A Grammar for New Testament Greek

Lesson VII

Errata

On page 43, the text overstates the likelihood of an article appearing with the noun; the text claims that when a demonstrative pronoun modifies a noun the noun must have the article; more correctly, it usually has an article. An example of the use of the demonstrative without an article appears at Acts 1:5--ou) meta_ polla_v h9me&rav.

p. 44 ex. 5 h0ne&gkamen should be accented over the first epsilon

.
