Here's what members say about this site: "Congratulations for your excellent site! It's amazing the amount of resources it offers, both for a beginner like me or for someone with more advanced knowledge of Greek." -- Nestor Forster "Thank you for your wonderful resources. I have told my whole Greek introductory class a couple of times about your site. I honestly don't know what I'd do without it. Most of all, your site helps me just plain dig....and understand Him better." -- Lani Howarth "I would like to thank you for your fantastic and invaluable work on your website. Your site is really a blessing. I cannot believe how much it has aided me in seeing more of the deep truths of God's Word. You and your work are, and will be in my prayers. May God continue to bless you abundantly in our Lord Jesus Christ." -- Zach Goodman "You have a GREAT site and a very useful tool for Bible study. I am a seminary student and your site has been a tremendous blessing." -- Tom Chandler "I have been using GBS for several months now. Thank you for this great help to studying and teaching the Bible. I'm also grateful for the addition of the ESV and some of the recent enhancements to help understand the grammar and syntax of the Greek text. Thank you for your work in making God's Holy Word more accessible to a world in dire need of the Gospel of Jesus Christ!" -- Larry Beane "I am using your site and have recommended it to a friend. You have done a wonderful job, especially with the color-coding of the Greek text. The site is well thought out, useful, and very user-friendly. Great job! I did a little translation in James last night, that aspect is also a great concept, as it encourages you to think through various aspects of translation so that your mechanical rendering can become a thought out spiritual expression of what is being communicated by the text--very thought provoking." -- Daniel R. Berger "I am in an introductory course for New Testament Greek in the seminary. When I found your site it was like finding a gold mine. You have decreased the anxiety and stress level in this learning process immensely. We are doing translations, focusing on nouns, pronouns, and adjectives. Your site has provided me with an excellent tool for double checking my initial translations and finding my mistakes. Thank you." -- Eldon Anderson "I really, REALLY like the site. I am a student of Greek, and mentor students who are new to Greek grammar, so any helps we can find are terrific. I find the site actually makes translating fun and educational. Another great benefit is that you can save your work and access it from any computer. The Greek Bible Study Web site is a FABULOUS tool to add to our toolbox!" -- Sarah R. Madden "I just stumbled across your site today and have subsequently sent the link to all my colleagues and students. Thanks for making this available to the body of Christ. You should also know I set it as a link for my Greek students on my web page here at the University. I am sure my students and I will continue to benefit from your labors. [The next morning...] Do forgive me if I am being a nag, but I was using the program again this morning, and...what more can I say, this thing ROCKS! I was telling my friend this morning a program like this costs hundreds...hundreds of dollars. Thanks again for making it available to the world!! I can see myself using it for the rest of my life, Lord willing. χάρις σοι καὶ εἰρήνη." -- John Oliff "I have just recently graduated this year with a B.A in Theology and I was looking for somewhere to learn Greek. i did a search and came upon your site. I just could not believe how good it is. I was also really grateful for the ten top tips to help you study, which I have printed out and read several times; it's just brilliant! Thank you so much for going to this much trouble so the ordinary person can study the Scriptures in the Greek language. I will certainly be passing on your website to people in my church. My Bible studies have gone to another level now which is great. May God continue to bless you in your work." -- Jenny Murphy "I just love the Word and I want to know all I can know about the Word of God. When I got to your site I was just amazed! The more I saw the more I wanted to see. Beautiful, you are bringing the original language to the 'common' folk, just as Jesus would. Thank you, I intend to use this site for my study and I will tell all!" -- Gail Schoenke "What a wonderful tool! Thanks very much! I think I'll put away my printed Greek text and make Greek Bible Study my daily source; at least, it's always there on my desktop." -- Michael Pakaluk "I really like being able to follow along with my Pastor using your site! I am actually able to recognize and am able to define some of the Greek words he uses." -- Judy Riggs "Thanks for the awesome site. Still much to learn but what an amazing resource. One of the coolest and most helpful features is Greek Word Study." -- Allen Combs "Greetings from Korea. Thank you so much for what is the best site for me. My prayer is to know God's Word more vividly and correctly. And your site is really helpful to me! May God continually bless you." -- Jin Soon Kim "Thank you for this WONDERFUL resource. With it I can easily get back to my Greek! The Lord bless and keep you!" -- Cynthia J. Fazzini "I have been a user of Greek for decades in ministry and study. Just came upon your web site: what a MARVELOUS tool for reading and translating the Greek Scriptures! Thanks for your wonderful work; may God bless you in all your ways." -- Reed Merino "You have a site of great value of which you can be very proud. And I mean a good sort of proud. Your site has helped me a great deal, and I thank you, and encourage you to continue, for my