Definition and Usage:
The term "doth" is an archaic English word that is equivalent to the modern word "does." It is commonly found in older translations of the Bible, such as the King James Version (KJV), and is used to denote the third person singular present tense of the verb "do." In contemporary translations like the Berean Standard Bible , "doth" is typically rendered as "does."

Biblical Context:
"Doth" appears in various contexts throughout the Bible, often in passages that discuss the actions and attributes of God, human behavior, and moral teachings. It is used to convey actions that are ongoing or habitual.

Examples in Scripture:
While the Berean Standard Bible does not use the term "doth," understanding its usage in older translations can provide insight into the text's meaning. Here are some examples where "doth" might appear in older translations, with equivalent passages from the BSB:

1. Psalm 1:3 : "He is like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does."
· In older translations, "does" might be rendered as "doth."

2. Proverbs 3:12 : "For the LORD disciplines the one He loves, as a father the son in whom he delights."
· The phrase "the LORD disciplines" could be expressed as "the LORD doth discipline" in older versions.

3. John 3:16 : "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."
· The action of God giving His Son is a demonstration of what He "doth" in terms of love and salvation.

Theological Implications:
The use of "doth" in biblical language emphasizes the continuous and active nature of God's work and human response. It highlights the ongoing relationship between God and His creation, underscoring the constancy of divine love, justice, and mercy. In moral teachings, "doth" can emphasize the habitual nature of righteous living or sinful behavior, calling believers to reflect on their actions and align them with God's will.

Historical and Literary Significance:
The use of "doth" in the King James Version and other early English translations reflects the linguistic style of the time. Understanding these archaic terms can enhance one's appreciation of the Bible's literary beauty and historical context. It also aids in comprehending the evolution of the English language and its impact on biblical interpretation.

Conclusion:
While "doth" is not used in modern translations like the BSB, its presence in older versions serves as a reminder of the Bible's rich linguistic heritage. It invites readers to explore the depth of biblical teachings and the enduring relevance of Scripture in guiding faith and practice.(3d pers. sing. pres.) of Do.2139. euperistatos -- easily encircling
