This is not a debate thread concerning solo/sola scriptura as in this other thread.
What I would like to do is simply study this verse as it appears in the greek so please do not derail to any other topic other than this 1 verse [at least for now ]Thanks

Since the topic of the Bereans was being discussed so much on another thread, I thought I would bring a post that I had up on that thread to this one so we could further discuss it w/o derailing the other thread
Perhaps we can examing each major greek word used in this verse and how they are used elsewhere.
That is if any here are interested

The greek word #4288 is interesting and only used 1 time in Acts and the rest in 2 Corinthians 8 and 9.
According to the lexicon it uses the root word #2372, which is used as "fury/wrath" in most places of the NT [expecially in Revelation].
ISA) Acts 17:11 These yet were more well-generated of the ones in Thessalonica, who-any receive the word with all passion/pro-qumiaV <4288> the according to day, examining the Writings if it may be having these thusly.

Strong's Number G4288 matches the Greek προθυμία (prothymia), which occurs 6 times in 5 verses in the Greek concordance of the KJV
Page 1 / 1 (Act 17:11 - 2Cr 9:2)
4288. prothumia proth-oo-mee'-ah from 4289; predisposition, i.e. alacrity:--forwardness of mind, readiness (of mind), ready (willing) mind.
4253. pro pro a primary preposition; "fore", i.e. in front of, prior (figuratively, superior) to:--above, ago, before, or ever.
2372. thumos thoo-mos' from 2380; passion (as if breathing hard):--fierceness, indignation, wrath. Compare 5590.
