to wear out

Looking for Greek G1080 gennáō? It has the same number in Strong's Greek lexicon but is a different word, not a translation of H1080. Strong's numbering starts again for each language.

bᵉlâʼ appears once in Scripture, in Daniel 7:25. 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.
