Bible Sense

Ed

Would you guys mind sharing examples where the Bible Sense Makes a big difference. Everyone uses the example of Kosmos but I would like to see some others. 

John 3:16  (Kosmos/World = Bible Sense world (people))

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 

 The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), Jn 3:16.If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

1 John 5:4 (Kosmos/world = Bible Sense world system)

4 For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. 

 The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), 1 Jn 5:4.

Re 13:8–16:14 (Kosmos/world = Bible Sense world creation)

8 and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain. 

 The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), Re 13:8–16:14.

"makes a big difference" is very subjective!  If you are doing word studies, I think that the Senses section of the Bible Word Study guide could make a difference to their meaning in different contexts (passages) as opposed to relying on the Lemma and Translation sections. The Translation of κόσμος in the ESV is "world", so the 4 "senses" of that word could make a difference to you.

However, is love (affection) as the sense for ἀγάπη (agape) better than the normal translation of "love"? If you type "love" into BWS it will show that it comes from many Greek words with many different senses

Some time ago I explored the different senses shown in the letters of John that make reference to truth

You might not agree with the tagging but it does raise some interesting questions!
