Preface
Learning a Greek vocabulary large enough for rapid reading of the New
Testament is a daunting task. While a good knowledge of Greek grammar can
be gained in a year of study, New Testament vocabulary typically demands
much longer attention. This book seeks to aid in this task by enabling the
student to build a vocabulary of New Testament Greek by using the principles
of word formation and by drawing on the cognate relationships of most
New Testament Greek words.
For more than two generations the best tool for learning the Greek
vocabulary of the New Testament has been Bruce M. Metzger’s Lexical
Aids for Students of New Testament Greek.1 This helpful book has been the
standard in its field, and rightly so. Still, Lexical Aids has shortcomings. Using
its lists of 1067 words organized by frequency in the New Testament, the
student sees no cognate relationships between words; most memorization
is rote.2 Metzger does also list 690 words, many in addition to those in the
frequency lists, by cognate. But because this cognate list does not include even
half the words that are in the frequency list, it is unsuitable for comprehensive
vocabulary learning. Moreover, my practice and that of other teachers using
Lexical Aids has been to assign the frequency lists with some thoroughness,
but the cognate list only occasionally. Hence the need for one format
combining frequency and cognate, a format that can enable the student to
memorize Greek vocabulary as easily as possible and in a pedagogically
sound manner.
Building Your New Testament Greek Vocabulary is organized as follows:
Part One is a guide to using this book and is directed especially to the student.
Part Two is an outline of the basic principles of word building. It should
be studied with some care before the student proceeds to the cognate lists
in Part Three, as a knowledge of the rudiments of word building will make
memorizing vocabulary easier and more effective.

Computer software programs for learning biblical Greek vocabulary are also
based on frequency.
ix
Each word that appears five or more times in the New Testament appears
once in Part Three or Part Four, in Part Three if it has any cognate(s) that
also appear five or more times in the New Testament, in Part Four if it does
not. The words in Part Three are arranged by cognate families in six sections
according to the frequency of the most recurrent word in each family. Each
word is given a basic English definition based on New Testament usage, and
its frequency in the New Testament is listed. Occasionally a well-known
English derivative is given to aid in memorization.3 The lists in Part Four
of those Greek words appearing five or more times in the New Testament
without common cognates are also divided into six frequency groups. As in
Part Three, basic English definitions and occasional English derivatives are
given, and the frequency of each word is listed.
The two sections listing words occurring five to nine times (III.G. and
IV.G.) can be left aside by those who want to omit learning words of such
low frequency that do not have more common cognates. Also, the frequency
of each word in the cognate lists (Part Three) is noted, so that the teacher can
assign for study any given frequency of Greek words.
The student should alternate between the corresponding sections of Parts
Three and Four until both parts have been completed. As an aid to learning,
each frequency section is divided into groups of about 20 to 30 words, which
seems to be a good number to learn at one sitting.
Part Five gives helps for verb analysis, including lists of the principal
parts of the different types of verb. Part Six lists prepositions, both proper
and improper. Part Seven lists conjunctions and adverbs, and Part Eight lists
number-words. All of these words appear in Parts Three and Four, but they are
presented together again for the benefit of the student.
I have drawn the definitions in Parts Three and Four from the third edition
of A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian
Literature (hereafter BDAG), using the succinct (not the expanded) definitions
and keeping closely to the New Testament usage.4 For counting frequency
3
Metzger also includes a good number of English derivatives in his lists. However,
many of these words are unfamiliar to most students, even though they are words
that students of Bible and theology should learn (e.g., “hamartiology,” “macarism,”
“thaumaturge”). This use of unfamiliar words violates the pedagogical principle that the
unfamiliar (here Greek words) should be learned via the familiar (their English derivatives).
I have endeavored to restrict the derivatives to more familiar words.