sake, and, hopefully, for the sake of many more to come." -- Roy Boyd "Thank you for the FREE alphabet and grammar lessons!" -- Timothy Scott "Thanks so much for creating this free site!! It has helped me so much with translating thus far. What a great tool -- and I can see that you have made improvements since I first logged on. I'll be looking forward to the 'friends' feature you have coming soon." -- Mary Ann Nguyen "I just recently signed up for your site (which is freakin awesome by the way)." -- Eric Lex "I really enjoy this site and it's a great help with translation work." -- Carol Stolz "I love the Greek word study function and the link to the BBG chapters on the Graded Reader, both are awesome and the Greek word study in particular has been a huge blessing." -- Michael Micek "I want to thank you for this great resource. I appreciate the work you have done to make it possible to translate so easily." -- Edward Frost "I have enjoyed your Greek Bible Web site. I cannot imagine the amount of exacting work that went into making it, but I can appreciate it because I manage my church's Web site. God bless you for your work in spreading His Word." -- John-Allen Payne "You have a great web site! It has revolutionized my translation procedures.. I really appreciate it." -- Paul Kranz "Thanks for the wonderful tool you have created. It is a wonderful help to me in my studies!" -- Nathan Wells "Wow! you have put together a wonderful bible study page." -- Gary Pruit "I love using your site. Thank you for the great site. It is wonderful to see the biblical Greek community take advantage of new technologies." -- Dag Calafell III "Greetings! WOW - the Greek Bible Study site is great. Thank you for a great resource." -- Tim Klein "I just wanted to say thank you so much for the work you have done in making this site. It is such a blessing to be able to use it free of charge and I'm sure there were countless hours put into it. I showed my Greek class at Bible college this site and they are all really appreciating it (present tense continuous :-). I definitely can say I wouldn't know Greek as well today if it weren't for you. So thanks again, I'm very grateful. Grace and peace be with you!" -- David Hepting "I'm a pastor and a PhD student. I do quite a bit of Hebrew and Greek exegesis in both church sermon-lesson preparation and in my student textual research. I just recently found your web-site and am impressed with its practical design. Thank you for your desire to provide a tool that can be useful for people who desire to learn more about God's written Word." -- Joe Stallings "The most exciting thing about your website is for the first time I am developing a deeper understand of my Lord and Savior's love. I can feel my Faith growing as I spend more time in the Word and work for those precious Life giving truths that are waiting to be uncovered. Your ministry is at the heart of the Christian Faith in bridging the gap between the original New Testament Language and our Native Language and making it so accessible. I prefer your Color-Coding system by far. I have learned more about Koine Greek from your Visual Greek and Greek Bible Study sites than all of the time that I have spent using the leading grammar book and various Koine Greek websites. Years in the Navy SEAL Teams have taught me 2 valuable principles in learning complex subjects. The first principle is KISS, Keep it Simple. The second principle is proper progression: Crawl, Walk, Run, Sprint learning model. The best way to teach someone nothing is to try and teach them everything to fast. Your system of learning Koine Greek is both KISS and progressive." -- Kory Knowles "Thank you so much for having this all this information, and not having to pay to download! You are a blessing! So helpful in preparing my Bible study lessons!" -- Amy Cheatheam "What a great resource! Many thanks for putting this together." -- Emily Varner "Thanks for the awesome resource! (I'm a senior at a Bible college, in my second year of Koine Greek.") -- Sara De Jong "I just logged on for the first time. This looks like it's gonna be great! Thanks!" -- Joel Giles "I've really enjoyed the site; thanks for all the work you put into it." -- Jay Blackwell "The work you do is awesome. I've been using your site for a little while and am continually impressed by the invaluable resource it provides. PLEASE keep up the great work!" -- Jeremy Hodges "I needed to translate Greek verses into Italian. I didn't know what to do. I was almost crying every evening, to study all this. But when I found this site, I was happy that I may do something. I'm really thankful to you all. Let God bless you all!" -- Ajay Akkara "I want you to know that your site has blessed me greatly. I am trying to learn Greek, so I try to log in nearly every day and spend a little time reading. Coupled with lessons, the constant reading is improving my alphabet usage and vocabulary." -- Don Crownover "I am a little new to learning Greek and I recently joined your site. I love the site! It's been an enormous help." -- Bill Mullins "I've enjoyed the web site. It's just the ticket for a middle-aged attorney with a B.A. in Classics earned long, long ago. I might just re-discover the fun of it all! Thanks." -- Dennis Stanchik "GREAT SITE. I love it and will past it on to others. Thanks for your hard work and everyone else involved in making it." -- Steven Weeks "Thank you all for the valuable service in God's Word and access to the original language." -- Ron Bruno "I appreciate this comprehensive tool to deepen my convictions about my relationship with God." -- Matina Montes "God bless you. This is such a wonderful gift and what I have long been praying for." -- Fay Coulouris "I just found this site and I am grateful that someone