Glad I found this channel; excellent explanations to supplement the material in the textbook, which is quite dense. "He shall not give a ransom of fortune to the girl." "He" - Nominative (Subject) "a ransom" - Accusative (D.0.) "of fortune"- Genitive (Possession) "to the girl" - Dative (I.O.)
I have some experience (off and on) with Greek and your lessons are very helpful to me (Thank-you!!). I hope you continue them-my target is not fluency in Greek for reading the Bible in Greek but to be able to understand its sentences much better-a deeper understanding. I found a parallelism in Jude 5-8 which you might like. The 3 apostates are compared in reverse order to the 3 sins of the false teachers; A-B-C to C-B-A. Peter does the same thing in 2 Peter 2:1-10 > same apostates - same order - same false teacher sins - same order. I think it must have been an early Church expression. And the 3 represent the three ways sin besets us > through the BODY - SOUL - SPIRIT. 1 John 2:16 and Genesis 3:6 Just as Jesus was tempted by Satan in His body, soul and spirit. Finding this helped me understand that the "lust of the eyes" does not refer to fleshly lust but to a sin of the conscious soul; it is a lack of faith - apostate Israel only believed what they could "see" in the moment.
Great clear lesson. Really useful. I have a question. In the sentence "the boy threw the ball to the girl", in order to be an indirect object, doesn't the girl have to be between boy and ball i.e. the boy threw the girl a ball? More relevantly, is it only indirect objects that can take the dative or can objects of independent prepositions also use the dative?
WAs interested in Greek grammar but the religious references turned me off from listening. Just wanted to learn basic Greek grammar not Biblical quotes. lol
So helpful. Currently taking Greek and using Bill Mounce’s intro to Greek. This is great and concise explanation.

This video is soooooo helpful
Hi, does Biblical Greek similar to Attic Greek? I'm using your video to study for my Attic Greek class.

Is this Greek or Ancient Greek?
I think it's ancient Greek
Ancient Greek but he uses Modern Greek pronounciation.