Preface
I have used the Concordance to the Novum Testamentum Graece.5 This

concordance is based on the twenty-sixth edition of the Nestle-Aland Novum
Testamentum Graece,6 the text (but not the textual apparatus) of which is
identical to that of the third edition of the United Bible Societies’ Greek
New Testament.7 In determining cognate relationships, I have used as final
authorities E. Boisacq’s Dictionnaire étymologique de la langue grecque8 and
H. Frisk’s Griechisches etymologisches Wörterbuch.9
I should like to thank here those who helped this project along in various
ways. Professor George Landes of Union Theological Seminary (New York)
encouraged and advised me as I began this book; it is patterned somewhat
upon his Student’s Vocabulary of Biblical Hebrew Listed according to
Frequency and Cognate.10 My secretary at Lycoming College, Sheran Swank,
did a most skillful job of putting the challenging manuscript of the first
edition on disk. My student assistant, Jeremy Owens, compiled the original
index and read the proofs.
Several people wrote me to offer suggestions for improvement, many of
which were incorporated in the second edition. I extend my appreciation
to Eugene Boring of Texas Christian University, Francis Gignac of the
Catholic University of America, and Richard Carlson of Lutheran Theological
Seminary, Gettysburg, for their particularly extensive, careful comments.
My thanks also are extended to Professor Beverly Gaventa of Princeton
Theological Seminary, editor of the SBL’s Resources for Biblical Studies
series, for accepting this book for Scholars Press publication. Her peer-review
committee made several helpful suggestions for the second edition. My
student assistant, Daven Oskvig, helped to compile the new material in the
second edition. For the third edition, Bill Pinches, a doctoral candidate in
New Testament at Princeton Theological Seminary, made many corrections
and additions to the word lists in Parts Three and Four, and also contributed

the list in Part Five. I owe him a special expression of gratitude for his
kind, careful work. I also thank Rachel Brownson for reading the proofs
of the third edition, and Western Theological Seminary for providing the
funds for proofreading. While all these have made this a better book, I
alone am responsible for its errors. I would be grateful if those who use
this book would continue to be so kind as to share their suggestions for
improvement with me.
This edition features, in addition to the correction of miscellaneous
mistakes, the following main additions:
• A new section listing proper nouns, adjectives and adverbs that occur
five or more times;
• A new section, “Helps for Translating aÈtÒw and Similar Words”;
• All definitions have been compared to the new edition of the Greek-
English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature,
and revised where necessary.
My special thanks go, as always, to my wife, Mary, and our sons,
Richard and Nicholas, for their constant love and encouragement that make
scholarship a happier task.
The quotation in the dedication is excerpted from Sirach 7:27-28: “With
all your heart honor your father and mother; what can you give back to them
that equals what they have given to you?”

