Greetings to all,

especially, Johnathon, Carl, Ted Clayton and Brian who were very kind in 
expressing opinions as why 1 John is a good starting point to start reading 
Biblical Greek.

I have studied Greek off and on since 1975 (I was 12), but have a minor 
problem with rote learning due to a brain injury. B-Greek allows me to keep 
Greek concepts constantly before me, since I do not have anyone to learn 
with. This forum keeps me fresh, helping me overcome the fact that thing 
are a little slower for me.

The point of my asking what stand out in your reading of 1 John, was to 
find what makes this book special to you. What I may at first translate 
without due consideration or thought, may be a masterpiece of literature 
and of masterful revelation to you.

Your comments have given me ideas and motivation to 'keep on keeping on.' 
So when I move onto another book expect a similar question!

Thankyou all,


Brian Sullivan
 


As pointed out in some replies, the greek text often allows for a number of 
renderings.










I have been reading a section of Greek daily for 'practice'
