How to Conduct a Word Study (Using an interlinear Bible)
12.4 Let’s Practice…
1. What study help do you need to access which will help you parse out the meaning of
any Greek verse?
2. What do the symbols below the English mean in an Interlinear translation of the verse?
3. In our example, we can conclude that I John 3: 6 is talking about what kind of person?
4. In contrast, I John 2:1 is talking about what kind of person?
5. Calvinists argue that no man can be saved unless God gives him the faith to believe. They use
Ephesians 2:8-9 as their proof text. What argument based on the grammar can you make to refute this
belief?
12.5 Let’s Personalize this Lesson…
Activity: If you were able to complete this lesson and knew your Greek grammar, then
congratulations, you are a budding Greek scholar. If not, go back and try again. Keep
trying until you have accomplished the task. You will find, once you have an Interlinear
Greek New Testament, that all verses in the New Testament will open up to you so that
you can rightly divide God’s Word.
