Bible Question: ... |
Bible Answer: 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 |
