This study reads Scripture in the Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) alongside the original Hebrew and Greek. The LSB is a literal English translation in the NASB tradition, distinctive especially for restoring the divine name Yahweh where the Hebrew text reads YHWH, preserving doulos as “slave” rather than softening to “servant,” and rendering disputed phrases (obedience of faith, pistis Christou) with their original ambiguity intact. The study pairs each English passage with the underlying Greek (or Hebrew), word-by-word breakdowns of key terms, grammar and argument notes, OT-NT connections, and the LSB-specific translation choices worth pausing on.
Each chapter is its own page with tabbed sections grouped by the author’s logical units. Gold-underlined words in the text are clickable — they jump to the matching Key Words entry below, which glows briefly so you can find your landing. Select any text to highlight it or add a private note; the floating ✎ button at the lower right opens your notes panel. Highlights and notes are saved in your browser, per chapter.
Authorship attributions follow scholarly convention: traditional where the church has spoken with one voice (Paul, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John); transparent where the matter is disputed (Hebrews is shown as Author Unknown, the Psalms as David and others). The aim is honest scholarship, not pretended certainty.
Typology threads tying Old Testament seeds to their flowering in Christ — from the serpent-crusher of Genesis 3:15 to the tabernacle that became flesh in John 1:14. Each thread is shown in four stages: OT seed, the linguistic thread (Hebrew root, LXX vocabulary), NT fulfillment, and why it matters. The LSB’s literal rendering of Yahweh and other Hebrew-OT vocabulary makes the linguistic seams visible across both testaments.
Open Threads →A bidirectional index of every Old Testament reference cited across the entire study — organized by OT book and chapter, with links forward to where the reference is discussed and back to the original passage. Use it to trace a single Hebrew verse through every place it surfaces in apostolic teaching, or to see at a glance which OT books shape any given New Testament chapter.
