Bible Question (short): same English word - different Greek word |
Question (full): 2 Tim. 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 2 Tim. 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: In the above two verses the word "scripture" is used. In the first instance in verse 15 the Greek word, gramma pronounced (gram'-mah)is used for "scripture. In the second instance in verse 16 I find a different greek word, grapho pronounced (graf'-o)is used here for the word "scripture" What is the significance for the use of the two different uses of the greeks words in these two verses. Someone recently said that the first instance refers to the Old testament writtings and the second instance refers to the New Testament wriitings, so that both Old and New Testaments are meant here. What are your thoughts? Has anyone ever researched this? I did look at my Strongs definitions, but they didn't seem that helpful to me. I thought some of you might have a deeper understanding of the Greek as used here, than my Strongs has. New Creature |
