II Timothy 3:16-17ESV / 313 helpful votes
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.
Hello Brothers and Sisters in Christ.
I recently started a new bible study . I reached for the normal tools I use for study. This got me wondering . What do y'all use ?
I will throw out what I use so y'all can see where I am coming from. I start of with about 4 different translations of the Scriptures. ESV , NASB , KJV , and the Amplified versions. Just to see how each phrase each passage.
Along with that I use Scripture dictionaries, interlinear translations,social or cultural background commentaries of the Bible , and a standalone concordance To get a better understanding of certain words. I also read general commentaries on Scripture like Mathew Henry I also use others for balance. That's a general overview of the stuff I have in book form to use . I use apps , e-books,and other electronic resources.
Enough about what I use what about y'all . What do you use ?
I also remember we must trust Scripture above all and the most important tools are prayer and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Also Brothers and Sisters please let's talk about what best for you . We are not all gifted in the same ways . So The LORD my call some one to study in a way that best suits that person .
Blessings
Your brother in Christ
