This study includes the definitions of all Greek words translated as the word “truth,” and other related words, according to the King James Version to which Strong’s Concordance is keyed. All quotes are from the English Majority Text Version and are more accurate, for the most part, than the KJV. It has become apparent that there is no such thing as a perfect Bible translation.
Jesus came to bring truth to us, and as He said, He is the truth, the life and the way. He gave us the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth, and He is the one who will reveal truth in all the passages quoted herein. The Holy Spirit quickens the perfect meaning in spite of what man has said a passage means. My prayer is that the truth of the good news of Jesus Christ will come alive as you read through this study, allowing the message regarding truth to minister to you. Keep in mind the definition of each Greek word as you read how it was translated in the various passages. For each Greek word, the definition is in bold print, followed by the list of translated words according to the KJV.
