The New Koine Greek Textbook: Greek Concordance and Greek Dictionary Coded To The Strong’s Numbering System For The New Testament in the Original Greek Byzantine Textform 2005 (Volume II & III)

This is the 2021 update. Features * The Lexicon is a complete replacement for the Strong’s Greek Dictionary updated from 5,523 entries to 5,773 including words that James Strong left out from the most common Textus Receptus compilations, Greek minority and majority texts, etc. * Expanded and updated Etymology sections. * Betacode and Pronunciations are added next to the Greek word. * This lexicon was updated in conjunction with the Modern Literal Version New Testament and aims to show what is the best English word from a choice of over 550,000 English words (dictionary.com) to render uniformly the meanings of the 5,401 Greek words of the N.T. This was created by the people who have actually worked on a published Bible translation. It even includes the verb tense variations used in the Modern Literal Version. * The main Greek Concordance entries are from the Byzantine Textform 2018 (the Majority Text) and supplement in ‘Other Texts’ for other listings from common Textus Receptus compilations, Greek minority and majority texts. * This Lexicon and Concordance together gives people the ability to do the ultimate word studies from a Greek standpoint. * This Lexicon can be used with any New Testament version of the Bible. The Historical Problem James Strong had a great idea when he assigned numbers to Greek words, and to create a Greek dictionary based off of the Textus Receptus for use with the KJV. After his death not much was done to update his original work for years. Those who claim to have done so in the 20th century, truly did very little. James Strong concentrated more on the etymology of the word and not how it was used in the N.T. or in normal 1st century Greek speech. Lexicons, prior to the late 1800’s, looked at how the Greek words were used over the expanse of the Greek language from Classical to older Modern Greek and listed those definitions. The Koine Greek Language was not discovered until after James Strong’s death and was not adopted by most lexicons before that date! Thayer’s (published after Strong’s) mentions Classic but mainly covers Septuagint (LXX) to the Koine period and used the Westcott & Hort text entries primarily. Bauer’s lexicon definitions are from how early Christians writers wrote the language. It concentrated on the Nestle Aland texts. Most Christians just will not know which definition(s) are only for the New Testament. Too often ‘commentaries’ and ‘biases’ are found in other lexicons. It is little wonder that Greek students are confused and the accuracy of most Bible translations has suffered. Solution The Modern Literal Version N.T. and all the reference books created with it/for it are intended to overcome these historic obstacles and can be a valuable reference for both people who know very little Greek and advanced researchers alike. We hope this series will give all Christians a more accurate understanding of what Jesus and His inspired writers actually said; thus, it will allow for better studies of the original Greek, and contribute to more accurate English or Greek word and topical Bible studies.
