The description below applies to the book on 1 Enoch and also the Wisdom of Sirach
Increasingly, researchers of Scripture understand the indispensable value of Intertestamental Jewish texts. Since many of these texts were composed in and/or translated and transmitted in Greek, the Jewish Texts Greek Readers (JTGR) series provides a broad sampling of these Jewish texts from the Hellenistic era. The JTGR are advanced Greek readers (Tier 5) in GlossaHouse’s AGROS series. This particular JTGR volume by Benjamin R. Porter contains an introduction to the Greek text of The Wisdom of Sirach as well as Porter’s new translation. As an advanced Greek reader, Porter has prepared footnotes with glosses for Greek words occurring less than thirteen times in the Greek New Testament. Additionally, readers will find translation helps (TH) and morphological helps (MH) for difficult grammatical forms that will inform the translation that provided. Finally, a gloss lexicon of Greek words occurring thirteen times or more in the New Testament is included to aid in translation.
The description below is for the one on 1 Corinthians
1 Corinthians: A Beginning-Intermediate Greek Reader by Jonathan B. Ensor is a Tier 3 GlossaHouse resource in the Accessible Greek Resources and Online Studies (AGROS) series. These Beginning-Intermediate Greek Readers are user-friendly guides for reading based upon The Greek New Testament: SBL Edition (SBLGNT). Each book provides footnotes for all vocabulary words occurring 49 times or less, morphological and translational helps, and variants between SBLGNT and the standard critical editions of the Greek NT. Additionally, each chapter is introduced with a list of these infrequent vocabulary words that occur within the chapter. The list is sorted by word frequency as found in the chapter, arranged from most to least frequent.

Tier 3 resources are designed to build confidence in understanding Greek and to encourage the reading of the Greek New Testament by providing vocabulary glosses, morphological explanations, and translations helps. Any student who uses this book will be able to read directly from the Greek New Testament, to exercise his or her beginning Greek learning, and to see how grammatical and syntactical considerations affect meaning and translation in context.
