A Greek-English Lexicon to the New Testament
Greenfield, William
Bible. New Testament -- Dictionaries -- English; Greek language, Biblical -- Dictionaries -- English
With a desire to give completeness to this Lexicon, a list of these
words is presented, with definitions and a record of the places where
they occur, at the end of the Lexicon. This list has been prepared by
Mr. Wallace N. Stearns, under the supervision of Prof. J. Henry Thayer,
of Harvard Divinity School, the successor of the lamented Dr. Ezra
Abbot, and one of the revisers of the New Testament, whose arduous
labors in the department of sacred lexicography are too well-known to
need further mention.
With these statements as to the object and character of this Lexicon, we
commit this new edition to the kind of providence of Him whose words of
truth are therein expounded, and without whose blessings all labor and
effort is but in vain.

EXPLANATIONS
Allusion has been made in the preface to certain peculiarities of New
Testament Greek, which distinguish it from the classic Greek of the
heathen world.
This Lexicon indicates some of these peculiarities, by distinguishing
three classes of words:
I. Later Greek words, marked L. G., the occurrence of which may be
regarded as commencing within the Later Greek period, which is here
reckoned from and includes the writing of the historian Polybius, B.C.
204-123.
II. New Testament words, marked N. T., which only occur in the New
Testament, or if found elsewhere are only in certain peculiar quarters.
III. Septuagint words, marked S., which besides their occurrence in the
New Testament are found only in the Septuagint Version of the Old
Testament, the Greek Apocryphal books, and kindred writings; and the
meaning of which is to be studied, not in the usage of classical Greek
writings, but rather in the light of the Hebrew Old Testament, and the
writings of Jewish authors who were familiar with Hebrew ideas and
Hebrew literature.
