Galatians 2:20

Last Update 07/25/2026…

Just working on repeated words and phrases in the Bible Repeated phrases in the Word of God speak of emphasis, finality, intensity and completion. Repetition… Repetition

The Lord focuses on 2 or 3 witnesses…

Just a note on the Hebrew words. I try to use the FWD and REV buttons in Blue Letter Bible to see what the word order is:

Fwd (Forward): Displays the original language words in their normal sequential word order as they were written in ancient Hebrew or Greek, showing how they flow naturally from left to right (or right to left for Hebrew), paired with the English translation underneath.

Rev (Reverse): Adjusts or re-orders the display of the original language data so that it matches up more intuitively with the word-for-word flow of the chosen English text version, helping you see which specific Hebrew or Greek word corresponds directly to a specific English word in your selected Bible version

There is also a word for this …
ploce

I’m sure there are more. I’ll add them as I stumble onto them…

Just a note, I originally started noticing just english words, but then I heard and/or read about Hebrew and Greek repeated words. I’ve included them also.
