Accordingly, the New Testament richly describes the gospel as "the word" ( Acts 8:4; 16:6; 1 Cor 15:2), "word of God" ( Acts 6:7; 12:24; Heb 13:7; 1 Peter 1:23), "word of the Lord" ( Acts 8:25; 13:48-49), "word of his [God's] grace" ( Acts 20:32), "word of Christ" ( Rom 10:17; Col 3:16), "word of truth" ( Eph 1:13; Col 1:5; James 1:18), "word ...

Verbs are words that convey action or state of being. John wrote that Mary: “came [action] where Jesus was[state of being]” (Jn. 11:32).

The Greek verb deiappears 101 times in the New Testament. It carries a variety of meanings depending on the context. It may be rendered into English by such expressions as “must,” “ought,” or “should.” Our discussion will not be exhaustive but will illustrate some important points.

Oct 23, 2024 · Jesus said, “I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken” (Matthew 12:36). The KJV translates “every empty word” as “every idle word”; the ESV says, “every careless word.”.
Interpreting Scripture is the process of personally discovering what God through his human authors intended the biblical text to mean and effect. Through exegesis and theology one assesses, synthesizes, and applies God’s inerrant Word.
