7. An Evaluation of Biblical Terms:
a. These terms show the character of the evangelism that the Bible speaks of.
b. The breadth and depth of the evangelism commanded by God’s Word is also clarified.
c. These terms show the style and types of evangelism intended in these biblical passages.
1) “Showing” is not one of the terms used [except KJV’s equivocal “shewing” as a translation
of euvaggeli,zw] (e.g. “Showing the Love of Christ”), with the exception of an equivocal
translation of fanero,w (see above).
2) Nor does the concept of marture,w express a non-verbal “witness”.
3) Nor is a non-verbal “lifestyle” a replacement for verbal evangelism, as is often ascribed to
la,mpw in Matt 5:16 and in the noun avnastrofh.n (KJV, conversation; NAS, behavior) in 1
Pet 2:12 (see above)
