Bible Verse Breakdown

God gives different gifts to his children. And in Ephesians 4, we are clearly told that the purpose of the gifts he gives is to edify the body of Christ, the Church. What may seem easy to one member of the body, may be because it’s a gift given to that member. Others may struggle with that discipline. The goal of this space is to lay the foundation and help simplify the steps you can take to break down a verse in the bible and study it as it was intended to be received.

Tools For Studying His Word

You must start with your bible. I like to use the King James Version because I believe it's the truest english version to the original text as inspired by the Holy Spirit. This version isn't perfect, but seems to be the closest to the actual language translation.

Space

This doesn’t have to be anything fancy. It should be comfortable and spacious enough to have study materials spread out and handy. I find a kitchen or dining room table works just fine if an office isn’t available.

Hebrew / Greek Interlinear Bible

In the resources section at the back of this book, you will find the one that I use. It’s easily accessible through Christian bookstores and has become a critical part of my studies. This will give you the original language in which a verse was written. You will be able to see the literal original words in the language a scripture was written so that you can investigate the word meanings for yourself.

BibleHub.com

This is a free online resource that gives you access to the work that took Christian scholars years and years to complete. In short, because of their work to edify the body of Christ, we can tap in and learn more about the word of God.

Study Materials

Pen, paper, notebook, highlighters. You need something to write down what you are learning. People organize their thoughts in different ways and you will need to do this in a way that works for you.
