if. App-118.
writings. Greek. Plural of gramma = letters, used of written characters, or of a document. For the former, see Luk_23:38. 2Co_3:7; or the letter of Scripture contrasted with its spirit (Rom_2:27, Rom_2:29; Rom_7:6. 2Co_3:6). For the latter see Luk_16:6, Luk_16:7 (where it is a debtor's account), and Act_28:21 (where it is an ordinary letter). in Joh_7:15 and Act_26:24, it is used for learning (compare Isa_29:11, Isa_29:12. Act_4:13). In 2Ti_3:15 it is used for the sacred writings as a whole. Hence the Scribes were called grammateis.
words. Greek. rhema (plural) See note on Mar_9:32.
