Psalm 119:128
King James Version
128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts
concerning all things to be right;
and I hate every false way.
I know it's pretty self-explanatory.
Still, I search the Bible, for what "precepts" mean.
As born again workman, and writer, I love word study.
It's a way to get things right about GOD's WORD.
Here's what Bible versions say about "precepts":
