Acts 17:11

Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

The people in Berea were actually more open-minded than the ones in Thessalonica. When they heard Paul's message, they didn't just take his word for it — they were genuinely eager to learn and went home every day to check the scriptures themselves to see if what he was saying was actually true.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Real wisdom is being excited to learn but still doing your own research to make sure it checks out.
