NOTE:  This reading has been recorded ONCE, for listening, agreeing, and memorizing.  

   

This short episode is a reading of New Testament verses containing the Greek words "κράτος" (krat'-os) and "ἰσχύς" (is-khoos'). 

Though each of these two words occurs hundreds of times in the Old Testament, there are but a handful of occurrences in the NT. 

 

"κράτος", by meaning and in translation, indicates variously: 

1. force, strength 

2. power, might: mighty with great power 

3. a mighty deed, a work of power 

4. dominion

 

"ἰσχύς", by meaning and in translation, indicates variously: 

1. ability

2. force

3. strength

4. might

 

This episode is one of a series of broadcasts which focus exclusively on presenting scripture by centering around the uses of specific terms. It is our hope that this presentation will broaden our listeners' exposure to pervasive Biblical themes, and in addition provide a vehicle for memorizing important scriptures. 

Greek is useful as the language of choice for collating the scriptures in question, since certain primary sources of both Old and New Testaments are available in Greek, whereas the same cannot properly be said of Hebrew. 

Not ALL of the verses containing these words have been included here. The following considerations have been made in choosing verses:

1. Only passages containing the GREEK words "κράτος" and "ἰσχύς" have been included. This means that there may be passages in the ENGLISH translations which use such words as "power" or "might", but which are in fact based upon other Greek terms, and so are not included. 

2. There are several verses in the Bible where both of these two terms are used. Each such verse has been recorded only once. 

3. Some verses have been omitted due to contextual considerations. 

 

Translations have mainly been drawn from the KJV, NASB, ASV, and ESV.
