The College is still in the founding stage, so we’ll need to convert the first batch of facilitators from among the pioneer batch that have walked with me since the beginning of this year.

As such, our agreed timing for classes is during the late morning slot (10am-12pm, SGT/PHT) which is about 7am in Pakistan and 7.30am across India.

Once we have laid a strong foundation in the basics of reading the Interlinear (subtitled) version of the Bible, we will certainly be able to spread our wings to other time slots once we reach a certain capacity to supply the demand of GNT facilitators who are able to orientate future students all 4 stages of exegesis, namely, (1.) transliteration, (2.) pronunciation, (3.) translation and (4.) interpretation (in that order).

At that time (probably around Sept-Oct, 2021) we should have the capacity to extend our reach into many more time slots to meet the increasing demand for instructors and classes.

1 John 2:1 Interlinear

Thanks for your patience and please keep this project in prayer that the strong will help the weak and the not so weak can help the not so strong so that we may all come into the fullness and stature of the matured in the Body of Christ found more and more in the bosom of the Father.

Synopsis: Combination of the four core competencies (transliteration, pronunciation, transliteration, interpretation) to achieve textual literacy in Q2 (Apr – Jun, 2021)

LINE BY LINE (Greek) and PRECEPT BY PRECEPT (English): These are the colour-coded self-organised learning groups to help you to master what is needed for the Q2 Assessment on the week of June 13, 2021.

TRANSLITERATE – Articulation of the Greek alphabet into English. Corrected spelling and mental conversion from the Greek paradigm letter-by-letter with pattern recognition of the peculiar alphabets that appear on the screen from left to right accordingly. Red group is assigned to do this transliteration challenge.

PRONUNCIATION – Articulation of individual words. Recognise and articulate individual words, line by line in preparation for syntax morphology into the word order that English Bible students are familiar with. Green group is assigned to do this pronunciation challenge.

TRANSLATION – Articulation of ideas. Conversion from known sequences in the GNT into equivalent meanings, thought for thought and precept by precept. Purple group is assigned to do this translation challenge.

INTERPRETATION – Articulation of doctrine. What are the key problems facing the churches and how do the solutions proposed in the first century remedy the situation faced by contemporary believers in the last days. Blue group is assigned to do this interpretation challenge, precept-by-precept.
