"Therefore" means, "Because of what was previously stated..."

Devi Benhasenn, in Greek "therefore" is most often οὖν or διό. See here: https://app.logos.com/guides/word?reference=therefore https://app.logos.com/guides/word?rawReference=lemma.lbs.el.%CE%BF%E1%BD%96%CE%BD&reference=%CE%BF%E1%BD%96%CE%BD https://app.logos.com/guides/word?rawReference=lemma.lbs.el.%CE%B4%CE%B9%CF%8C&reference=%CE%B4%CE%B9%CF%8C Both are inferential conjunctions that draw conclusions from what preceded. They're often translated "so," "therefore," "wherefore," "consequently," "accordingly," "then," "for this reason." I'm not sure who came up with it, but I remember a teacher making the memorable statement when I was younger, "Whenever you see the word 'therefore,' you should stop and ask what it's there for." In other words, it's signaling a connection between the reason that preceded with the conclusion that follows from it. Romans 12:1 is a great illustration of this. Paul spends the first 11 chapters laying out the theology of the gospel, and then he transitions to how that theology should work itself out in how we live. "Therefore" captures this connection: what we believe will impact how we behave. I hope this helps.

Thank you very much. I wanted to give the group I’m teaching a better explanation than I had. This is very helpful.

Well, I thought I was. First, it is 1 Sam 28, not 23, and it was 'god' and 'God', not lord and Lord...senior moment. But I am sure elohim was used for both.

Got it. Thanks for clarifying. There are places where Adonai = "God" instead of "Lord" since Yahweh Adonai would be translated as "Lord Lord," which doesn't work so well in English. So instead it ends up being "Lord God" or "Sovereign Lord," depending on your version.

the use of LORD is to indicate the vowel pointing used by the Masoretes when writing the Divine Name. originally it was just the tetragtammaton but for public reading the Masoretes would either add to the Divine Name the vowel pointing of Adonai (Lord) or the vowel pointing of Elohim (God).

Which one are you downloading and do you have the resources it is making use of?

Luke 7:11-17

Hello! I would use a Morph Search. If you type the symbol @ in the search box, a dialogue box will drop down to select the grammatical parameters you need.

The Lexham Syntactic Greek New Testament provides syntactic force information for adjectives.

Thank you all for your helps

Hi, Erick! If I understand correctly what you are wanting to do, you have a few options. One easy way to begin a search is to right-click on a word in the text and open a search from there, then just change the information in the search bar to get the word you want to search for. You can also type something like h:chesed in the search bar, and a dropdown list of words should appear that you can select from for your search. Or if you know the actual word you want, you can type something like lemma.h:חֶ֫סֶד.2 in the search bar and wait for the results to appear. Does that help?
