Looking for Hebrew H1986 hâlam? It has the same number in Strong's Hebrew lexicon but is a different word, not a translation of G1986. Strong's numbering starts again for each language.
epispáomai appears once in Scripture, in 1 Corinthians 7:18. 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.
