Tips for Reading

1. Pick a time limitsay, 30 minutes a dayand do just enough to get through that days reading. Dont be a perfectionist. Press on even if you dont understand every Greek construction or nuance. 2. Read Every Day. It is very hard to catch up when you're behind. Only use one of your 31 o-days in a pinch. 3. Don't use your Bible software as your primary reading text, since your long term goal is to be able to read the Greek NT without crutches. 4. Read the Greek out loud. Hearing the words will improve your comprehension and retention. It encourages you to slow down and take in the meaning one word at a time. 5. Keep a notebook and write down your exegetical and homiletical observations, or ag any issues that you would like to explore in the future. 6. If you are using the Reader's Edition, you will not need to look up much vocabulary, since this is provided in the footnotes. But it is still a good exercise to look up words in BDAG from time to time. BDAG is a treasure trove of grammatical, exegetical, and theological information. 7. Attempt a wooden translation in your head for each verse. A wooden translation ought to follow the word order and grammatical structure of the Greek as closely as possible. 8. Try not to consult an English version too quickly when you encounter diculty. Nevertheless, the contemporary English versions are useful for pointing you in the right direction when you're stuck. 9. We will be translating about 20 verses a day. Chapters that are too long have been separated into multiple days. To determine the amount to be read, take the total number of verses in the chapter and divide them by two. us, Jan. 5 Matt 5a will be verses 1-24, and Jan. 6 - Matt 5b will be verses 25-48. 10. If at any point you get behind, don't try to catchup. Just start that day's reading and go from there. If you have time to go back and read, then you are encouraged to do so; otherwise, save it for next year. Also, if you only want to attempt a little Greek yet stay with the schedule, then what you don't read in Greek read in an appropriate translation.
