder flex,
they should see this! (Hans and Franz flex.) Well, that is all for today! Remember, I am Hans!
Franz: And I am Franz.
In Unison: And we are here to pump (clap) you up . . . exegetically!
