Greetings Brian:

I'm responding to your question about a Greek New Testament. I have 
been slowly teaching myself Koine for over 15 years. Last September I 
got the NET Bible Diglot (to which you had a link in your email). I 
love it, and feel its use has greatly helped my Greek in a short time. 
I highly recommend it.

If, as some have suggested, you'll be prone to relying too much on the 
translation, cover the English side with a piece of paper. The NET 
Bible is a translation -- a good one -- though prone to the weaknesses 
of any translation. Isn't that exactly why we're investing in learning 
this impossible, beautiful language?

Best in your Greek studies.

Jim McGinness
