If you are going to study the NT seriously, you will have to put the $125 on the table and get the BDAG lexicon. This lexicon was never meant to take the place of a serious, in depth book which has the dimensions to impress your friends and a pricetag to irritate your wife. That said, it will take you decades to get the gist of the NT in Greek if you spend all of your time working through passages with a lexicon and a grammar...

This work was suggested to me by my seminary Greek professor after going through a basic textbook. His reasoning was that in class we learned all of the words that appeared at least fifty times in the New Testement and Kubo's lexicon gives a simple definition of the words that do not appear fifty times. Simply open your Greek New Testament and this book to the corresponding chapter and verse and you are set to read. This...

A very very helpful tool for translating the Greek NT.

Kubo's book is everything you need to quickly and efficiently read Greek with a limited vocabulary. Verse by verse the book lists definitions for the Greek words used most frequently in the New Testament. One of the biggest time consumptions in my translations has been the time it takes to look up words I don't know. Now they are all right there in one place!
