Ah yes, Kata Johannine. I studied it in high school (Jesuit educated, also a Louisiana boy). I'm not sure about the transliteration, but <<Houtos gar egapeisen ho theos ton kosomon hoste ton huion autou, ton monogene edoken hina pas ho pisteuon eis auton me apolletai all' eche zoen aionion>> I'm something of a classicist, but my best friend is amazing with the stuff. He actually speaks Latin (mostly to himself, but still).
I'm visiting Greece this summer, but I don't know a word of modern Greek yet. I imagine a lot's changed in the past couple of millennia.
