Also, vocabulary from Speak Koine Greek: A Conversational Phrasebook by Frederick J. Long and T. Michael W. Halcomb is examined, and a conversation in Koine takes place.

The class begins by singing Philippians 2:5-11 in Greek to the tune of Adeste Fideles:
Say the first line and then begin to sing with the ὃς.
τοῦτο γὰρ φρονείσθω ἐν ὑμῖν ὃ καὶ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ·
ὃς ἐν μορφῇ Θεοῦ ὑπάρχων,
οὐχ ἁρπαγμὸν ἡγήσατο τὸ εἶναι
ἴσα Θεῷ, ἀλλ’ ἑαυτὸν ἐκένωσε,
μορφὴν δούλου λαβών,
ἐν ὁμοιώματι
ἀνθρώπων γενόμενος·
καὶ σχήματι εὑρεθεὶς
ὡς ἄνθρωπος, ἐταπείνωσεν
ἑαυτόν, γενόμενος ὑπήκοος
μέχρι θανάτου,
θανάτου δὲ σταυροῦ. (Repeat last two lines)
διὸ καὶ ὁ Θεὸς αὐτὸν
ὑπερύψωσε,
καὶ ἐχαρίσατο αὐτῷ ὄνομα
τὸ ὑπὲρ πᾶν ὄνομα·
ἵνα ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι Ἰησοῦ πᾶν γόνυ κάμψῃ
ἐπουρανίων καὶ ἐπιγείων καὶ καταχθονίων,
καὶ πᾶσα γλῶσσα ἐξομολογήσηται
ὅτι Κύριος
Ἰησοῦς Χριστός,
εἰς δόξαν Θεοῦ πατρός.
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Who, being in the form of God,
thought it not robbery to be
equal with God: But made himself of no reputation,
and took upon him the form of a servant ...
in the likeness ...
of men ... was made:
And being found in fashion
as a man, he humbled
himself, and became obedient
unto death,
even the death of the cross. (Repeat last two lines)
Wherefore God also ... him
hath highly exalted,
and given him a name
which is above every name:
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
And that every tongue should confess
that . . . is Lord . . .
Jesus Christ, . . .
to the glory of God the Father.
The class ends with the students singing Revelation 4:11; 5:12, 13 to the tune of “Guide Me, O thou great Jehovah”:
Ἄξιος εἶ, Κύριε,
λαβεῖν τὴν δόξαν
καὶ τὴν τιμὴν καὶ τὴν δύναμιν·
ὅτι σὺ ἔκτισας
τὰ πάντα, καὶ διὰ
τὸ θέλημά σου
εἰσὶ καὶ ἐκτίσθησαν. …
Ἄξιόν ἐστι τὸ ἀρνίον
τὸ ἐσφαγμένον λαβεῖν
τὴν δύναμιν καὶ πλοῦτον
καὶ σοφίαν καὶ ἰσχὺν
καὶ τιμὴν καὶ δόξαν καὶ εὐλογίαν …
εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων.
Thou art worthy, O Lord,
to receive glory
and honour and power: for thou hast created
all things, and for
thy pleasure [“will”]
they are and were created. ...
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive
power, and riches,
and wisdom, and strength,
and honour, and glory, and blessing ... for ever and ever.
