Description of Table Headings:

 

Greek Word

This is the Greek word as it appears in the Greek alphabet. To view the Greek alphabet, you will need to install a Greek font on your computer. See our Greek font section for further information.

 

Transliterated

This column lists the Greek word as it is usually listed using characters from the English alphabet. Although the transliterated spelling is useful for introductions to Greek, it is Strongly advised that you learn the actual Greek spellings. Almost all advanced tools, such as concordances, lexicons, and Grammar studies assume a knowledge of the Greek spellings. For example, the word agape in transliterated English is actually based on the following Greek word using the Greek alphabet:


 

Strong's Number

Each Greek word is listed with its corresponding Strong's number. Since most online tools, like Crosswalk and the Blue Letter Bible, use Strong's numbers, this will help you find further information about the word. Some people prefer to use G/K numbers (Goodrick/Kohlenberger) instead of Strong's numbers, which correspond to the updated manuscripts now in use (the manuscripts used to generate the NIV, NASB, and other new translations). The G/K numbers are used in "The Greek English Concordance to the New Testament : With the New International Version" (see our book section). A conversion between G/K numbers and Strong's numbers is found in Mounce's book "The Analytical Lexicon to the Greek New Testament". We will occasionally list the G/K number in parenthesis.

Note: Occasionally, a single G/K number corresponds to several Strong's numbers. There are also single Strong's numbers that correspond to several G/K numbers. For the case of a single G/K number with several Strong's numbers, we will list the Greek word corresponding to the single G/K number as the "lexical form". All lexical forms are listed in yellow. Following the lexical listing, we will list the other Strong's variants after the single G/K word.

 

Crosswalk Link

www.Crosswalk.com has a large number of tools on the net for studying God's Word. The tools on the Crosswalk site will be used frequently. The Crosswalk site is also the source of our Interlinear Verse of the Day, and contains the Greek fonts you will need to view the Greek characters. The main Crosswalk site can be reached via the link below:

Blue Bible Link

The Blue Letter Bible also has a large number of tools on the net for studying God's Word. The Blue Letter Bible is located at www.Blueletterbible.org. The tools at the Blueletterbible site will be used frequently. The main Blueletterbible site can be reached via the link below:

www.Blueletterbible.org

 

Word Count

This is the number of times (in all its tenses, cases, etc.) the word is used in the New Testament. The word count comes from the Crosswalk and Blueletterbible websites. The word count listed in parenthesis comes from Warren Trenchard's book, "Complete Vocabulary Guide to the Greek New Testament". There are 138,162 words in the Greek New Testament (varies a bit, depending on manuscript). If you add all of the word counts for the words listed in the table, and divide by the total number of words, you can get an estimate of the percentage of the New Testament that you can read - a good way to track your progress! The numbers differ, since they use different Greek manuscripts (Trenchard uses the latest corrected UBS 3 version).

 

Definition (Brief)

A brief definition of the word is given in this column. This information is retrieved from the Definition(s) section of the Blueletterbible or Crosswalk lexicons. The definition is not meant to be exhaustive. For in-depth study, I recommend that you consult the online lexicons, or one of the more detailed lexicons available in book form. If you find a more detailed online lexicon in the public domain, I would love to hear about it! The definitions used by Blueletterbible and Crosswalk are based on Thayer's Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament, by Joseph H. Thayer. The "corrected edition" of Thayer's was published in 1889, and is in the public domain.