Part One
Guide to Using This Book
In a year’s course of studying Greek grammar, students learn at most
several hundred Greek words, usually as a part of each lesson in their
textbook. But when they come to read the New Testament they find that
this vocabulary is woefully inadequate for reading it with any speed or
confidence. Often they spend more time looking up unknown words in the
lexicon than directly reading the text itself, and they soon get discouraged.
At this point in studying Greek, several hundred other words should be
learned, and the more the better.
Building Your New Testament Greek Vocabulary is designed to help the
student of New Testament Greek cross that gap by learning all the words that
occur five or more times in the New Testament. Such a vocabulary of New
Testament Greek is sufficient for rapid, confident reading of the text. Part One
is directed especially to the student as a brief guide to using this book to the
fullest advantage in building a large vocabulary of Greek.
This book combines the frequency method of listing vocabulary (based on
the number of times a word occurs in the New Testament) with the cognate
method (based on word families). Cognates are understood here to be words
that are related to each other by their possession of a common element, usually
called a stem or root, and that are therefore related in meaning as well. Words
that are cognate make up a word family. To take an example from English,
the words “believe,” “belief,” “unbelief,” “believable,” “believer,” etc., are
all obviously cognates. They share the root “believ-,” and make up a family
of words. Words in any language do not grow willy-nilly; they are formed
in certain regular patterns, and to know the patterns employed in Greek
word building is greatly to simplify the tedious process of memorizing
New Testament vocabulary. Therefore, the student should carefully study
Part Two, “Basic Principles of Greek Word Building,” before proceeding
to the word lists.
Each cognate group is organized as follows: Each entry in the group has
a Greek word, its English definition, an English derivative where helpful,
1
and a frequency number. The English definition is very basic, and is not at
all intended to be comprehensive; for full definitions and nuance, a lexicon
should be consulted. Where an English derivative is given, it can be used as
an aid to memorizing the particular Greek word from which it comes, but can
also sometimes be used to remember other words in the cognate group as well.
Finally, the frequency number can be noted but need not be remembered.
Each cognate group begins with the most frequent word, which is in bold
type. The group generally proceeds from there in alphabetical order, but not in
a strictly uniform way, because very similar words are kept together for ease
in memorization regardless of their alphabetical order.
The frequency lists in Part Four have the same basic entries as the
frequency and cognate lists in Part Three: the Greek word, its definition, a
derivative where helpful, and the frequency number. The Greek words in
this part are not necessarily without any cognates in the New Testament, but
those cognates that occur do so less than five times. The frequency lists in
Part Four are organized according to the same rates of frequency as the lists
in Part Three, and the student should alternate between the corresponding
sections of Parts Three and Four.
The New Testament contains 1738 words that occur five or more times, all
of which are listed here. (This does not include nouns that are always proper.)
Of these 1738 words, about 78% can be placed with cognates also occurring
five or more times. If the student omits parts III.G. and IV.G., which list most
of the words occurring 5–9 times (those that have not been grouped with more
frequent cognates), the percentage of words remaining listed with cognates
rises to 87%. That the great majority of New Testament Greek vocabulary can
thus be listed and learned together with cognates more than compensates for
the disadvantage of having to consult two sets of lists.
Although each student must find a system for learning vocabulary that
works well for her or him, these suggestions may be helpful:
(1) Begin by studying the words in this book as they are listed in their
word families. Note their relationships to each other as far as these are
evident. Take care to distinguish very similar words, which you will see
in the cognate lists. Use the margins of the pages to make notes about
the words studied.
(2) When learning Greek words, repeat the word aloud several times.
Pronouncing and hearing the words will help in memorizing them. Take care
2
Guide to Using This Book
to accent the right syllable, and when repeating words keep the accent on this
syllable. Not doing so complicates the task.
(3) In addition to saying the words aloud, write them out several times.
Write and pronounce them together. The more ways that words are impressed
on the memory, the more complete memorization will be.
(4) Note the English derivatives when they are given. The meaning of the
English word will be suggestive of the meaning of the Greek word. Learn the
Greek word by way of the actual English derivative before resorting to other,
nonsensical associations with English words.
(5) Some students find flash cards helpful. While commercially printed
cards are available, it is best to write out one’s own. Keep them in cognate
groups, especially at first. Then they can be rearranged as one goes along so
that more attention is devoted to new and difficult words.
(6) Words that stubbornly resist memorization—which happens to almost
every student, and for no easily discernible reason—can often be learned
by memorizing a short, familiar phrase from the Greek New Testament in
which these words occur.
(7) Using one’s actual knowledge of Greek words and the principles of
word formation, the student can often make an intelligent preliminary guess
about the meaning of unfamiliar words, especially the words of very low
frequency not presented in this book. Such guesses should, of course, be
soon checked against the lexicon.
(8) Constant review is essential to work Greek vocabulary from short-term
memory into long-term memory.

Part Two
Basic Principles of Greek Word Building
The Greek language builds words in rather regular patterns. To know these
patterns is to lighten greatly the chore of memorizing vocabulary, especially
when memorizing cognate words. We will consider here only the most basic
principles of word formation necessary for learning vocabulary. Those who
desire more detail should consult a standard Greek grammar.1 The two most
frequent methods of building words are derivation and composition.
Word Building by Derivation

In derivation suffixes are added to a word stem to form different cognate
words. For example, to the stem basil-, which carries the notion of “rule,
kingship,” is added the nominal suffix -euw to make basileÊw, “king”; the
verbal suffix -euv to make basileÊv, “I rule, am king”; and the adjectival
suffix -ikow to make basilikÒw, “royal.” In the course of this adding of
suffixes the final part of the stem often undergoes various changes. The
rules that govern these changes will not be discussed here, because students
who have had some Greek grammar are already familiar with many of these
changes as they appear in other contexts, and at any rate the stem is almost
always recognizable.
The charts that follow give the typical significance of the most important
suffixes used in building the vocabulary of the Greek New Testament. Some
uses of suffixes will vary from this typical significance, but most adhere to
it. The left-hand column lists the suffixes; suffixes for adjectives are in the

