I don't know how the Greek symbol options in input sources compare but I'll surely try that!

When you go there, be sure to check the boxes for Show Input Menu in Menu Bar and for Keyboard Viewer, in addition to the one for Greek. Then select Greek in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen and type away. Select Keyboard Viewer to see which key does what.

Some Bible study sites use old non-standard fonts that map Greek to Latin. I recommend you avoid going that route, as that is 1980's technology and these days everyone should use Unicode, which does not require anyone to download and install any special fonts to read Greek in docs, email, webpages, etc.

I did, but don't know the best choice. (I'm no computer expert.) I just want to add a font that is easily identifiable and usable like that in Microsoft Word as it was on my Windows based system.

Well if you install Office for Mac a whole bunch of fonts comes with it.

Is there something special about "Koine" Greek? Because OS X comes with a large number of fonts that do standard unicode Greek already. In order to type with them, you activate the Greek or Greek Polytonic keyboards in system prefs/language & text/input sources. If there is something about that which is not working for you, just let us know.

Fonts that do Greek include Arial, Courier New, Geneva, Georgia, Helvetica, Lucida Grande, Menlo, Monaco, Tahoma, Times, Times New Roman, Verdana. You can see the following OK, can't you: Ελληνιστική Κοινή

Did you try Google?
