Almost Greek: [Words in italics are translator’s additions.] 

Galatians 3.26: For you are all sons of Theos via pistis [reliance upon, faith] in Jesus the Christo. For as many of you as ebaptisthete [were baptized] into the Christon, you put on the Christos. For as many of you as were baptizo into the Christos, you put on the Christos. There aren’t in [among] you Jews nor Greeks; there isn’t in you slave nor freeman [citizen]; there isn’t in you male nor female; for you are all one in the Christo Jesus. Now, if you are of the Christou then you are spermai [descendants] of Abraham; even heirs down to epaggelian [announcement, proclamation, promise]. 

1^st Corinthians 10: I not want you to be ignorant, Brothers, that all our forefathers were under the pillar of cloud and all passed via the Red Sea [Gulf of Aqaba]. All were ebaptisanto to Moses in the cloud and in the Sea and all ate the same spiritual food [manna] and drank the same spiritual beverage. For they drank of [from] an accompanying spiritual Rock and the [that] Rock was the Christos. 

Romans 6: What shall we say then? Shall we remain in hamartia [missing the mark, goal; offense, sin] to make more charis [graciousness]? Not let it be caused to be! How shall we who died to hamartia still live in it ourselves? or don’t you know that all who ebaptisthemen into Christon Jesus were ebaptisthemen into His death? We certainly were buried with Him via baptismatos into death, in order that just as the Christos was awakened emergent from dead via the glory of the Father, in this way we also may walk in renewal of life. For if we have been caused to be intimately united with the resemblance of His death, conversely, we shall also be intimately united with His anastaseos [standing up again, resurrection]; knowing this: that our antique man [old self] was crucified in company with Him in order that our soma of hamartias might be rendered totally idle (in order that we no longer would be slaves to hamartia) for the one having died off dedikaiotai [has been made just] off of hamartias. Now if we died with the Christo, we pisteuomen [have faith] that we shall also live with Him, knowing that the Christos, having been aroused emergent from dead, dies no more. Death no more lords it over Him. For that He died, He died to hamartia once but in that he lives He lives to Theos. In this way, you also count yourselves to be (in fact) dead to hamartia but alive to Theos in our Kurio Jesus the Christo.

 

Luke 3.15: Now while the people were all anticipating and thoroughly reckoning in their hearts concerning John (if perhaps He is the Christos), John began to speak to everyone, saying, “I (in fact) baptizo you with water but He comes after me Who is more forcible [powerful] than me, the strap of Whose sandals I am not fit to loosen. I am subordinate to Him. He will baptisei you in the Hagios Pneuma and in fire; Whose winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly cleanse [purge] His threshing floor. And the grain He will collect into His granary, but He will burn the chaff down under unextinguished [unextinguishable] fire.” 

Luke 7.28: Jesus says, “For I say, not even one in [among] those born of woman is a larger [greater] prophetes [before-teller, prophet] than John the Baptistes but the mikroteros [small] one in the Kingdom of Theos is greater than he is.”
