A group for users of Logos Bible Software to discuss Labels.
Follow- , not that I can think of. Anything in particular you were hoping for?
- Hi, yes I was wondering why when I try to run my own query search on the mobile app, it does not work but I figured it out already with CS dept at faith life. Thanks for the follow up!

- Updated the notes document with the 333 NT exclamations. Try these: {Label Sentence WHERE Type = exclamation} {Label Sentence WHERE Type = exclamation} WITHIN {Speaker <Person Jesus>} {Label Sentence WHERE Type = exclamation} WITHIN {Speaker <Person Peter>}
- This has been replaced by the official sentence types dataset released with Logos 7. More details here: https://www.logos.com/speech-acts-nt
- I added a couple documents to the group: a highlighter palette and a note file for labeling sentences. They're experimental and incomplete. I didn't fill out all the metadata on all instances (not sold on the categories), but I did at minimum mark up all 1,000 questions in the NT. Try these searches in the ESV: {Label Sentence WHERE Type = question} {Label Sentence WHERE Type = question} WITHIN {Speaker <Person Jesus>} {Label Sentence WHERE Type = question} WITHIN {Milestone <Romans–Philemon>} Interesting to graph the results and see books or speakers who used a higher density of questions. Working on exclamations next. I added documentation to the beginning of the note file. Feedback welcomed.
- Fred, I shared both the highlighting palette (the thing you use to mark up the text) and the note document (the thing that stores the markup and gets searched). The highlighting palette gives you an example of how to build your own. You can also use it to apply the markup to other texts outside the NT. I think it's useful to share both. Some people want to do the work themselves or want help getting started with Labels; others want the fruit of others' work. I'd like to see us build out and share label highlighting palettes for things we use the label datatype for internally: sermons, journal articles, outlines, illustrations, etc. This will give people who want to experiment with labels a place to start without coming up with the idea and data structure themselves.
- I agree, if there were a range of labeling highlighting palettes available this would give people a nice example and head start.
- Regarding sharing the palettes you use internally - this is a great idea, and one I have been hoping for since the feature was announced. The great thing about doing this is it would allow the end user to see the type of configuration that Faithlife uses internally. If an end user wants to invest the time and energy to put together a demanding label system that could be shared or even published / sold, it is important they have the confidence that they are doing it right. If they can base their palette of the type of palettes you are using, they can have that confidence.
- I think it would be neat to have labels that point out those words in the book of Revelation that are grammatically incorrect. There are lots of them, and scholars debate about whether the author did it on purpose for theological reasons or just was awful at Greek. It would be helpful if we could see them highlighted or something. This would be kind of complicated to set up... I'm not sure what the best resource would be to get a list of them either.

- I'm working on labeling all the conditional sentences in the NT with a "class" of 1st–4th and a "part" of protasis or apodosis (following a structural, rather than semantic or pragmatic approach). I'll share the results soon. Any suggestions to make this data more useful? I thought about more nuanced categorization of each of the classes, but (1) in some cases this would duplicate existing morphological data and (2) in others doesn't seem standard enough to be worth it.
- I thought about that, but that complicates label search syntax. Right now it's {Label Condition WHERE Class = second AND Part = protasis}. I should probably shorten it to {Label Condition WHERE Class = 2 AND Part = protasis}. I think it would probably be better to put this in the note file as a documentation note.
- Sounds good. I was thinking of it more as the type of information that could appear as an extra field or something that would appear on hover, but maybe that isn't really feasible with the way labels work.
- Not in the NT so it doesn't enter into what you're working on... but I'm studying the Greek of Wisdom 11 right now, and it has two beautiful "if" statements I thought I'd share: Wisdom 11:24-26.
