High-Frequency Study Note

This is a high-frequency Greek Strong's entry with 1,022 indexed usages. High-frequency entries often include articles, particles, pronouns, prepositions, common verbs, or broad vocabulary. The safest study path is to use the definition as a starting point, then let the linked passages show how the word functions in grammar and context.

Study Angles

  • Do not build a doctrine from one gloss; high-frequency words change force with sentence structure.
  • Use the grouped book links to compare narrative, poetry, prophecy, Gospel, and epistle contexts where present.
  • Check nearby words in the reader because particles, pronouns, and prepositions often explain relationships between larger ideas.
  • Visible English usage signals include great, lord, god, thee, and land, which helps scanning but does not replace the original-language entry.

Common Misreads to Avoid

  • Do not assume every occurrence should be translated with the same English word.
  • Do not ignore grammar; common words often carry meaning by connecting clauses, people, and actions.