For example, H. W. Smyth, Greek Grammar (revised edition; Cambridge, MA:
Harvard University Press, 1956) 225–54; or F. Blass and A. Debrunner, A Greek Grammar
of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature, ed. R. W. Funk (Chicago:
University of Chicago Press, 1961) 58–68. It is interesting to note that Blass-Debrunner-
Funk’s Greek Grammar can give a full discussion of word formation without any discussion
of roots. The best treatment, and the one relied on here, is by J. H. Moulton and W. F.
Howard, A Grammar of New Testament Greek, vol. 2, Accidence and Word Formation
(Edinburgh: Clark, 1928) 267–410.

nominative case and the masculine gender only, for reasons of space. The
middle column gives the typical significance of each suffix. The right-hand
column gives well-known words from the New Testament as examples of how
particular suffixes join stems to build cognate words.2
A. Nominal Suffixes
Suffix Typical Significance Example from the New Testament
-ow person, thing yeÒw god, God
-thw person, agent kritÆw judge (cf. kr¤nv, I judge)
-thr svtÆr savior (cf. s–zv, I save)
-euw basileÊw king (cf. basileÊv, I am
king)
-tiw activity p¤stiw faith (cf. pisteÊv, I believe)
-siw kr¤siw judging (cf. kr¤nv)
-ia ofikonom¤a management, task (cf.
ofikonom°v, I manage)
-ma result of an activity grãmma letter (cf. grãfv, I write)
-ia abstraction, quality svthr¤a salvation (cf. s–zv)
-sia §kklhs¤a church (cf. §kkal°v, I call
out)
-sunh dikaiosÊnh righteousness (cf.
dikaiÒv, I justify)
-eia basile¤a kingdom, rule (cf.
basileÊv)
2
Although we speak of “building” words from the “stem,” note that these stems
(which some grammarians call “roots”) probably never had any existence apart from the
words in their families. Stems or roots are abstractions from existing words, made for
linguistic purposes. What T. O. Lambdin says about Hebrew roots is applicable to the Greek
language: “The root is a grammatical abstraction from [cognate] words and not vice-versa;
that is, because a root has no existence apart from its incorporation into words, it leads to
a misunderstanding of the nature of language to say that words are derived from the root”
(Introduction to Biblical Hebrew [New York: Scribners, 1971] 18). If this is recognized,
the notion of stems/roots can be used as a valid grammatical construct in studying word
formation and learning the vocabulary of the Greek New Testament.

Word Building by Composition

A compound word is formed by the joining of two or more words. English
does not form compounds as readily as did Hellenistic Greek, in which word
formation through composition was very common.
The great majority of compound words in the New Testament are
compound verbs. Compound verbs have a preposition as their first member
and a verb as the second member. The precise nuance that the preposition adds
to the verb varies, because the meaning of the preposition is often modified
by the verb it joins. In addition to a local force (showing direction), several
prepositions also sometimes strengthen or perfect the force of verbs with
which they are compounded. English has a few examples of this: “eat” is
strengthened in “eat up,” “swallow” in “swallow down,” etc. The student
should be aware, though, that by Hellenistic times some of these perfectives
had lost the force they originally may have had. Failure to recognize this
when it occurs leads to “overtranslating” the verb. For example, one of the
meanings of fil°v is “I kiss,” but the compound verb katafil°v does not
signify an especially intense kiss. Here (as always) usage is determinative,
for which a good lexicon should be consulted. The prepositions most often
used as perfectives are: sun-, kata-, éna-, épo-, and §k-. They are translated
in the chart below with “thoroughly” and have their own example on a
separate line.
7
A. Compound Verbs with Prepositional Prefixes

