Galatians 1:21

Ἔπειτα ἦλθον εἰς τὰ κλίματα τῆς Συρίας καὶ τῆς Κιλικίας.

1. A Sentence That Quietly Keeps Moving

This verse is short, but Greek makes it feel like a continuation of a larger journey. The sentence begins with:

Ἔπειτα “Then” / “After that”

Immediately, the reader senses movement forward in time. Greek often uses words like this to connect one stage of a narrative to another. The verse feels transitional, almost like the next step on a map.

2. Transliteration

Épita ílthon is ta klímata tis Syrías ke tis Kilikías.
