Is there a code to make a visual filter to show Gods pronouns, like when The Father, Son or Spirit is referred to as Him or He or His?

    I'm showing two search options below:

    • on the left searching for any times the words him, he or His relate to God
    • on the right searching for when any Greek pronoun relates to God

    (And you could do the same thing for the other persons of the Trinity)

    Would either of those give you what you want? If so, you could use those search strings in a visual filter definition

    IT don't seem to work as a visual filter unfortunately.

    Graham would certainly understand more than I do, but I can share the understanding that I do have. First, I believe that the tag "God" usually refers to God the Father. So to capture the trinity, the search would need to look more like this: morph.g:R INTERSECTS (person:God OR person:Jesus OR person:"Holy Spirit"). You can check who is tagged by right-clicking a word. In verse 16, for example, "You" is tagged as person:Jesus but not as person:God.

    Secondly, in the search that I just mentioned, it is searching the Greek, not the English. Therefore, the Greek would have to be tagged as a pronoun. This does not always overlap 1 to 1 with English pronouns. To remedy this, you could combine this Greek search with an English search that includes all English pronouns. The filters could have identical formatting, capturing the pronouns in both Greek and English.

    This works in NT and OT. Thanks.

    @James Johnson These visual filters are working for me. Note the error in the second filter in your screenshot (missing a space after R). Also note that visual filters can potentially interfere with one another if they overlap, making them difficult to identify.

    I got it to kinda work, my and Father in verse 17. but "He" in verse 15 does not work, nor does "Son", or "You" in verse 16
