I do hope this is the right place for my question; please forgive me if it is not and feel free to 'move' it if that is possible!

In the latest Accordance Quicktip- Instant Details how would I find in which version of the Bible is "endurance" used in Hebrews 12:1?

Thank you>

[Joel Brown]

I'd run a Search All, with your group set to All Texts, and the search string set to:
endurance <AND> [RANGE Hebrews 12:1]

Edit: In my search, I get hits in a variety of translations, including HCSB, ESV, NAS85, NLT, NKJV, and others.

Hi Kevin (and Joel)
Joel, you just beat me to it. My one additional step, which may help in some other cases where you don't have a scripture reference, would be to add a user group of your selected English Bibles and run the search all in that.

It means that if you are looking for "that pesky verse in some version or other that has "patience" and "endurance" in it, you won't get hits from LXX or Pseudepigrapha or Philo.

[Kevin Soars]

Thank you Joel (I certainly would not have figured that out!) and within 10 minutes of the question! Extraordinary!

Kevin.

[Kevin Soars]

And thank you Ken for the extra information. And only a few minutes behind Joel; maybe that is because the US is closer to Austria than Australia!!!!

Kevin.

Actually, Joel, I have just realised that I don't understand the process! I am obviously doing something wrong and would be grateful of further help. I am going to try to include here a picture of what I have:

(Well the picture seems to have worked!) Does it help you to help me?

Sorry, my trying to add a picture of my search window does not seem to have worked after all. It is now 11:08 pm here. I shall try again tomorrow.

[Kevin Soars]

I took a picture of my search window with Grab but when I tried to copy it into a reply I ended up with "webkit-fake-url://BD3F4321-F9F5-4B0F-A7FA-CED0388CDC13/image.tiff" as above! As I said, I shall try agin tomorrow!

You can't paste screenshots into the reply, you need to save the screenshot to your computer, then attach it to the post specifically. Sorry the copy/paste doesn't work directly, but thats just a limitation of the forums.

From the "File" menu (top, first option to the right of "Accordance"); hover over "New" (first option); a pop-up of options appears. The last one is "Search All." Click it and the Search all window will open (in my case a new zone). Then paste Joel's search string. I found 12 English Bibles with endurance in Heb 12:1.

Hi Kevin and Michael,

You can also use the search all entry box in the top right hand corner of the workspace, and select the group from the drop down in that entry box.

it then opens a new search all zone and does the search for you.

However, now I have lost the ability to upload a picture to the post so I cant show you my screenshot! The buttons just aren't there (Joel - anything changed?)

Yes - Australia is closer to Austria - didn't you know there's only a (sic) l difference! I was behind because Joel is a computer head and is awake till crazy hours with Pizza and Coke.

Update: I do have the attach file button on the other fora just not this one.. The more reply options button isn't here, and the "Use Full Editor" button still doesn't give me the attach files area. This forum may have file attachments disabled...

I've split off this topic for clarity, and to allow post attachments!

[Ken Simpson]

Now that Joel has kindly split off the topic...
here is my screencap

Thank you Joel, Ken and Michael, now I have it!

Here I hope is a picture of my search window; I do hope it opens! You will see why I did not get any results - I did not know why until I received your help.

No, I still do not have (or do not know how to send) a 'picture' like the one that Ken has included. I wish I could show you and then you will see where I was going wrong.

Thanks,

Kevin.

Kevin - You may find that the easiest way to get a screen shot is shift-cmd-3 to get the whole screen, or shift-cmd-4 to define just the portion that you want to capture. The shots show up on your desktop where they're easy to find for attaching and easily discarded afterward.

Julie

[Kevin Soars]

Thank you, Julie. I have taken a screen shot and placed it in my desktop as mentioned by Joel. But how do I get it from my desktop into this post?

Kevin.

[David Lang]

Just wanted to let you all know that this discussion inspired today's post to the Accordance blog.

Look for a Word in a Verse in Any Bible

[Kevin Soars]

Well David I am delighted to know that, not only has my lack of expertise here has not only brought forth the usual kindness and patience of other members, but I have actually inspired your blog today! You have inspired me to keep asking!

Thanks to all,

Kevin.

[Kevin Soars]

Ken,

I am so grateful for this 'quick' tutorial. (I cannot imagine how long it must have taken!) So, here goes; if I can follow your instructions I am hoping to show why I could not get the answer to my original question.

Now, in fear and trepidation (!), but with a little prayer I am going to add reply and see what happens.
