In Strongs Greek Dictionary #3956, pas; includ. all the forms of declension;; appar. a prim. word. all,any,every,the whole:-
It is used as "the whole" in Eph 4:16 and as "of every" in 1st Cr 11:3,Acts 2:5,Luke 5:17,Math 13:47,Phm 1:6,Rev 5:9 and Rev 18:2.
It is used as "all" hundreds of times.
I did not find "pas "Strongs # 3956, used as over or before in the entire concordance. In the 26 translations book, two paraphrase it, but none say "over all creation". I found that only NKJV(per BkueletterBible.org) uses "over all creation".
SpookBrat, you stated..."I read several different Biblical translations and several said “over all creation”, but the KJV says “of all creation”.
" spookBrat, which bible translations did you read, that used "over all creation"?
Strong's Greek Dictionary #2937 ktisis: = original formation: building,creation,creature,ordinance.
Vines dictionary = primarily "the act of creating," or "the creative act in process," has this meaning in Rom 1:20; Gal 6:15.
Like the English word "creation," it also signifies the product of the "creative" act, the "creature," as in Mar 16:15, RV; Rom 1:25; 8:19; Col 1:15 etc.; in Hbr 9:11, AV, "building."
I will be back, I have came across a lot more to look into. Cheers:^)
