Looking for Hebrew H193 ʼûwl? It has the same number in Strong's Hebrew lexicon but is a different word, not a translation of G193. Strong's numbering starts again for each language.

akratḗs appears once in Scripture, in 2 Timothy 3:3. In the Doxa app, open that verse, keep your notes on it, and ask Doxa Engage how it connects to what God has said to you.
