Concordance: "Gospel"

I'll be referring to this comprehensive list, I imagine, as I make future posts on the content of the gospel.

You might enjoy taking a look, as I am, on how the bible uses the word in scripture. Dr. Radmacher once said in class that the best way to do a word study was to take every instance of that word and read the context to see how it is used. I thought that was great because it's the method I've been using.

There are two variations of the word in Greek. The Strong's concordance's number/labels for "gospel:"

2097. euaggelizo. yoo-ang-ghel-id-zo; from 2095 and 32; to announce good news ("evangelize") espec. the gospel--declare, bring (declare, show) glad (good) tidings, preach (the gospel).

2098. euaggelion. yoo-ang-ghel-ee-on; from the same as 2097; a good message, i.e. the gospel:--gospel.
