Daniels Where there is more than one meaning for a word, the one that applies will be apparent by the context of the verse. It is common that words have more than one meaning, depending on the way they are used. No attempt is made here to provide every possible meaning, but rather to give the meaning that applies to its usage in the Scriptures. It takes only a single generation to make a word archaic ... and a single generation of Bible readers can bring it back into use. David W.

When Jesus spoke to Nicodemus, He said, “Marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born again” (John 3:7), What He said in effect was, “Marvel not that I said unto thee (Nicodemus), ye (all of you people) must be born again.” Jesus did not tell this only to Nicodemus. He spoke to all people of all times, from those who stood around that night, even to us today: Ye must be born again! eee ef (hee | ae i (yor)
