English greek interlinear bible esv
So if you want to make a good start on learning Greek, or if you want a quick reference to go to, this is a great tool Providing you see it for what it is. Christians have always been wide open and level headed about where are texts of the Bible comes from and this work reflects that tradition of openness and a willingness for everyone who wants to know about the Bible study for themselves and make up their own mind on. The NWT clearly has been translated with words added to the English to change the meanings of the Greek to support their own doctrines, and then King James Only Folk hold to their traditions and use the KJV even to excuse their sometimes Vile and unChristian behaviour in insulting those who disagree with them, Attitudes and traditions that would certainly not have been held by The KJV Translators themselves. These perspectives held by groups like The Jehovah's Witnesses whose own New World Translation and those who hold to a far-right King James Only perspective have a bias and vested interest in keeping their members in line and thus such study and this book would encourage is frowned upon and the supposed dangers are not real or based in reality. One thing I will say is that in the introductions there is a mention of the dangers often cited by people of certain theological perspectives against examining the original Greek texts and modern English. And for me the support in pronouncing the Greek is an extra level of fun. In addition you have the Strong's reference number so if you think another word reflects the meaning of the Greek better then that is not hidden from you.īut like I said this is not to replace deeper study into Greek and textual criticism of the New Testament. So providing you like the ESV translation of course, you can get used to the text layout and read along comfortably, dropping down the lines for the information you might like to research or follow up on. then finally the Strong's concerdance reference number where can reference the definition of the word. Under this English pronounciation then is the Parsing codes that give give a reader a chance to know how the word is to be used within sentence construction etc. I see his point but as I don't speak Greek and still learning the alphabet, it atleast gives me the opportunity to get a gist on how the word should sound in Greek.

What we have in this publication is the popular ESV text as the only English translation with the Greek words underneath so that you can see which readings where chosen for the ESV.Ī previous reviewer was unsure if an attemp to give the Greek an English pronounciation was a good thing. This can be confusing as explanations don't tend to be in Interlinears and that is not what they are for anyway! However if the Greek is a critical reading like the Nestle Åland 27th edition and the English version is based on the Westcott & Hort or the Textus Receptus, like the KJV, readings may be different and The KJV has a lot of extra words and verses than modern text.

Traditional interlinear Bibles as previous stated in other reviews have the Greek text with a literal English underneath them and a popular Bible translation e.g. But as an introduction is is very helpful. First let me say this book will not in any way replace getting some good study materials or going to college to learn Koine Greek.
