| “Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.” (1 Timothy 4:3) |

I used to think it meant to read books, but I believe it means to be diligent. | Correct |

I used to think it meant to stop, but when I watched Mark Ward’s video I learned it means to limp. | Correct |
| “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.” (1 Corinthians 15:19) |
I don’t know. I could cheat and look at the footnote and say pitiable. I would have thought just miserable. | I don’t know |
| “Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.” (Proverbs 22:28) |
It sounds like you would move it from one place to another, or take it down. I would say to take away. | Incorrect |
| “Therefore now, Lord God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me.” (1 Kings 8:25) |
I would understand it the way you normally would, like “in order that”. | Incorrect |
| “Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.” (Philippians 4:15) |
I would understand that as talking with him about the gifts, or that they shared with him the gifts. | Unclear |

I would have understood it as “later on”, but it’s immediately. | Correct |
| “These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.” (John 16:1) |
I know it doesn’t mean what we would think it means. He doesn’t want them to be caught up by what he was saying. It’s not that he doesn’t want them to be insulted, it’s that he doesn’t want them to be tripped up by it. | Correct |
| Totals | Correct: 6 Incorrect: 2 |
