  1. Thanks for another great episode! I offer one humble piece of advice to the listeners: carefully and slowly read good books so you learn the workings behind good grammar, usage, and style. Be curious about why good writers use certain words.

    I encourage everyone to read his Bible this way. Why does John 14:8 say, “my Father is greater than I”? If you study this question, you will learn the difference between the subjective case and objective case. Why does John 8:24 say, “I am he” instead of “I am him”? But why does Isaiah 6:5 say, “Woe is me”? Finding the answers to these questions will help one to be a more informed and careful writer.

    The reputable Bible translations almost use exemplary grammar.

    • I have some corrections.

      Instead of John 14:8, it should correctly be John 14:28.

      And this sentence had an error: “The reputable Bible translations almost use exemplary grammar.”

      It should correctly say: “The reputable Bible translations almost always use exemplary grammar.”
