New Testament

The books of the New Testament were written in Koine Greek, the everyday Greek of the eastern Roman world. The pages here set that original text beside a fresh English translation, one verse at a time, so you can read the two together even without any Greek. It is a slow, growing project rather than a complete Bible — a book at a time, starting with one of the shortest and most quoted of the letters.

• 1 John

  The First Epistle of John — all five chapters in the original Greek alongside an English translation of each verse. A short letter that turns over and over a handful of words — light, love, truth, life — and arrives at the claim that God is love.
