Lesson 33e. Of 58. In a series considering
GETTING TRUE MEANING FROM SCRIPTURE using BIBLE DICTIONARY WORD DEFINITIONS; A – Z
This lesson will address the words
‘CONDUCT’ –‘COST’
The actual meanings we apply to individual words in a scripture are critical to how we understand a verse we may be considering. As a way of helping us toward accurately understanding Bible word meanings as they were intended by the original writers, Bible dictionary definitions are offered. Here is an exercise with which you may test your current understanding of important words you will encounter in your Bible reading against one or more Bible dictionary definitions and contextual meanings. It is suggested that you consider each word and first attempt to think of the initial meaning which comes to your mind. Then compare that with the definitions excerpted from Bible dictionaries for this lesson. If you find these useful, you may wish to print a copy of the entire list from A- Z for future reference in your personal Bible reading. Reality based bible understanding demands ‘Accuracy’!
