Lesson 2 | Vocab
Vocabulary Review
You learned 117 Greek words in Greek I; in Greek II, we will build on that foundation with another 75 words.
After all, vocab is crucial, since it serves precise interpretation and saves pure faith, as you learned here in Greek I. It also makes learning grammar easier, and makes reading more pleasant. You will not regret the hours you spent learning vocab when you are studying your Greek New Testament and rejoicing in what you see there of Christ’s glory!
To give you some time to review, we’re only introducing one new vocab word in this lesson!

Side Note: Two Ways to Provide Definitions for Verbs
You may have noticed that if you click on a Greek verb in Biblearc, the English definition is given as an infinitive. E.g. The definition of σῴζω is “to save, heal.” This is one common way Greek lexicons (dictionaries) choose to format their entries. However, in your vocabulary lists, we provide the English definition representing the inflected form. Thus, for σῴζω, we give the definition, “I save; I heal,” since the –ω ending on σῴζω tells us the subject of the verb is 1st person, singular, “I.”
Both forms have value and we will use them both in the course. For now, it is important for you to see the difference and know that we will always provide the inflected form for your vocabulary.
So now exercise your memory in review of the vocab from Greek I. You can do so either here, on Quizlet’s website (by clicking on “View this flashcard set” in the Quizlet below), within the Quizlet app, or using physical flashcards that you have made.
