1 " But while the story [of the Bible] is simple, it is also deep. There is always more to learn, to discover, and to enrich our understanding of who God is and what he is doing in the world. We study the Bible in depth in order to teach its story in all its richness. Greek is one tool of many that give us access to the richness of the Bible. Without it, our teaching may be sound, but it may also lack depth. In other words: Keep your Greek for the sake of others. "

2 " Loving God and living his way is the sure sign that believers will rightly love others. 7 This is because God is love, and our love comes from him, but it is also what we need from each other. We need to be encouraged by others’ love for God. Our love for him helps others to love him better. And so love for God is a key component in loving others. "
