    How would I search for all the greek imperatives in the NT?
    1. Do a morph search. In the search box, type the @ symbol to open a dropdown menu, then select the part of speech, followed by the other criteria you want, then click Search to get your results. In this case, the search box will then fill in your selection as morph.g:V??M, which you could manually type in if you know it. Here is a link where I have performed this search for you: https://app.logos.com/search?case=ignore&form=all&kind=morph&q=morph.g%3AV%3F%3FM&ref=default&resourceIds=LLS%3ASBLGNT&resources=custom&source=searchPanel&syntax=v2&view=passages

  • how do you get text translated from greek or hebrew into different languages?
    1. You would probably need a Greek or Hebrew Interlinear Bible in that particular language. The translate tool in Logos is for modern languages, not translating Biblical texts.

  • Is there a "Find" feature one can use in Sermon Builder to find a word or phrase ? Is there a "Select" or "Select All" feature available in Sermon Builder?
    1. Is CTRL-A (CMND-A) or CTRL-F (CMND-F) nor working for you? They seem to work for me.

  • There is absolutely NO works from George Florovsky here in logos?

    1. There are a few, even if he is not named the author. https://ref.ly/logosres/ptrstcwtflrvsky?art=title, shop-link https://www.logos.com/product/184133/the-patristic-witness-of-georges-florovsky-essential-theological-writings?queryId=1534fb3ac0e3ebd15be87f98c7b5b621 , is an edited work of his major writings - and another such work is gathering interest: https://www.logos.com/product/214471/the-living-christ-the-theological-legacy-of-georges-florovsky?queryId=b4ede78d65737c5dcfb5ae3224c7bcce . There are two articles by him in https://ref.ly/logosres/eastorthotheo?ref=Page.p+3 I think that https://www.logos.com/product/184133/the-patristic-witness-of-georges-florovsky-essential-theological-writings would be your best choice.
      The Patristic Witness of Georges Florovsky: Essential Theological Writings
      Georges Florovsky (1893-1979) was one of the most prominent Orthodox theologians and ecumenists of the twentieth century. His call for a return to patristic writings as a source of modern theological reflection had a powerful impact not only on Orthodox theology in the second half of the twentieth century, but on Christian theology in general. Florovsky was also a major Orthodox voice in the ecumenical movement for four decades and he is one of the founders of the World Council of Churches.

  • Doing a simple phrase search like I have done for years using "multiword phrase" and searching entire bible. I'm in Hosea 10.8 and curious to know first and all times "fall on us" is used. It only gives me one hit and that one is in Judges 8.21. Everything is set up correctly,ie, Top English Bibles; verses; all passages. Has Logos crippled the search features for non subscribers or is this a glitch? Any others experience this?
    2. I hope it helps. I was getting quite a few hits with those settings.

    3. thanks, Kevin. It was indeed, the match casing. Just looking at the icon, I cannot tell if it is active, but clicking it will cycle to that search result. They must have changed the gui on this, because I became aware of this problem years ago. I think it previously worked by selecting before the search with a check mark. Selecting it before the search, now, does not have any visible changes, but clicking it after the search changes the search result.
    4. Understood. On mine, there is a very slight color change to the background of the toggle switch, but it's very slight and hard to detect for sure which is on or off.

    1. I'd like to search for instances of the same verb used twice in two different forms in same the sentence. (For example, James uses αἰτέω in both the active and middle voices in Jm 4:3.) Is it possible to do a morph search like "morph.g:V?A NEAR morph.g:V?M" but limit the results to cases where it's the same verb being repeated rather than two different verbs? Or is there a better tool for this kind of search?

      1. Is there a way to search my entire logos book collection ( Purchased and Personal Books) for duplicates. These can occur under the following: If a personal book is later replaced by a purchased resource, a duplicate results. If two personal books are created with a slightly different author such as an initial, a implied or likely duplicate results. If an e-book is purchased and subsequently a full research version is created by Logos and purchased, a likely duplicate results. It seems some things could be done using a book search, some maybe on the library books themselves (from the library icon. As a library grows the probability of these grows as well. Any thoughts or "cut and paste" syntax is appreciated.
        1. One idea to try is to open your Library, display as Details View, and then you can sort by title, author, series, etc. and scroll down through to find any duplicates.

        2. Thanks for the suggestion. It will just take time. I was hoping there was a nifty little way to have the software do this.

      2. I must say that I am a little disappointed with All search (AI) because the results are often poor and at least inferior to those I get from Chat GPT. For example, to the question: "Who are the "we," "you," and "they" in 1 John?", the smart search response was: In 1 John, the pronouns "we," "you," and "they" refer to different groups within the early Christian community. "We" likely refers to the apostles or church leaders, including the author[1]. "You" is addressed to the recipients of the letter, presumably members of the early Christian church[1]. "They" appears to refer to those outside the Christian community or those who have left it, possibly false teachers or opponents of the author's teachings[1]. However, it's important to note that the provided articles do not specifically discuss 1 John or these pronouns in detail, so this interpretation is limited and may not fully address the complexities of the epistle's use of these terms. [1] CALVINO, J., Institución de la religión Cristiana (Bellingham, WA 2020) I–III. Chat GPT's response is as follows: In the Epistle of **1 John**, the terms "we," "you," and "they" serve specific roles in the author's communication. These pronouns help identify different groups or audiences addressed or referred to in the text, contributing to its theological and pastoral purpose. ### 1. **"We"** - **Who it refers to**: "We" generally refers to the apostolic community, including the author himself (traditionally understood as the Apostle John) and those who are faithful witnesses to Christ. It emphasizes a shared experience of knowing Christ, the Incarnate Word, and the authoritative testimony of those who have seen, heard, and touched Him (1 John 1:1–3). - **Purpose**: The use of "we" highlights the unity and shared fellowship of the apostolic community with God and Christ. It also lends credibility to the message being shared, as it comes from eyewitnesses of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. - **Example**: - *"This is the message we have heard from Him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all" (1 John 1:5).* ### 2. **"You"** - **Who it refers to**: "You" refers to the audience of the letter—the recipients, likely a group of believers or Christian communities facing doctrinal confusion and division caused by false teachings. - **Purpose**: The use of "you" personalizes the message, urging readers to hold fast to the truth, abide in love, and remain in fellowship with God. It reinforces the pastoral nature of the letter, as the author seeks to reassure and guide them in their faith. - **Example**: - *"I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin" (1 John 2:1).* ### 3. **"They"** - **Who it refers to**: "They" typically refers to the false teachers and those who have separated from the Christian community, often identified with the early Gnostic or proto-Gnostic heresies. These individuals deny key doctrines about Jesus, such as His incarnation and divinity. - **Purpose**: The contrast between "they" and "you/we" highlights the division between true believers and those who oppose the truth of the gospel. This distinction serves to warn the recipients against the influence of such deceivers. - **Example**: - *"They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us" (1 John 2:19).* ### Summary - **"We"**: The apostolic community bearing authoritative witness. - **"You"**: The faithful believers being addressed. - **"They"**: False teachers and those who reject or distort the truth. This careful delineation helps the epistle emphasize its core messages: fellowship with God, the love of God expressed in Christ, and the distinction between truth and error.

      3. Can Logos do a Clause search that specifies the ORDER of subject and predicate? In addition, I see that you can specify a verb, but how would one specify a search for a verb-less clause?
