NOTE:  This reading has been recorded ONCE, for listening, agreeing, and memorizing.  

 

It is hoped that this presentation will broaden our listeners' exposure to pervasive Biblical themes, and in addition provide a vehicle for memorizing important scriptures. 

The presentation of this episode is simple: a reading of the majority of New Testament verses containing the Greek word "κόσμος" ("kosmos").

 

"κόσμος", by meaning and in translation, indicates variously: 

1. the world, the universe 

2. the circle of the earth, the earth 

3. the inhabitants of the earth, the human family 

4. all men alienated from God, and therefore hostile to the cause of Christ 

5. world affairs, the aggregate of things earthly 

 

This episode is one of a series of broadcasts which focus exclusively on presenting scripture by centering around the uses of specific terms. Greek is useful as the language of choice for collating the scriptures in question, since certain primary sources of both Old and New Testaments are available in Greek, whereas the same cannot properly be said of Hebrew. 

Due to the source from which the verses were extracted, most of the verses are phrased according to the American Standard Version (ASV), or the Revised Version (RV). 

Some of the language has been slightly adjusted in order to make the context and meaning of each verse as intelligible as possible. Not ALL of the verses containing "κόσμος" have been included here, but the majority have.
