Preface
THE ONLINE GREEK NEW TESTAMENT DECLENSION CODES FOR NOUNS, ADJECTIVES, PREPOSITIONS, CONJUNCTIONS AND PARTICLES
Derived, compared and corrected from the Bagster Analytical Greek Lexicon, with comparison made against Perschbacher's New Analytical Greek Lexicon
Abbreviated in a form similar to that found in Friberg's Analytical Greek New Testament

The codes which follow reflect an original abridgment and correction of the data presented in The Analytical Greek Lexicon (London: Samuel Bagster and Sons, 1859).
Comparison also has been made against the revised updating of that lexicon by Wesley J.
Perschbacher in his The New Analytical Greek Lexicon (Peabody, MA: Hendrickson, 1990). The Perschbacher revision failed to adjust over 500 parsing or declensional errors in the original Bagster edition; these now have been corrected.
The abbreviation system was developed independently. Its features are similar to those in Timothy and Barbara Friberg The Analytical Greek New Testament (Grand Rapids: Baker, 1981), and can be used readily by anyone familiar with the Bagster lexicon, Perschbacher, or Friberg.
Many Greek New Testament non-verbal forms (nouns, adjectives, conjunctions, prepositions, and particles) can be interpreted in more than one way. The declensions presented reflect a normal interpretation of those forms which actually occur in the Greek New Testament. Every NT occurrence is covered, and the declensions reflect the totality of Greek NT non-verbal forms.
The data presented are not claimed to be free from error; the editor may be notified of any problem regarding the parsing, declension, or Strong's number assigned to any word, at SEBTS, P. O.

STRONG'S NUMBERS:
To access the lexical root form definition of any Greek word, the appropriate Strong's concordance number immediately follows each Greek word. The definition then can be obtained by the normal routine for definitions as used for English texts.
The Strong's numbers used for the Greek New Testament do NOT always coincide with those used in the English texts. Strong clearly assisted the lay reader of the Authorized Version by assigning numbers to each unique root word form; however, he also attempted further to aid the reader by subdividing some root forms into separately numbered entries.
The result of such subdivision can be seen in the multiple forms of the verb to be (each of which ultimately derives from Strong's 1510). The same policy of separate numerical entries also was applied to various comparative and superlative forms of some adjectives and adverbs, as well as to the adverbial use of some noun forms.
Conversely, rather than treating each word separately (as would have been proper for anyone able to read the Greek), Strong assigned a single unique number to certain multiple-word expressions (e.g., ou mh or ei de mhge). This number no longer was reflective of the individual root forms. Once more, this action was taken by Strong in order to assist the lay English reader who knew no Greek; in practice this policy becomes a severe hindrance to those who know and seek to read and understand the New Testament in its original Koine Greek.
