Words of the Month (September 2022)

1. One of our words for September is the Greek καρπός ("fruit, crop, harvest"). The NT employs this noun both literally and figuratively: one of the most notable figurative examples is Galatians 5:22-23. But see also Ephesians 5:9; Hebrews 13:15; James 3:17-18. For places where the rendering "harvest" is preferred, see James 5:7, 18.

2. Paradigmatic (English)-"Paradigmatic refers to the relationship between a set of linguistic items that form mutually exclusive choices."

See https://www.qualityresearchinternational.com/socialresearch/paradigmatic.htm

Some examples for paradigmatic relationships might be raw/cooked, sacred/profane, spirit/flesh, hot/cold.
