The term "particularly" is not directly found in the text of the Bible; however, the concept it conveys—emphasizing specific details or aspects of a broader subject—is present throughout Scripture. The Bible often highlights particular individuals, events, or teachings to convey deeper spiritual truths and principles.

Particular Individuals:

Throughout the Bible, God often chooses specific individuals to fulfill His purposes. For example, in Genesis 12:1-3, God calls Abram (later Abraham) out of all the people on earth to be the father of a great nation: "The LORD said to Abram, 'Go from your country, your people and your father's household to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.'" This particular calling of Abraham sets the stage for the unfolding of God's redemptive plan through Israel.

Similarly, in the New Testament, Jesus selects twelve apostles from among His disciples to be His closest followers and to carry on His mission after His ascension (Mark 3:13-19). This particular choice underscores the importance of these individuals in the early church and the spread of the Gospel.

Particular Events:

The Bible also emphasizes particular events that have significant theological implications. The Exodus, for instance, is a pivotal event in the Old Testament where God delivers the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. This event is recounted in detail in the book of Exodus and is frequently referenced throughout Scripture as a demonstration of God's power and faithfulness (Exodus 12:31-42).

In the New Testament, the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ are central events that hold particular importance for Christian faith. The Apostle Paul emphasizes this in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4: "For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures."

Particular Teachings:

The Bible contains specific teachings that are highlighted for their importance in guiding believers' lives. The Ten Commandments, given to Moses on Mount Sinai, are a particular set of laws that form the foundation of moral and ethical conduct in the Judeo-Christian tradition (Exodus 20:1-17).

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus provides particular teachings that define the character and behavior of His followers. For example, in Matthew 5:3-12, He presents the Beatitudes, which describe the blessedness of those who embody the values of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Particular Promises:

God's promises are often directed toward specific individuals or groups, yet they carry broader implications for all believers. In Jeremiah 29:11, God speaks a particular promise to the exiled Israelites: "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." While this promise was given to a specific group, it reflects God's character and His intentions for His people.

In the New Testament, Jesus makes a particular promise to His disciples in John 14:2-3: "In My Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and welcome you into My presence, so that you also may be where I am." This promise of eternal fellowship with Christ is a cornerstone of Christian hope.

In summary, while the word "particularly" may not appear in the biblical text, the concept is woven throughout Scripture as God highlights specific individuals, events, teachings, and promises to reveal His character and purposes.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
PARTICULAR, PARTICULARLY

pir-tik'-u-lar, par-tik'-u-lar-li: The adverbial phrase "in particular" occurs twice in the King James Version (1 Corinthians 12:27, ek merous, the Revised Version (British and American) "severally," the Revised Version margin "each in his part"; and Ephesians 5:33, hoi kath' hena, the Revised Version (British and American) "severally"); in both cases it has the obsolete meaning of "severally," "individually." The adverb "particularly" occurs in the same sense in Acts 21:19 the King James Version, kath' hen hekaston, the Revised Version (British and American) "one by one," and Hebrews 9:5 the King James Version, kata meros, the Revised Version (British and American) "severally." We have the plural noun in the sense of "details" in 2 Maccabees 2:30: "to be curious in particulars"; 11:20, (the King James Version "Of the particulars I have given order," the Revised Version (British and American) I have given order in detail); and the adjective "particular" in the sense of "special" in the first Prologue to Sirach (King James Version, Vulgate (Jerome's Latin Bible, 390-405 A.D.) peculiares; the whole section was omitted in the Revised Version (British and American)).
