- Architecture is the study and practice of designing structures, especially habitable ones. It utilizes civil engineering techniques, but is considered a visual art. It is both the process and the product of sketching, conceiving, planning, designing, and constructing buildings or other structures. The term comes from Latin architectura; from Ancient Greek ἀρχιτέκτων (arkhitéktōn) ‘architect’; from ἀρχι- (arkhi-) ‘chief’ and τέκτων (téktōn) ‘creator’. Architectural works, in the material form of buildings, are often perceived as cultural symbols and as works of art. Historical civilizations are often identified with their surviving architectural achievements.
- 2 John in Greek (ancientlibrary.net)
At only thirteen verses, 2 John is among the shortest books of the Greek New Testament. Written in Koine Greek in the first century AD and traditionally attributed to John, who styles himself the elder, it addresses ‘the elect lady and her children’ — most likely a church — urging love and obedience, and warning against deceivers who deny Christ’s coming in the flesh.
