STEP 01
Choose a place to begin
Select a New Testament passage and take it one verse at a time. You do not need to plan the whole journey before you start.
A passage, then the next verse
A steady way into the New Testament
One verse at a time.
In your own words.
Koine Guide gives learners with Greek basics a focused place to read the New Testament, work through a translation, and learn from considered feedback—without handing over the work.
Bring the Greek you have learned. Begin with the next verse.
The practice
From first reading
to considered revision.
The rhythm stays close to the text: notice what is there, make your own decisions, then use feedback to see the verse again. Nothing needs to rush past the work of reading.
01 02 STEP 02
Read closely; look up what matters
Read the Greek in context. When a word raises a question, inspect its meaning and form—then bring that observation back to the sentence.

03 STEP 03
Write your own rendering
Work out the verse in your own words. Your choices, questions, and first draft are the heart of the practice.
You do the translating
04 STEP 04
Compare, consider, revise
Review AI feedback on the translation you wrote. Weigh its observations against the Greek, revise where you find reason, and keep the final decisions yours.
Feedback to think with—not a finished translation
05 STEP 05
Return at a pace you can keep
Set practice goals to give your reading a little structure. If you want company, group study lets you work through passages alongside others.
Your goals · optional shared study
The important distinction: Koine Guide responds to the translation you write. It offers feedback to consider; you remain responsible for what the verse says in your translation.
A rhythm, not a race
Make a little space for the text.
A manageable routine can be as straightforward as choosing a passage, staying with one verse, and returning when you are ready. Practice goals can help give that rhythm shape.
Prefer to learn alongside someone? Group study is optional; your own reading and translation remain at the center.
A simple shape for a study session
Read. Work. Return.

Your Greek. Your questions. Your translation.
