1 Elementary Greek Vocabulary Coordinated with Mounce, Basics of Biblical Greek (2d ed.) and with two common sets of vocabulary cards (Gromacki and Mounce) by Rodney J. Decker, Th.D. (v. 2.0, 2006) Ch. 04 [ 26 words] Abraham angel, messenger amen, truly, verily, so let it be man, mankind, person, people, human being, humankind apostle, envoy, messenger Galilee writing, Scripture David glory, majesty, fame ,725 I last life ,317 god, God ,153 and, even, also heart, inner self world, universe, people (who live in the world) word, statement, message (written or oral; ctr. ῥῆμα) Paul Peter Pilate spirit, Spirit, wind, breath prophet Sabbath, week Simon sound, voice, noise Christ, Messiah Pay attention to the punctuation in the gloss column; as in a lexicon, semicolons and commas are significant in categorizing semantic ranges. In the Gromacki card # column, an entry of 9999 indicates a word that does not have a card in that set. This is usually (but not always) a proper name. Errata are welcome; see < to submit them to me. Thanks.