went to all this work. I took Greek in school for two years but don't remember a thing. So this is both entertaining but more so a study tool. All the best and thanks again for all your hard work." -- Bill Rotchford "I really like your site. It is becoming my 'go to' site whenever I am preparing for sermons. Excellent, excellent product. I have been studying Greek for 20 years and I taught it for 5 years. This is so nice, some of the best software I've ever seen." -- David Richardson "I have a Ph.D. in linguistics and wrote my dissertation on Maliseet-Passamaquoddy, an American Indian language. Having seen and used hundreds, or even thousands, of language tools in many different types of languages, I can tell you, unequivocally, that yours is the best. You have made a huge difference in my life. I am halfway through John. I translate three verses a day after work. And I am having a great time of it." -- David Sherwood "I recently came across your site and have been very excited to discover this excellent tool. Being able to read the Greek text while listening to the audio version is proving especially helpful." -- Ilona Burdette "I just have to tell you thank you so much for your wonderful Greek Bible Study website! I just love it! I have so much fun translating the Scriptures, looking things up and learning God's Word all at the same time! It is such a joy and a thrill! I really, really do enjoy it because it helps me so much in learning and studying God's Word! Nothing, to me, is more exciting than that and I use your site every day!" -- Pam Fernandez "I am so impressed with the site and I use it for study. Thank you for all that you do!" -- Steve Carr "I truly appreciate your website and treasure it as a valuable resource. Thank you for creating such a valuable and efficient tool, but even more so for allowing it to be used free of charge. God bless." -- Justin Risedorf "I appreciate all the hard work that has been put into making this site available. Thank you and may God's hand continue to bless you." -- Calvin Bryant "Thanks for your site, translating was a serious pain, with my lexicons, Greek tools and not enough table space, obviously you know what I am talking about. Words cannot express my joy." -- Kim Lewis "Soon I will be launching a New Testament Greek class. Your site is fantastic. I will have at least 15 students in my NT Greek class, max. size is 30. It is for adults and high-school students. I will certainly be directing all my students to your site. I am offering an intro course and participants are already asking "What's next?" The answer is clearly that they can with their basics then increase their knowledge by working with your site." -- Elinor Abdulla "Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to study the Bible in Greek and in English. Nothing seems to be more interesting to me, and I look forward to more. I am so pleased to have this as a tool for my studies." [Then, a while later] "I was thinking that I should send you a note again and mention how very pleased I am to have this fine service as a study aid. So much of what the Lord has in mind seems to come alive in the Greek, and bring this man into a much closer understanding of his matchless grace. I spend time focusing on one single passage, and often one single word that seems to become far more clear in its meaning. For this I am truly thankful, and blessed beyond measure." -- William Blanton "Thank you for a superior site. Your site clearly opens up so many handy tools. I enjoy and learn from word studies and I have found your site the best for this (for example, you give both short and long definitions, family of words, and breakdown of grammar). Keep up your incredible work." -- Peter O'Brien "I just found this wonderful site this morning when I was studying. I do have a Greek Interlinear Bible but this site is so much handier for my studying." -- Hill Reid "Thank you enormously for your service." -- John Howard "I love your website!" -- Ron Sawhill "Thank you for a very practical Bible study tool. Your site will be invaluable to serious Bible students, not only in the English-speaking world, but millions of Chinese-speaking, Spanish-speaking, and others. Many thanks and God's blessings on you and your co-workers." -- Andrew Hua "I just wanted to say thanks for your fantastic site. I was searching the internet for resources to help me in my personal study of the scriptures and to connect with the original language. I came across a lot of different resources but most of them wanted you to pay for them. I was happy when I came across this site, it had all the information I needed to help better understand God's word and break the language barrier that I had. I enjoy how simple it is to use and best of all you don't have to be an expert at Greek. I use it everyday in my studies. I love this site so much. May God bless you for your efforts." -- Keith Paxton "What an excellent tool, THANK YOU! I was online looking for a Greek dictionary and stumbled into your site. It is everything I was asking for and so much more. I'm still learning the ropes of getting the best out of it, but it is a joy and a pleasure to mine God's Word through your effort. Thank you so much for making it accessible to me. I am blessed by the kindness of strangers. You have added wealth to my world. God Bless you and keep you." -- Sofia Salvatico "Hi. I just wanted to tell you the site is great and really useful." -- Timothy Gindi "I've passed it onto my pastor friends already, Great Idea!" -- Mark DeYoung "Thank you for your thoughtfulness and diligence in providing the website... it is a wonderful tool!" -- Marc Brashear "Thank you very much for your site. It is exactly what I have been looking for as a study tool." -- Joshua Brown |
