This translation stems from 30 years of dedication. The source of this translation is the BYZ (Majority Text). We have included variant readings from the Textus Receptus. A better understanding of typing skills is employed to highlight grammar nuances: underlining is used to show the main thought of the writer, bold to emphasize the first word in the sentence, and italics to indicate words not present in the Greek text but are added for better reading. Words in parentheses (brackets) denote prepositions in the Greek text. When referring to God, Christ, or the Holy Spirit, pronouns will be capitalized. While Greek is a participle-rich language, this translation will provide only one usage, but the notes will mention other possible translations to offer further alternatives. Nouns and adjectives: Nominatives serve as subjects of the verbs; genitives indicate possession by other nouns; datives function as indirect objects of the verb; and accusatives are direct objects. These are standard interpretations, though exceptions exist as in all languages. Second-person personal pronouns: 'You' (you) when used as the subject corresponds to 'you (singular) and '%you' (plural). For possession, 'your' (singular) and '%your' (plural) are used. As direct objects, 'you' (singular) and '%you' (plural) are employed. Verbs: Greek grammar features six tenses: Present (is doing), Imperfect (was doing), Aorist (which in the notes indicates the past – did), Perfect (have done), Pluperfect (had done), and Future (will/shall do). There are six moods: Indicative (normal), Participle (present: doing; aorist: having done, also future and perfect), Infinitive (present: to be doing; aorist: to have done), Imperative (present: keep doing or stop doing; aorist: do or do not), Subjunctive (present: may do; aorist: might do), and Optative (may do with wishful thinking). Three voices are present: Active, Middle, and Passive. Given Greek's affinity for participles, it's beneficial to grasp their syntactical uses. PARTICIPLES: Time (while: with the present tense; after: with the aorist tense), Means, Manner, Purpose, Result, Cause (because), Concession (although), Substantive, Attendant Circumstance (and), Periphrastic Participle, Indirect Discourse, Adjectival Participle, Redundant (Appositional) Absolute, Genitive Absolute / Nominative Absolute, and Imperatival. INFINITIVES: Complementary, Purpose, Result, Causal, Time, Subject, Indirect Discourse, Appositional, Direct Object, and Imperatival.

The authoritative guide to using the English language effectively, from “the greatest writer on grammar and usage that this country has ever produced” (David Yerkes, Columbia University). The author of The Chicago Manual of Style’s popular “Grammar and Usage” chapter, Bryan A. Garner is renowned for explaining the vagaries of English with absolute precision and utmost clarity. With The Chicago Guide to Grammar, Usage, and Punctuation, he has written the definitive guide for writers who want their prose to be both memorable and correct. Garner describes standard literary English—the forms that mark writers and speakers as educated users of the language. He also offers historical context for understanding the development of these forms. The section on grammar explains how the canonical parts of speech came to be identified, while the section on syntax covers the nuances of sentence patterns as well as both traditional sentence diagramming and transformational grammar. The usage section provides an unprecedented trove of empirical evidence in the form of Google Ngrams, diagrams that illustrate the changing prevalence of specific terms over decades and even centuries of English literature. Garner also treats punctuation and word formation, and concludes the book with an exhaustive glossary of grammatical terms and a bibliography of suggested further reading and references. The Chicago Guide to Grammar, Usage, and Punctuation is a magisterial work, the culmination of Garner’s lifelong study of the English language. The result is a landmark resource that will offer clear guidelines to students, writers, and editors alike. “[A manual] for those of us laboring to produce expository prose: nonfiction books, journalistic articles, memorandums, business letters. The conservatism of his advice pushes you to consider audience and occasion, so that you will understand when to follow convention and when you can safely break it.”—John E. McIntyre, Baltimore Sun
