Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In John, chapter 5, Jesus has healed on the Sabbath and claimed to be God's Son, making himself equal to God. In the process of explaining himself, Jesus says in John 5:31, "If I alone testify about Myself, My testimony is not _____." What word completes this verse?

Answer: True

According to Jewish law, for testimony to be established as true, two witnesses had to confirm it. Jesus was using the word "true" in this sense.
2. According to 1 Timothy 3:8, "Deacons likewise must be men of _______, not double-tongued, or addicted to much wine or fond of sordid gain..." What is the missing word?

Answer: Dignity

The word "dignity" is generally used to describe one's external bearing rather than one's substance. The Greek word that "dignity" translates in this verse is "semnos", which refers to a person who is honored for both their behavior and character. The New English Bible translates "semnos" as "of high principle".
3. Jewish religious leaders criticized Jesus for associating with "sinners". In Mark 2:17, Jesus responded to them saying, "It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the __________, but sinners." What is the missing word?

Answer: Righteous

What was done in the sight of men largely determined what was "right" for the scribes and Pharisees. The intent of Jesus' words could perhaps be translated as follows: "Those who believe themselves to be healthy will not come to a physician; I offer to heal those who are aware that they are sick with sin."
4. James 3:17 has this to say about wisdom: "But the wisdom from above is first _________, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy." Which word belongs in the blank?

Answer: Pure

The purity here described is of the moral variety. In James 3:13, the author has made it clear that the wisdom under discussion is the type that demonstrates itself in actions. (James 3:13 states: "Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.") One could conclude that these verses imply that wisdom is first recognizable through its purity.
5. 2 Peter 1: 5 states: "Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral ____________..." Which word completes this phrase?

Answer: Excellence

This verse implies that diligent application of faith is a source of excellent morals. A recurring theme in the New Testament is that focusing on spiritual issues results in behavioral excellence. Contra wise, concentrating on behavior directly, especially in the sense of trying to follow arbitrary rules, generally results in spiritual failure.
6. Paul provoked both positive and negative reactions from those to whom he ministered. 1Corinthians 4:5 says, "Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts; and then each man's ________ will come to him from God." What word should fill the blank?

Answer: Praise

It is well known that scripture enjoins the judgment of others in the negative, critical sense. In Corinth, some of the difficulties had arisen because rival factions maintained the superiority of their favorite leader. One reason we are not to judge is that we do not understand the "heart" of the person we presume to pass judgment upon.

This verse seems to imply that our ability to accurately "praise" another is subject to the same limitation.
7. Philippians chapter 4 discusses anxiety and gives advise on how to deal with it. Philippians 4:8 specifically addresses the issue of how we focus our thoughts. It states, "Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is _________, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise dwell on these things." What is the missing word?

Answer: Lovely

The answers of all the previous questions of this quiz are one of the six characteristics that Paul indicates we should dwell on. The Greek words translated "excellence" and "lovely" in this verse are found in no other verse of the Bible. (This is why there have been only six questions.)

The word translated "dwell" is the Greek "logizomai". It derives ultimately from the familiar "logos" that can mean both "word" and "idea". In this context "logizomai" could be translated as "mull over".
8. Earlier in Philippians chapter 4, Paul tells us what we should be anxious about. Philippians 4:6 states: "Be anxious for ______." What is the missing word?

Answer: Nothing

The word for anxiety derives from a word that means to divide. This verse might be translated, "Let no anxiety distract you."
9. Later in Philippians 4:6, Paul gives one alternative to feeling anxiety about one's cares. "...but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving __________________." Which phrase should be inserted?

Answer: Let your requests be made known to God.

When a child relates his or her cares to a trusted parent, secure in the love of that parent, it would be surprising if the child's anxiety were not lessened.
10. Philippians 4:7 indicates that following the advice regarding prayer in Philippians 4:6 will have the following result: "And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard __________ in Christ Jesus." Which phrase belongs in the blank?

Answer: Your hearts and your minds

The Greek word translated "guard" is more literally "see in front of". The emphasis is on vigilant surveillance.
