User:Proteins/New Testament Greek/Salutations in the New Testament

Many of the books of the New Testament are letters, which usually begin with a salutation, a greeting from the letter's author to its intended readers.

The salutations of the New Testament are excellent reading practice, since they're simple in form and grammar. Many of the words are recognizable proper names such as Χριστός and Παῦλος, or common nouns such as κύριος (Lord). The student can begin by reading the titles of the New Testament books in Greek, such as Προς Ρωμαίους (To the Romans), and then graduate to the salutations themselves. In a larger class, each student can read one salutation, going around the room. When beginning to learn Greek, you should read the words out loud.

List of salutations
Not every book in the New Testament has a simple salutation. This list excludes the four Gospels, Acts, Hebrews, 1 John, and Revelations. The first entry, the salutation from Romans, was simplified by removing verses 2–6.