Prefix Typical Significance Example(s) from the New Testament
éna- (én-) up, again; énaba¤nv I go up, embark
thoroughly énazht°v I search after
énti- (ént-, against, instead of éntil°gv I object to, oppose
ény-)
épo- (ép-, away from; épost°llv I send away
éf-) thoroughly épÒllumi I destroy
dia- (di-) through, between di°rxomai I go through
efiw- into, in efisãgv I lead into
§k- (§j-) out of, from; §j°rxomai I go out
thoroughly §kzht°v I search out
§n- (§g-, §m-) in, into ¶neimi I am in, am inside
§pi- (§p-, §f-) on, upon §pikal°v I call upon
kata- (kat-, down, against; kataba¤nv I go down, disembark
kay-) thoroughly katesy¤v I eat up, devour
meta- (met-, with, after metano°v I repent (implies change)
mey-)
para- (par-) beside, near pãreimi I am near
peri- round, about perit°mnv I circumcise (literally
“cut around”)
pro- before (of time pro°rxomai I go before
or place)
pros- to; nearby prosãgv I bring to; I come near
sun- (sug-, with, together; sunãgv I gather together
sul-, sum-) thoroughly sullambãnv I seize, catch
Íper- over, above Íperorãv I overlook, neglect
Ípo- under Ípotãssv I put under, subject
8
The meaning that prepositional prefixes contribute to verbs can be

illustrated by the many compounds in the New Testament of bãllv, “I
put, place, throw.” épobãllv means “I throw off.” §kbãllv is “I throw
out,” hence “I expel.” §pibãllv means “I lay upon.” katabãllv means “I
throw down,” in the middle voice “I found, lay,” especially used of laying
a foundation. “I put around, clothe” is peribãllv. probãllv is “I put
forward, put out.” The meaning of sumbãllv is not readily apparent; it
is “I converse, consider, meet.” The parts of this compound are hinted at
by BDAG, which suggests that sum + ballv is paralleled by our modern
colloquial expression, “get it all together.” Finally, Íperbãllv is “I go
beyond, surpass, outdo.”
B. Compounds with Adverbial Prefixes

Compound words of all types can be formed by prefixing an adverbial
particle or an independent adverb to a word or stem. The chief adverbial
prefixes used in forming compounds in the New Testament are:
Prefix Typical Significance Example(s) from the New Testament
é- (én-) not, un-, dis- êdikow unjust
(by far épist°v I disbelieve, am unfaithful
the most
common)
eÈ- well, good eÈagg°lion good news, gospel
eÈerget°v I do good
dus- hard, un-, mis- dusent°rion dysentery
C. Compound Nouns and Adjectives

Compound nouns and adjectives are also formed by joining two words,
one of which is usually a noun. As in word building by derivation, changes
often occur in the words joined. In compound nouns and adjectives this
change almost always occurs at or near the point of conjunction. Fortunately
for the student of Greek vocabulary, the two members of the compound are
usually recognizable despite these changes, and we will not look directly at the
separate members here. But for understanding compounds of all sorts, each
9
member of the compound must be understood and taken into account.3

The two members of compound nouns and adjectives can be viewed as
standing in various case relationships with each other. Most obvious is an
accusative case relationship, where one member of the compound receives
the action of the other as its “direct object”:
nomodidãskalow teacher of the law
pantokrãtvr ruler of all, hence “the Almighty”
ofikodespÒthw ruler of a house
érxisunãgvgow ruler of a synagogue
A dative case relationship may also be apparent:
efidvlÒyutow sacrificed to idols
yeod¤daktow taught by God
Many compounds show a nominative case relationship. That is, the members
of the compound stand in a predicate relationship, with the first usually
describing the second:
monogenÆw unique, only, one-of-a-kind
érxiereÊw chief priest, high priest
ceudoprofÆthw false prophet
Conclusion
To sum up this treatment of word building, perhaps it would be helpful to
offer a rather comprehensive example of word building by both derivation and
composition from one root. The root we shall employ is dik, which in its word
family signifies “right, just.” Note how this stem joins the prefixes and suffixes
listed above to form a whole family of words. (Not all word families are as
full and well-formed as this, but this one is highly illustrative of the process.)
Nouns formed by derivation and composition are:
d¤kh punishment, justice
dikastÆw judge
dikaiosÊnh justice, righteousness
dika¤vma righteous deed
3
In the word lists, compound verbs are listed by the second element, the verb. All
other compounds are generally listed by the first element.
10
dika¤vsiw justification, acquittal

