This is from my daily Greek exercise of sight reading many months ago, courtesy of Vincent S Artale Jr.

I read the kindle version of this book in preparation for my first funeral that I will be doing as a pastor.  I had to read this pretty quick given the situation.  I am glad I did as it was helpful.  I read this work and took lots of notes from it.  This was a book that I wished I read in seminary.
