ὁ λόγος = story, reason; in Biblical Greek = word

ὁ οἶκος  = house

ὁ πόνος = toil, labor

Verbs

διδάσκω = "I teach."  The first person sg of the verb is used to cite it; henceforward the vocabulary will give the English infinitive as equivalent.

ἐστί(ν) = (he, she, it) is*

εἰσί(ν) = they are*

ἔχω = to have

λέγω  = to say, speak

θεραπεύω = to heal

πέμπω  = to send

Pronouns

ἐγώ  =  I

σύ =  you (sg)

ἐκεῖνος =  he (It is actually a demostrative meaning "that man," "that one."  The personal pronoun of the third person,  αὐτός, would create the wrong impression here, because in the nominative it usually is emphatic = "he himself."

ὑμεῖς =  you (pl)

ἐκεῖνοι =  they (the plural nominative of  ἐκεῖνος)
