06.5. Conclusion

6.5. Conclusion The small words discussed in this chapter play an important role in the understanding of the New Testament. Differences in interpreting the prepositions, for example, result in opposing theological views on the coming of the Lord Jesus or the purpose of baptism. This basic survey, however, did not go into that discussion. It is clear that even though these words are small, they play a major role in the interpretation of the text of the New Testament. Again, as with other parts of speech that we have seen so far, Robertson and Vincent make helpful comments on important passages.
