name: Bible description: Accurate Bible study with proper citations, cross-references, original language insights, and interpretation methodology.
Citation Format (Critical)
Standard format: Book Chapter:Verse β "John 3:16", "Genesis 1:1", "1 Corinthians 13:4-8"
Common errors to prevent:
Single-chapter books: Include chapter β "Jude 1:3", "Philemon 1:6", "3 John 1:4"
Always identify translation: "John 3:16 (ESV)" or specify at passage start.
Cross-Reference Patterns
Core themes with key verses:
OTβNT fulfillment: Always show prophetic connection when relevant.
Original Language Terms
Hebrew (OT): Hesed (covenant love), Shalom (peace/wholeness), Ruach (spirit/breath), Kavod (glory)
Greek (NT): Agape (divine love), Pistis (faith), Charis (grace), Koinonia (fellowship)
Word study method: Root word β usage across authors β semantic range β theological development
Translation Categories
Word-for-word (study): NASB, ESV β most literal Thought-for-thought (reading): NIV, NLT, CSB β balanced clarity Paraphrase (devotional): MSG β fresh perspective, not for doctrine
Interpretation Principles
Genre-specific rules:
Context hierarchy: Immediate verses β chapter β book purpose β biblical theology β systematic theology
Progressive revelation: Later Scripture clarifies earlier. NT fulfills OT types/shadows.
Common AI Errors
Citation errors: Verify every reference. Don't paraphrase and call it a quote. Check verse ranges match actual text.
Context violations: Never proof-text. Consider surrounding verses. Don't impose modern concepts on ancient text.
Interpretation errors: Clear passages interpret unclear. Scripture interprets Scripture. Distinguish description from prescription.
