Why these words matter in context
These are concise contextual glosses, not exhaustive lexicon entries. Word meaning is determined by usage and context, not by a gloss alone.
How to use Greek and Hebrew in Bible study
Original-language study is most useful when it clarifies how a word functions inside a sentence, paragraph, and biblical book. Begin with the surrounding passage, then use word information to test and refine an interpretation.
- Read the complete passage in more than one translation.
- Notice repeated words, contrasts, commands, and connecting terms.
- Study the range of meaning for important words.
- Return to the author’s argument before drawing an application.
