Fav words in the King James Bible

zeal (n.)—an earnest emotion that can be enlightened (2 Corinthians 7:11) but also misguided or arrogant, driving the will, as when Paul remembers his former life: “Concerning zeal, persecuting the church” (Philippians 3:6), or in Romans 10:2, “For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.”
