P.S. Againstheresies: you are not going to get anywhere here on a KJVonly forum by trying to correct the KJV. It is counterproductive.
Since you agree that the Greek word means “diligent” and the KJV translators followed Tyndale and used “study” was it because they were trying to be more interpretive and less literal or was it because the 16th century usage of the word study had a primary meaning of diligence?
