| yearegods, Welcome to the forum. In 2 Corinthians 11:2 the word for jealous is the Greek word zelos-- Ardent concern, zeal,enthusiasm. Now look at Acts 7:9 and 17:5 the word jealous here is the Greek word zelloo- envious,to experience morally corrupt zealous ill will. With cases like this there can be multiple usages for a single word. Usage and context are vitally important to any study of God's Word. Look at these passages of scripture and you'll get an idea of what I'm saying here. In Him, lionheart |

| Hello yearegods, The NASB reads, "For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband, so that to Christ I might present you as a pure virgin." The word for jealous is, 'zeloi' (Gr.) It means "to burn with zeal", "to be heated or to boil with envy, hatred, anger", In a good sense, "to be zealous in the pursuit of good". When Paul writes, 'theou zeloi', it could more literally be said, "with a jealousy of God". Paul has an interest in the matter and treats the Corinthians as his bride. The Commentary Critical adds this: "The justification of his self-commendations lies in his zealous care lest they should fall from Christ, to whom he, as "the friend of the Bridgroom" (Jn. 3:29), has espoused them; in order to lead them back from the false apostles to Christ, he is obliged to boast as an apostle of Christ, in a way which, but for the motive, would be 'folly'. 'godly jealousy'- literally "jealousy of God" (cf. 1 Cor. 1:12- 'godly sincerity', literally, 'sincerity of God') A jealousy which has God's honor at heart (1 Ki. 19:10). I hope this helps, BradK |

| Dear yearegods, Please make first letter capital for "God" to show our respect. He is not one of the gods, He is the only one God. In your user name, are you implying that you believe in gods? It should be useful for you to study more about the attribute of God; thus, I commend you to the link : monergism.com Shalom Azure |
