The Professor to the Rescue

Why do we study Greek as a dead language? We know that the more senses we employ in learning any language, the easier it is.

The Professor is your friend. Throughout our educational classes on Greek, the Professor will be teaching you fun things to say in Greek like “Hello,” “Goodbye,” how to count to ten, “What is your name?” and much more.

If the Professor is not yet in the chapter you are studying, he will be very soon. He will also be teaching you vocabulary (see an example).

Greek Word of the Day

πρωΐ

πρωΐ means “early (in the morning)” (adverb).

“Very πρωΐ, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb” (Mark 16:2).

Adverb: πρωί (prōi), GK G4745 (S G4404), 12x. Because prōi can designate any time covered in the fourth watch (from 3:00 to 6:00 a.m.), sometimes it refers to very early in the morning, for which we have the phrase “the crack of dawn” (Mk. 13:35; 15:1; 16:2; Jn. 18:28).

You can also receive the Greek Word of the Day if you follow me on Instagram (Instagram.com/billmounce, #GreekWordoftheDay, #BibleStudyGreek) or YouTube (YouTube.com/billmounce).

The dictionary entry is from my book, Mounce’s Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words, which can be purchased in print ( Amazon | ChristianBook.com ) and electronic ( Logos | Accordance | Olive Tree ) form.