édik¤a unrighteousness
éd¤khma sin, crime

Part Six
Helps for Verb Analysis
An important, and probably the most challenging, part of learning the
vocabulary of the Greek New Testament is learning the principal parts of
numerous verbs. The student often learns these one by one in the daily
lessons, but it is good to review them together. This section presents helps
for learning and understanding the structure of verbs. First is a chart on the
principal parts, tense systems, and aspects of the regular verb; second is an
explanation of the elements of verb structure, especially as they are used
in parsing verbs; and third is a list of the principal parts of many important
verbs, arranged by type.
A. Principal Parts, Tense Systems, and Aspects

of the Regular Verb
lÊv 1. PRESENT SYSTEM
a. Present tense (active, middle, passive) All moods
Stem + ending (lu-omen)
Indicative – continuing action in the present time
Other forms – continuing action, time undetermined
b. Imperfect tense (active, middle, passive)
Augment + stem + ending (§-lu-omen)
In the indicative mood only (continued action in past)
lÊsv 2. FUTURE SYSTEM
Future tense (active & mid.) No subjunctive or imperative
Stem + s + ending (lu-s-omen)
Continued action or undefined action in future
¶lusa 3. FIRST AORIST SYSTEM
1st Aorist Tense (active & middle) All moods
(Augment) + stem + s + a-type ending (§-lu-s-amen)
Indicative (with augment) – undefined action in past
Other moods (no augment) – undefined action, time
undetermined
86
l°luka 4. FIRST PERFECT ACTIVE SYSTEM

a. Perfect tense (active only) All moods
Reduplication + stem + k + a-type ending
(le-lu-k-amen)
Indicative – completed action in the present
Other moods – completed action

B. Elements of Verb Structure for Parsing

Students are often called upon to “parse” (analyze grammatically) verbs
of all sorts. Here is an explanation of verb structure necessary for parsing
efficiently; it should be used for consolidation and review.
All verbs have some or all of the following elements:

1. Tense: Present, Imperfect, Future, Aorist, Perfect, Pluperfect, Future
Perfect (rare)
2. Aspect: Continual, Undefined, Perfective
3. Voice: Active, Middle, Passive
4. Mood: Indicative, Subjunctive, Optative, Imperative, Infinitive, Participle
(Some grammarians do not consider the infinitive and participle to be moods,
but we will consider them so here for pedagogical reasons.)
5. Person: First, Second, Third
6. Number: Singular, Plural
All tenses occur in all voices, persons, and numbers, but some of the tenses
occur in only a limited group of moods:
1. Present tense: all moods
2. Imperfect tense: Indicative mood only
3. Future tense: Indicative, Optative, Infinitive, and Participle
4. Aorist tense: all moods
5. Perfect tense: all moods
6. Pluperfect tense: Indicative mood only
7. Future Perfect tense: Indicative, Optative, Infinitive, and Participle
(This tense is seldom used, and then almost always in the passive voice.)
Aspects of verbs are directly related to tense:

1. Continual aspect: Present, Imperfect and Future tenses
2. Undefined aspect: Aorist tense only
3. Perfective aspect: Perfect and Pluperfect tenses
88
In order to parse and translate a verb correctly the student must be able to
give the following information:
For Finite Verbs (i.e., indicative, subjunctive, optative, imperative):
tense, aspect, voice, mood, person and number. Here, for example, is the
parsing of lÊv:
Tense Aspect Voice Mood Person Number
Present Continual Active Indicative First Singular
For Infinitives: tense, aspect, voice and “mood.” Here, for example, is
lÊein:
Tense Aspect Voice “Mood”
Present Continual Active Infinitive
For Participles: tense, aspect, voice, “mood,” gender, number and case.
Here, for example, is lÊvn:
Tense Aspect Voice “Mood” Gender Number Case
Present Continual Active Participle Masculine Singular Nominative
C. Principal Parts of Common Verbs, Arranged by Type

The Greek verb forms its principal parts in rather regular ways. Students
who master these patterns will have come a good distance in learning to
read rapidly, and understand, the New Testament. The following sections
contain all the verbs in the New Testament that occur fifty or more times;
they represent fully all the different types of verbs. Where no form appears,
that principal part does not occur in the New Testament. Hyphenated forms
are found only in compounds.
89
1. Omega-type verbs
Omega-type verbs are by far the most common type. Below are listed both active and middle forms occurring
fifty times or more. Although it does not occur more than fifty times in the New Testament apart from compounds,
lÊv is given first as paradigmatic.

