Studieth

Topical Encyclopedia
The term "studieth" is an archaic form of the verb "study," which appears in various translations of the Bible, particularly in older versions such as the King James Version (KJV). In the context of the Bible, "studieth" refers to the act of diligently examining, contemplating, or giving careful attention to the Scriptures or other matters of wisdom and understanding.

Biblical Context and Usage:

1. Proverbs 15:28 : "The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked blurts out evil." While the Berean Standard Bible uses "ponders," older translations might use "studieth" to convey the idea of careful consideration and thoughtful response. This verse highlights the virtue of deliberation and wisdom in communication, contrasting it with the impulsive and harmful speech of the wicked.

2. Ecclesiastes 12:12 : "But beyond these, my son, be warned: there is no end to the making of many books, and much study wearies the body." Although the Berean Standard Bible uses "study," the concept of "studieth" is implicit in the pursuit of knowledge and understanding. This verse serves as a caution against excessive devotion to human wisdom at the expense of spiritual truths.

3. 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV): "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." While the Berean Standard Bible translates this as "Make every effort to present yourself approved to God," the KJV's use of "study" emphasizes the importance of diligent effort in understanding and applying God's Word. This passage underscores the responsibility of believers to engage deeply with Scripture to accurately teach and live out its truths.

Theological Implications:

The concept of "studieth" in the Bible is closely associated with the pursuit of wisdom, understanding, and spiritual growth. It reflects a commitment to seeking God's truth and applying it to one's life. The act of studying is not merely an intellectual exercise but a spiritual discipline that involves the heart and mind working in harmony to discern God's will.

Practical Application:

For believers, "studieth" encourages a lifestyle of continuous learning and reflection on God's Word. It calls for a disciplined approach to Scripture, where one seeks to understand its meaning, context, and application. This involves prayerful meditation, seeking guidance from the Holy Spirit, and engaging with the teachings of the Church.

In a broader sense, "studieth" can also apply to the pursuit of knowledge in various fields, always with the aim of glorifying God and serving others. It reminds Christians that all truth is God's truth and that the pursuit of knowledge should lead to greater love for God and neighbor.

Conclusion:

The concept of "studieth" in the Bible invites believers to a life of thoughtful engagement with Scripture and the world around them. It is a call to wisdom, discernment, and faithful living, rooted in a deep and abiding relationship with God.
