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] 9999 1 73 Abraham 7 2 175 angel, messenger 55 3 129 amen, truly, verily, so let it be 80 4 550 man, mankind, person, people, human being, humankind 105 5 80 apostle, envoy, messenger 9999 6 61 Galilee 184 7 50 writing, Scripture 9999 8 59 David 242 9 166 glory, majesty, fame 259 10 1,725 I 352 11 52 last 380 12 135 life 400 13 1,317 god, God 441 14 9,153 and, even, also 450 15 156 heart, inner self 497 16 186 world, universe, people (who live in the world) 532 17 330 word, statement, message (written or oral; ctr. ῥῆμα) 9999 18 158 Paul 9999 19 156 Peter 9999 20 55 Pilate 746 21 379 spirit, Spirit, wind, breath 787 22 144 prophet 805 23 68 Sabbath, week 9999 24 75 Simon 955 25 139 sound, voice, noise 9999 26 529 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 <http://faculty.bbc.edu/rdecker/contact.htm> to submit them to me. Thanks.
