HackGreek is an online reader for the Greek New Testament built around the SBL Greek New Testament (SBLGNT), the freely licensed critical text edited by Michael W. Holmes. Instead of flipping between a printed text, a lexicon, and a parsing guide, you read the Greek on screen and let the page do the cross-referencing. Tap or hover any Greek word and the Study Pane shows its lemma, a concise gloss, and full morphology — the part of speech, case, number, gender, tense, voice, mood, and person — along with how that form functions in the verse you are reading. The goal is to keep you in the text: you spend your time reading connected Greek prose rather than thumbing through reference works, and the grammatical detail is always one tap away when you need it.
Beginning and intermediate readers rarely need help with the most common words, so HackGreek shows glosses selectively. You set a frequency threshold, and inline glosses appear only for words that fall below it — the rarer vocabulary you are unlikely to know yet — while high-frequency words you have already met stay clean and unannotated. As your vocabulary grows you lower the threshold, and the page gives you less help automatically, nudging you toward fluent reading. When you want a fuller scaffold, you can switch on optional inline English to see an English rendering alongside the Greek, which is useful for checking comprehension or working through a difficult clause. Turn it off again to read the Greek on its own terms. Together these controls let the same chapter serve a first-year student and a seasoned reader without changing tools.
Reading the New Testament aloud — or hearing it read — reinforces vocabulary, accentuation, and phrasing, so every chapter includes high-quality audio. You can loop a single verse to drill a tricky construction until it sounds natural, or loop the whole chapter to listen straight through while you follow along in the text. Listening and reading together builds the kind of pattern recognition that pure translation drills miss. HackGreek also closes the loop between reading and review: when you meet a word you want to remember, one click adds it to your flashcards, capturing the lemma, gloss, and morphology you just saw. Those cards feed a spaced-repetition system, so the vocabulary you encounter while reading is exactly the vocabulary that comes back for review at the right interval. The result is a single workflow — read, parse, listen, and save for review — that turns each reading session into durable progress through the Greek New Testament.
