The Value of Greek to Preachers and/or Teachers.
1. Without some knowledge of Hebrew and Greek, you cannot understand the critical commentaries on the Scriptures, and a commentary that is not critical is of doubtful value.
2. Without some knowledge of Hebrew and Greek, you cannot satisfy yourself or those who look to you for help as to the changes, which you find in the Revised Old and New Testament.
3. Without some knowledge of Hebrew and Greek, you cannot appreciate the critical discussion, now so frequent, relating to the books of the OT and NT.
4. Without some knowledge of Hebrew and Greek, you cannot be certain, in a single instance, that in your sermon or teaching based on a Scripture text, you are presenting the correct teaching of the text.
5. Without some knowledge of the Hebrew and Greek, you cannot be independent student, or a reliable interpreter of the word of God.
6. As much as knowledge of Hebrew and Greek can be secured, with the same method, under the same circumstances, by the pupil, in one year, with the aid of interlinear Old Testament, as can be gained of Latin in three years. Greek, though somewhat more difficult, may be readily acquired within a brief period with the aid of the Interlinear New Testament (which contains Lexicon) and an elementary Greek grammar.
7. The Hebrew language has, in all about 7,000 words, and of these 1,000 occur in the OT over 25 times each.
8. The Hebrew grammar has but one form for the Relative pronoun in all cases, numbers and genders; but three forms for the Demonstrative Pronoun. The possible verbal forms are about 300 as compared with the 1,200 found in Greek. It has practically no declension.
9. Within ten years the average man wastes more time in fruitless reading and indifferent talk, than would be used in acquiring a good working knowledge of Hebrew and Greek that in turn would impart to his teaching that quality of independence and of reliability which so greatly enhances one’s power as a teacher.
10. There is one minister in ten who might not if he but would, find time and opportunity for such study of Hebrew and Greek as would enable him to make a thoroughly practical use of it in his work as a Bible-preacher and Bible-teacher.
