Watson Radix
A word-study app for the original languages of the Bible. Start with a single word in a verse and trace how it’s used across the same chapter, the same book, the same author, the same Testament, and the whole of Scripture. All to help you deepen your love for God’s Word.
What it is
A word study in the original languages, from a single verse.
Choose a word in a verse. Radix finds the Hebrew or Greek word behind it and traces where else it appears, with its transliteration and meaning, so you never need to read the alphabet.
The edge
Depth that used to take a lexicon, a concordance, and an afternoon.
Every occurrence of the word, from the verse out to the whole of Scripture, the Septuagint's bridge between the Testaments, and prose that explains what the pattern means.
Who it is for
Anyone who wants to read Scripture more closely.
Pastors, students, and readers who want more than an English translation can show. No Hebrew or Greek required.
A real study
John 3:16 love
The Greek verb ἀγαπάω (agapaō, "to love") carries 110 occurrences in the New Testament in this sense, denoting active, purposeful love, the kind that chooses its object and commits to it regardless of what it costs. Its Hebrew counterpart across the Old Testament is אָהֵב (ahav, "to love"), which the Septuagint regularly renders with agapaō, so the two testaments share a continuous vocabulary of love. In John 3:16, the word describes God's love for the world as the direct cause of his giving his Son, a love measured by what it moved him to do.
The verseJohn 3:16
1 occurrenceThe single occurrence in John 3:16 is the verb's most load-bearing moment in the Gospel: God loved the world in such a way that he gave his only Son. The degree clause ("so loved") points not to intensity of feeling but to manner and consequence, the love is defined by what it produced, a gift of the Son for a perishing world.
