Greek Vocabulary
with focus on First Mention

This is a vocabulary study of Biblical Greek. I converted a file that contained all the Greek words of the New Testament into a standard text file. The original file size was 823K. I then deleted all the carriage returns and the file was reduced to 781K. The orginal file used periods to indicate basic grammatical words that were not listed in the concordance; that reduction left 687K. The final reduction of extra space between words previously deleted left 596K (85,531 words).

Here is the key for this study: The words will be ordered by the first time they are mentioned in the New Testament; followed by a definition; and file size if changed.
