Study Philippians 1:1-11 with Logos
This is an introduction to inductive Bible study with the aid of Logos Bible Software utilizing the Basic Bible Study Workflow.
Philippians 1:1-11
Let us begin by launching the Logos online app or the Logos program on your computer. If you are looking at this article in the Christian Military Fellowship Group, you will find the Logos icon located in the “Faithlife Connect section at the bottom left of the page. Click on it and it should open another tab at the https://app.logos.com site.
In Logos we will begin by using the “Guides” menu to launch a workflow entitled “Basic Bible Study.”
In the Basic Bible Study search window enter Phil 1:1-11 and click on the Philippians 1:1-11 link.
We can now use the result to help guide us through our study and also record our observations.
Next we will open a Bible from the Library. Click on the Library Icon and enter: type:bible
The available Bible editions will appear. You can click on it to open it OR you can click and drag it to the shortcut section of the top bar to keep it handy. You can do this with any resource. We will be using the ESV for this study.
In the Reference box enter: Phil 1 and either click on Philippians 1:1 or the enter key.
Next we will want to open our “Notes” tool. Click on the “Tools” menu and click on “Notes”.
In the Notes tool click on the “Notebook” icon. Then click on the plus + sign and enter Philippians.
This will allow us to store any highlights that we us in an orderly place where we can find them later. This is the same procedure for use in any resource (like a commentary).
We will want to pull down the “Set Notebook” and select Philippians so that all of our highlights and notes land in this notebook. You can also pull down the highlighter color just to the left and check out all of the highlighter options available to you. You can add a note as well directly here or from the popup window as well.
As we begin by reading the passage, we will want to keep in mind some questions that we will refer to as 5Ws and an H (Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How).
We can now begin our observation of the text. Do as the workflow suggests: Read the passage several times.
If we use our 5Ws and an H method we might highlight Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, overseers, and deacons.
We can hover over the superscripts and see what additional information is available to us from Logos.
If we hover over the superscript 1 next to servants we will discover the Greek manuscript word is doulos. We can right click on servant and the popup menu will give us further information. We see that doulos can have the meaning of slave or servant. If we click on first doulos entry the “Look up” section will appear. We can click the down arrow and the “PLTGNT” resource appears. We can click on that and the “A Pocket Lexicon to the Greek New Testament” will open. If we click on the Search: “All Resources”, then all the iteration in the entire library will open in another window for us to peruse. Explore all the superscritpts.
Some possible entries for our Workflow could be:
Author: Paul and Timothy
Servants->GK doulos
Saints is used by Paul in his salutations in 2 Cor 1:1 and Col
1:2.
The recipients of the letter are the members of the church at

Deacons can be rendered as servants or ministers->GK diakonoi
