How Word Study works
Behind every English word in the Bible stands a Hebrew or Greek original with its own shades of meaning. Look up a word or a Strong's number to see the lemma, its root sense and how it is used from Genesis to Revelation. That helps you notice when one English word covers several originals.

- Peace with God · Romans 5:1
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
