Should Christians Judge? — Paradigm Shift

Christians sometimes get confused with the concept of judging. Biblically we are commanded to judge (John 7:24 says, “Stop judging by mere appearances, and make it right judgement”). Then at the same time we are biblically told that we are not to …

The two most common verbs in the New Testament and some of their forms (part 1: εἰμί)

A Workbook of New Testament Greek

By far the most common verbs in the NT are εἰμί (‘I am’), and λέγω (‘I say, I tell’).  Each is used well over 2,000 times in the New Testament, with the next most common verb (ἔχω – ‘I have’) coming in at 700 or so.
