Bible Study Tip #12
#12: The Holy Spirit will not do grammar for you. Sure, the Holy Spirit will guide you as you read the Bible, but we need to do our own due diligence when it comes to noticing grammatical cues. For example: Read Psalm 23 and highlight the personal pronouns. Notice in verse 4 David shifts from talking about God to talking to God. Why do you think he did that? Check the chart below if you need grammatical help:
Personal Pronoun
Singular (1)
Plural (2 or more)
First Person (speaking about oneself)
I, me
we, us
Second Person (speaking to the reader or listener)
you
you (ya’ll)
Third Person (speaking about someone or something else)
she, her, he, him, it
they, them
