Elements of the Language Bible Boot Camp Day 2, Session 2 & 3
3 Stages... Stage 1: Parts of Speech Stage 2: Phrase Types Stage 3: Literary Components ...KJV Word Trivia Game? Elements of Language Assignment
Set Up: Some Facts • English is said to be one of the top 5 most difficult languages to learn • 10 Hours x 48 Days...480 Hours for fluency • You already have years of experience • Language has changed, but the elements are the same
Stage 1: Parts of Speech Noun/subject- A person, place or thing (the thing that does something) Verb/predicate- The action word (what is happening to the thing)
Examples Psalm 38:7 “For myloins (noun/subject) are filled (verb/predicate) with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.” Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God (noun/subject) created (verb/predicate) the heaven and the earth.” Romans 10:10 “For with the heart man (noun/subject) believeth (verb/predicate) unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession (noun/subject) is made (verb/predicate) unto salvation.”
Parts of Speech (cont’d) Adjective- Describes a noun (describes the thing) Adverb- Describes a verb or an adjective (tells how the action is being done)
Examples Psalm 38:7 “For my loins are filled with a loathsome (adjective) disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.” 2 Peter 1:4 “Whereby are given unto us exceeding (adverb) great (adjective) and precious (adjective) promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine (adjective) nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” Galatians 4:17 “They zealously (adverb) affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them.”
Stage 2: Phrase Types Dependent Clause- A phrase that can’t stand by itself as a sentence (incomplete thought) Independent Clause- A phrase or statement that can stand by itself as a sentence (complete thought)
Examples 1 Timothy 6:20 “O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust (independent clause), avoiding profane and vain babblings (dependent clause), and oppositions of science falsely so called…” 1 Corinthians 4:15 “For though ye have ten instructors in Christ (dependent clause), yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel (independent clause).”
Stage 2: Phrase Types- Punctuation Rules Commas- Use to separate clauses, phrases, and items in a list Semicolons- Use to separate independent clauses (complete thoughts), or to end a series of commas Colons- Use to present something/explain a thought Periods- Use to end your independent clause
Break Down Paul’s Writings...Oh dear... Philemon 1:4-6 “I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, hearing of thy love and faith,which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; that the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.” Explain the different punctuation marks.
Stage 3: Literary Components • Author • Audience • Plot • Setting • Theme
Author Who is writing the specific book of the Bible you are reading? • 2 Peter 1:21 “For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” • The men and women of the Bible are important; they aren’t chosen at random • Knowing who wrote the book that you are reading gives you context (i.e. Paul, Peter, Moses)
Audience Who is the book written to? • 1 Corinthians 10:32 “Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God…” • It isn’t all written to you, but it is written for you • If it isn’t written to you, make sure you aren’t stealing promises
Plot What is actually happening in the book? • Three Applications of Scriptures *Come back tomorrow ;) • Taking the Bible literally, not figuratively or fictionally: what the Bible says happened did in fact happen. • The plot of the Bible is completely laid out for us from creation to eternity future. We have the exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution all within Genesis and Revelation.
Setting When and where is the book that you are reading written? • Where was Paul when he wrote the Book of Philippians? • What is the theme of Philippians? • How does that impact someone reading through Philippians?
Theme What is the lesson or overarching idea that you learn from the book? • 1 Corinthians: “Know ye not” appears 8X 16 chapters...that’s once every other chapter • Paul is rebuking the Corinthians • Philippians: “joy” appears 6X in only 4 chapters • Paul is exhorting the Philippians to have joy • 1 John: “love” appears 33X!!!! in 5 chapters • That’s pretty obvious...
Purpose: Why Did We Just Learn English? • Understanding: A lot of verses in the Bible can be filled with commas and other punctuation marks that we don’t use in our own writing, but understanding them is critical. • Strategy: Our English classes are moving away from teaching the mechanics of the language and more toward social justice...code for “justice of the people”- Laodicea… • Preparation: Knowing the language of the Bible is knowing the intricacies of your sword. A good soldier knows how to use his equipment.