I. The words and their meanings
A. aÈtÒw, aÈtÆ, aÈtÒ: he, she, it (personal pronoun)
himself, herself, itself (intensive adjective
when in predicate position)
same (identical adjective when in attributive
position)
B. •autoË, •aut∞w, •autoË: himself, herself, itself (reflexive pronoun;
in genitive, dative and accusative cases only)
C. aÏth: this (demonstrative adjective/pronoun)
II. Examples of usage

A. aÈtÒw, aÈtÆ, aÈtÒ
Personal pronoun: ı énØr égapò tØn §kklhs¤an aÈtoË.
“The man loves his church.”
aÈtÚw égapò tØn §kklhs¤an aÈtoË.
“He loves his church.”
N.B.: aÈtÒw is used by itself here, apart from any
relationship to the definite article. Its gender and
number are determined by its antecedent; its case
is determined by its use.
Intensive adjective (“-self”): ≤ gunØ aÈtØ égapò tØn §kklhs¤an.
“The woman herself loves the church.”
aÈtØ ≤ gunØ égapò tØn §kklhs¤an.
“The woman herself loves the church.”
N.B.: aÈtÒw is used in the predicate position
when used to intensify the word it modifies. It
agrees in gender, number and case with this word.
94
Helps for Translating aÈtÒw and Similar Words
Identical adjective (“same”): ı aÈtÚw énØr égapò tØn §kklhs¤an.

“The same man loves the church.”
ı énØr égapò tØn aÈtØn §kklhs¤an.
“The man loves the same church.”
N.B.: aÈtÒw normally is used in the attributive
position; it agrees in gender, number and case
with the noun it modifies.
B. Reflexive pronoun: ≤ gunØ égapò •autÆn.

“The woman loves herself.”
N.B.: The initial • is the definite clue.
C. Demonstrative pronoun: aÏth ≤ gunØ égapò tØn §kklhs¤an.

“This woman loves the church.”
N.B.: The rough breathing and the accent over
the initial diphthong are definite clues for the
meaning “this.” Also, only the feminine nomina-
tive forms aÏth and aÏtai look at all like aÈtÒw.

Part Nine
Conjunctions, Negatives and Adverbs
A special challenge to the student of Greek is often posed by particles,
small words that are indeclinable, often compounded, and frequently similar to
each other in Greek spelling and English meaning. Few, if any, have English
derivatives. These words are important in reading and interpreting, and a little
extra study to learn them carefully will pay good dividends. Most particles
are conjunctions, negatives, or adverbs; these important particles from Parts
Three and Four are presented again here for review.
Conjunctions
éllã but (strong adversative)
d° and, but (mild adversative; postpositive [does not stand first
in its clause]); m¢n . . . d°, “on the one hand . . . on the
other hand”
ên (usually untranslatable, but with a generally conditional
meaning such as “should, could”)
êra so, then (postpositive)
gãr for (postpositive)
g° indeed, even (postpositive)
§ãn if (takes a verb in the subjunctive mood)
e‡ if
·na in order that, that (takes a verb in the subjunctive)
ka¤ and, also, likewise (ka¤ . . . ka¤, “both . . . and”)
˜ti that, because, since
oÔn therefore
Àste therefore, so that
Negatives
oÈ no, not (used with indicative verbs; emphatic form is oÈx¤)
oÈd° and not, nor (oÈd° . . . oÈd°, “neither . . . nor”;
all forms are used with indicative verbs)
98
Conjunctions, Negatives, and Adverbs
mÆ no, not (used with non-indicative verbs)

mhd° and not, nor yet (mhd° . . . mhd°, “neither . . . nor”;
all forms are used with non-indicative verbs)
Adverbs

eÈy°vw immediately
≥dh now, already
mãkroyen from afar
mhk°ti no longer (used with non-indicative verbs)
˜te when

oÈk°ti no more, no longer (used with indicative verbs)
oÎpv not yet
poË where? (note that this and the next three adverbs beginning
with p are interrogatives)
pÒyen from where?
