Out loud reading of 1st John in Greek?

Are you learning Koine Greek, the Greek of the New Testament and most other post-classical Greek texts? Whatever your level, use this forum to discuss all things Koine, Biblical or otherwise, including grammar, textbook talk, difficult passages, and more.

Out loud reading of 1st John in Greek?

Post by Duane Jones »

Does anyone have any idea where I can hear/follow along in Greek of the reading of 1st John? I have Bill Mounce reading 1st John 1:5 - 2:5 but would like to follow along with the rest of the book.
Thanks!

Duane

There are at least four other complete readings, and several more partial readings, of 1st John here

An excellent source, I use it myself and like it far better than the Erasmian accent ones, as the reader uses an accent that is pretty close to Modern Greek; MG is very close to what scholars now agree was used in the Koine period, when the NT was written. The site has the rest of the NT also.

I can follow along with greeklatinaudio.com when I have the text in front of me, but I'm having trouble following him without the text (perhaps because he reads so fast?).

Does anyone have a suggestion for me? I'm thinking more practice is necessary.

Hi, Tim,

First of all, this guy DOES speak Greek very fast!

It is helpful to actively write out the words you will be listening to. First, make a literal, word-for-word English translation. Follow the Greek word order. Then, from this, write out the words back into Greek. Then listen to the audio. Do not read the text at the same time as you listen to it.

Listening, like reading, is a passive skill. Writing, like speaking is active. We have to learn all four.

[ χαιρε ω Τιμοθε,

πρωτον μεν ουν ουτος γε λαλεῖ Ελληνιστι ταχεως!

ωφελιμον δε το γραφειν ενεργῶς τους λογους ὧν ακουεις. πρωτον μεν ποίει το "λογον κατα λογον" Βρεττανικῃ μεταφρασιν. ἑπου την Ελληνικην λογοταξιν. επειτα εκ τουτου γραφε τους Ελληνικους λογους. επειτα ακουε της ηχωγραφης. μη αναγιγνωσκε αμα ακουων.

το μεν ακουειν, ωσπερ το αναγιγνωσκειν, "παθητικη τεχνη" εστιν. το δε γραφειν, ωσπερ το λεγειν, εστιν "ενεργητικη" δει ημας μανθανειν πασας ταυτας τας τεχνας. ]
οὐ μανθάνω γράφειν, ἀλλὰ γράφω τοῦ μαθεῖν.
