Looking for Greek G3885 paralytikós? It has the same number in Strong's Greek lexicon but is a different word, not a translation of H3885. Strong's numbering starts again for each language.
lûwn appears 83 times in Scripture, including Genesis 19:2 and Exodus 16:2. In the Doxa app, open any verse that uses it, keep your notes on it, and ask Doxa Engage how it connects to what God has said to you.
