Shlama Akhay ukhatay,
I have a couple of questions about Koine Greek which someone here on the forum might be able to help me with. The first is does anyone know of any example of extra-Biblical Koine Greek? By this I mean first or second century Greek texts, outside the Greek New Testament, which exhibit all the same grammatical peculiarities that the Biblical text does.
Secondly, does anyone know if there has ever been a comprehensive comparison of the grammatical differences between the Greek New Testament and Classical Greek grammar and syntax, showing both the number of differences, and the types and locations of those differences?
