When writers were inspired to pen what later became the Christian Greek Scriptures, most of them wrote in Greek, using expressions and illustrations easily understood by people who lived in contact with Greek culture.
Kui kirjutajaid inspireeriti talletama hiljem Kristlike Kreeka Kirjadena tuntuks saanud lugusid, kasutas enamik neist kreeka keelt, tuginedes väljenditele ja näidetele, mis olid kreeka kultuuriruumis elavatele inimestele kergesti arusaadavad.
