Understanding What Was Said in II Corinthians<\/h1>\n

The Same Thing in Different Words<\/h2>\n

In many languages, and in English in particular, we like a variation in our words. We might repeat an idea, but we change the words slightly so we don’t sound like a broken record. In addition, every word has a basic meaning but it often includes subtle shades of additional meaning. By selecting which set of similar words we use in a discussion, we fine-tune exactly what we mean to get across.<\/p>\n

We also should be aware of when the antonyms of our keywords are being used. I suggest marking those with a red circle and slash around the icon for that keyword.<\/p>\n

Greek, like English, makes use of pronouns to refer back to who is being discussed. We need to identify the pronouns so we can better understand who is being talked about.<\/p>\n

Class Discussion<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. What words serve as pronouns? (I, he, she, they, us, them, those, it, who, this, these, you, your, our, my, mine, his, her)<\/li>\n
  2. Using the first chapter of II Corinthians, identify the pronouns.<\/li>\n
  3. Using the first chapter and your list of keywords, what synonyms and antonyms can you identify?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t

    Marking Synonyms and Antonyms in II Corinthians<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Read through the entire book of II Corinthians a third time and this time mark the synonyms keywords as you run across them.<\/li>\n
    2. Also, mark the antonyms by using the same symbol with a red slash through it.<\/li>\n
    3. When you find a pronoun, try to determine who is being referred to and mark the pronouns with the color for that person.<\/li>\n
    4. If you run into problems, jot down the reference and bring them to class.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPrior Lesson\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Corinthian Letters\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNext Lesson\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
