Tonight's the night in Greek class! We begin our translation of the book of 1 John!
It will quickly become clear that the Greek of the New Testament is not the ancient Attic but the simple, straightforward Koine of the first century A.D. Koine means the language common to people everywhere, not simply the language of the common people. And guess what? My students will be reading it and studying it and memorizing it and asking God to use it to change them from the inside out. Can't be more grateful!
