Greetings everyone. There's been a few requests for the basics of Koine Greek so I will start a few threads on it.

First, I'll start with the Greek Alphabet. This chart will illustrate the Greek alphabet and how to transliterate it.

Α/ α /a
Β / β /b
Γ / γ / g
Δ / δ / d
Ε / ε / e (short)
Ζ / ζ /z
Η / η /e (long)
Θ / θ /th
Ι / ι / i
Κ / κ / k
Λ / λ / l
Μ / μ / m
Ν / ν / n
Ξ / ξ /x
Ο / ο /o (short)
Π / π / p
Ρ / ρ / r
Σ / σ / ς /s
Τ / τ /t
Υ / υ /y (alone) u (dipthong)
Φ / φ / ph
Χ / χ /ch
Ψ / ψ / ps
Ω / ω / o (long)

Examples-
εγο = ego
ηχο = echo
ψυχη = psyche
φωνη = phone
ιδεα = idea
δογμα = dogma
σκηνη = skene
στιγμα = stigma
χαρισμα = charisma
διαγνοσις = diagnosis
παραλυσις = paralysis
χαρακτηρ = character
προγνωσις = prognosis
καταστροφη = catastrophe
μεταμορφωσις = metamorphosis

Dear Cleante, How would you say in Greek, with transliteration,

We believe in God the Father, in God the Son, Jesus Christ our LORD, and in God the Holy Spirit Who proceeds from the Father alone. How would you say that sentence in the Greek language? God bless you. In Erie PA Scott R. Harrington

You need to give the names of the letters along with them.

It's not funny at all that Roman Catholicism, Lutheranism, and Calvinism, Anglicanism, are still lost in the darkness of semi-Sabellianism, of Augustinianism, of Filioquism. John 15:26 proves their dogma, which they say is "necessary for salvation" (Thomas Aquinas), is heresy. And no heresy comes from Jesus Christ. I was a heretic before God saved me from believing in the Filioque. God have mercy on all of us. Amen.

I particularly liked the EXAMPLES. Do you have any favorite web sites you study from or
suggest to study from -- any sites with audio for listening to pronunciation ... take us on a
little tour of the grammatical elements as an overview sometime.

I post below a couple of summary charts for review, critique and possible use:

Here is a cheat sheet I found online, not that easy to read, and I think needs some
annotation and commentary. Do you have anything similar or better to share, maybe
with a few words of guidance on grammatical structure and key points?

Dear Cleante (and Zossima, and other Eastern Orthodox Christians): recommended article:

"The Battle of Hastings: 1066 A.D. Excerpt from: Orthodox Christianity and the English Tradition"
http:// orthodoxengland.org.uk/ocet55.htm

http:// The Battle of Hastings : 1066 A.D.

God bless you. Amen. In Erie PA Scott R. Harrington

Thank you. Do you find that many Orthodox theologians now insist on saying from the Father "alone", as Saint Photios the Great did, or stressed, as this is necessary now to say, to combat Filioquism? It just reinforces what John 15:26, which does not include the word "alone", but "alone" does not falsify the meaning and intent of John 15:26. God have mercy on us. In Erie PA Scott R. Harrington
