Then these Greek scholars must surely love God much more than the uneducated cleaning lady who merely reads her hand-me-down KJV Bible on her lunch break and evenings before bedtime.

Right?

Not a competition.

There are those who will pursue *false* relationships for whatever the motivations stir their dark hearts.

I was writing of those of honest minds, *no matter their station in life*, who desire to love with all their hearts and souls.

It's a natural inclination to be together with their beloved, whether that means extra time spent holding hands at lunchtime, or in discussing mutual scholarly interests.

Greek is your specific topic, but the idea of *setting a limit* on pursuing further knowledge is alien to the greater subject matter.

God knows the heart of the scholar and also the cleaning lady. He knows who is "all" in.

Matthew 22:36-40

36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
