  • Greek Helps

    There are two vocabulary handouts here. One is an excel spreadsheet with the words and their meanings listed. You can use this to organize the words into sets (verbs, all the words that begin with alpha, whatever...) for ease of memorization, or for importing into a flash card program if you like. The other is a .pdf of the words. This is a portable easy-to-read list. 
     
    To see how to set up BibleWorks flash card module to study these words, check out this page of the Bible Works wiki.  You'll need to log in with your luthersem.edu i.d.
