King James Version
9 Jun 2026
“And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.”
δίδωμι
To give, to grant, to bestow. Didomi. God so loved the world that He gave. Giving is the language of love. The greatest gift is always the giver themselves.
