The Greek invents a curiosity: "As you’re reading through this verse, you wonder “Is there any significance to the use of the phrase ‘every word‘?” This is an example of the kind of question that may lead to a profitable word study." [1]
- God did not go to all the effort of constructing the mystery to placate your curiosity. [2] Until one learns to discern the voice of God from your own thoughts, mere curiosity can lead astray. [3]
God uses recapitulation to get attention. If a book fell off the shelf once, you think it a curiosity. If a series of books fall of the shelf in order, it is interpreted as design; there is intelligence behind the experience. When the Spirit has correlated a word for you in multiple pericopes, you know he is trying to get your attention.[4]
