Gen. 1:1-3 The Bible is a collection of 66 books. Each book is divided into chapters. And each chapter is divided into verses. The above reference refers to the book of Genesis, the 1st chapter, and verses 1 thru 3. The names of the books can be abbreviated. If someone were reading the Bible out loud, they would say: “Genesis, one, one to three.” I...
Psalm 119:9, 11 Sometimes the Scripture reference can include a selection of 2 or more verses. The example above references the book of Psalms, the 119th chapter, and both verse 9 and verse 11 in that same chapter. This reference would not include verse 10. 9 How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word… 11 I have st...
Matt. 6:25-27, 34 This example references verse 25 to 27 and then also verse 34 of the 6th chapter of Matthew. 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26Look at the birds of the air: ...
Psalm 23 Sometimes, the verse numbers are not specified when the reference is to an entire chapter of the Bible. For example, “Psalm 23” refers to the book of Psalms, the entire 23rd chapter. So Psalm 23 means the same thing as Psalm 23:1-6. By the way, you might hear it referred to as “Psalm twenty-three” or “The 23rd Psalm.” For the book of Psalm...
Luke 15:11ff When you see “ff” after a Scripture verse, it means “and following.”The above reference would refer to verse 11 and following, which in the case of Luke 15, would be to the end of the chapter at verse 32. Luke 15:11ff is the same as Luke 15:11-32. Sometimes, it’s just simpler to say where the reference starts and then say it’s the vers...
1 Cor. 13:1-13 There are few books that have a number in front of the names. For example, there is a book called “1 Corinthians” and the book right after it is called “2 Corinthians.” The above reference would mean the 13th chapter of the book “1 Corinthians,” verses 1 to 13. This would be spoken as: “First Corinthians, chapter 13, verses 1 through...
Jude 24-25 Jude 24-25 refers to verses 24 and 25 in the book of Jude. Since there is only one chapter in the book, the chapter number is not mentioned. There are 5 books in the Bible that are only 1 chapter long. These usually skip the chapter number and are only followed by the verse numbers.
Gen. 35:1-36:43 This would be read: “Genesis Chapter 35, verse 1 to Chapter 36, verse 43.” This Genesis reference starts at chapter 35, verse 1 and goes alway the way to the next chapter, Chapter 36, verse 43. It basically means the entire two chapters: Genesis 35 and 36. It can also be referenced with just the chapters: Gen. 35-36
Eph. 1:3; 2:8-9 When the reference is to verses from different chapters of the same book, a semi-colon is used to separate the chapter/verse references. The reference above is to Eph. 1:3 and Eph. 2:8-9. If there is no reference to a book after the semi-colon, it is referring to the last book that was mentioned. Blessed be the God and Father of our...
Jan 4, 2022 · The name Jeshurun means “upright one” or “blessed one.”. In the parallelism of Isaiah’s poetry, Jeshurun is a synonym for Jacob in the previous line. So we see that Jeshurun is a poetic reference to the nation of Israel. It is a term of endearment; the Greek Septuagint translates Jeshurun as “beloved one,” using a form of the word ...
Sep 10, 2021 · People's names in the Bible often relate rather closely to their life, role, or responsibility. Here's a sampling to show you what we mean: Azariah: he who hears the Lord (just as the prophet did in 2 Chronicles 15) Nabal: fool; senseless (which fits this witless man in 1 Samuel 25) David: beloved (a perfect match for God's chosen king)
Paul quotes from the prophet Joel in this verse, declaring that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved (Joel 2:32). In doing so, Paul accomplishes two things. First, he connects this truth to His statement in the previous verse that Christ, the Lord of all, gives His riches to all who call on Him, both Jews and Gentiles.
