Which English Bible verses match these ten Koine Greek verses, that were randomly selected from the Greek New Testament?

This Biblical Greek quiz is meant more as a learning exercise than an assessment. You don't have to know a huge amount of Koine Greek to get pretty much every question in this quiz correct. Usually you can just pick out one or two words you know, and that's enough to select the right answer. Most of the learning experience comes from reading the rest of the words in the verse, in both Greek and English — and comparing them to each other to learn the words you don't yet know.

Another way to learn from this Biblical Koine Greek quiz is to try to translate as much as you can of the Greek verse before you look at the English options.

Currently, if you change the Instant Feedback or Bible Verse Display options below, you have to reload a new random quiz for the change to take effect. Possibly I'll find some time to improve this feature soon, so it works instantly. The Bible book, chapter, and verse is always displayed after you finish the quiz and click on the Review Your Answers button.
