Today’s post is from Morris Proctor, certified and authorized trainer for Logos Bible Software. Morris, who has trained thousands of Logos users at his two-day Camp Logos seminars, provides many training materials.
At a recent Camp Logos, an attendee asked me this question during a break: “I’m doing a study of the ‘one another’s in Paul’s letters. How can I easily find all the verses with this phrase along with the admonitions preceding them like, love, encourage, and so on?”
Even though there are several ways to accomplish the goal, I tried to keep it simple, so here’s what I told him:
- Open the Search panel by click the magnifying glass icon in the upper left of the program (A)
- Select Bible as the search type (B)
- Select Pauline Epistles from the verse-range drop down list (C)
- Select the Bible(s) to search from the drop down list (D)
- Place within double quotes the phrase one another in the Find box: “one another” (E)
- Press the Enter key to generate the search results (F)
- Select Analysis as the view with which to display the results (G)
- Notice Logos creates a spreadsheet with the results (H)
- Right click on any column header (I)
- Select at least Reference and Previous Context from the menu (J)
- Click the column header Reference to display the results in canonical order (K)
- Drag the column header Previous Context to the blank area at the top of the spreadsheet (Mac user: hold down the Option key as you drag the header) (L)
- Notice Logos groups the results according to the Previous Context appearing before the phrase one another (M)
- Right click on an arrow to the left of any search result (N)
- Select Collapse all (O)
You can now easily see all the admonitions appearing before the phrase one another such as: (P)
- Greet
- Encourage
- Be kind to
- Love
- etc.
Have fun with this Analysis view. You can arrange the results most any way you like to easily dig deep into the Word!
