Word of the Day: Scripture

The writings within the Holy Bible. Can mean all the writings, or a particular passage from the Bible. For example, "scripture tells us Jesus is God's only begotten son" refers to The Gospel of John, Chapter 3, verse 16; which states "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Sometimes, scripture is used to describe the Bible in its entirety. 

The word comes from the Latin word scriptura, meaning writings.
